The \u201cBook of Abraham\u201d is another fraudulent work perpetrated by the self acclaimed prophet Joseph Smith as a part of his compilations in the formation of the cult of Mormon and is included within the writings of the \u201cPearl of Great Price\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cBook of Abraham\u201d was acquired by Smith through a traveling mummy exhibition and once again Joseph went to work with his deceptive skills in interpreting the Egyptian papyri which included the images of 3 facsimiles.<\/span><\/p>\n

This book, according to its contents, is said to have been written by Abraham concerning his life and his vision concerning the cosmos and at the time of this transliteration, Egyptology was just being developed and therefore Smith\u2019s translation could not be readily challenged. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, today there is not one Egyptologists that recognizes the credibility to Smith\u2019s interpretation of this text. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to this, these hieroglyphics never mention the name of Abraham at all and in actuality what this papyri was representing here were the funerary texts as outlined in the \u201cBook of the Dead\u201d and the \u201cBook of Breathings.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Another interesting aspect concerning this papyri is that this ancient document originated around the first century BC which postdates Abraham\u2019s existence by about 1500 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

In conclusion the evidence is overwhelming and yet today Mormonism has either refused the evidence by means of ignorance or deception in regards to these heretical teachings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally in Ephesians 5:6,7 it says <\/span>6 <\/sup><\/span>Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God\u2019s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. <\/span>7 <\/sup><\/span>Therefore do not be partners with them.<\/span><\/p>\n
