    How Joseph Smith Translated the Book of Mormon

    In this episode of Religion Today, host Martin Tanner describes from the original, primary sources, how Joseph Smith likely translated the Book of Mormon.  Oliver Cowdery, Martin Harris, David Whitmer and others speculated that Joseph Smith saw words or letters in his seer stone or in the Nephite Interpreters.  This cannot be true, because Joseph Smith made revisions to the completed manuscript, which he would never have done if the words were God's alone.  Joseph Smith told Joseph Knight that he "could see anything" in the Nephite Interpreters.  This implies Joseph Smith could literally see the events in the Book of Mormon text, along with emotions, untranslated words, clothing, animals, buildings, way of life, and other details of Nephite life in the Nephite Interpreters.

    The Tower of Babel Has Been Found

    The Tower of Babel described in the Book of Genesis is not a myth.  It did exist.  It has been found.  It was a ziggurat, or stepped pyramid, located about 56 miles south of present day Bagdad, Iraq.  Its name was "Etemenanki" with means "Temple of the Foundation of Heaven and Earth."   It was dedicated to the pagan god Marduk.  It was built about the14th century BC.  It was a 7-layered pyramid, meaning it had seven stories, or steps.  The earliest pyramids were not smooth-sided like the Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt.  The descriptions, ancient and modern, of Etemenanki are so similar to the descriptions of the Tower of Babel in Genesis, there is no doubt they are one and the same.

It is the earliest Gospel, and in effect, the Gospel of Peter, because John Mark, the author was writing Peter's description of what Jesus said and did.  The Gospel of Mark is a marvelous testimony of Jesus as the Messiah promised by God, to save his chosen people.  This is what people are celebrating at Christmastime.
