The Tower of Babel Has Been Fount

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.

At Christmastime Read the Gospel of Mark

The Gospel of Mark can be read in about an hour and a half. The show's host, Martin Tanner, suggests that during the Christmas season everyone should read the Gospel of Mark. 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.

Early Christian Beliefs About Jesus

As a follow-up to last week's show, in which host Martin Tanner described his text debate with uninformed, evangelical, anti-Mormon critic Iain Sharp, Host, Martin Tanner suggests two books for listeners interested in more information comparing and contrasting Latter-day Saint Christian beliefs with those of Evangelical Christians: "Are Mormons Christians?" and "How Wide the Divide." BYU Professor Stephen Robinson authored both books. Next, Martin gives a brief sketch of early Christian beliefs about Christmas, including, when Jesus was born, information about about Mary and Joseph, and, Jesus's vocation as a Tekton (craftsman). Martin discusses Jesus's earthly family, and then traces the belief in a Second Coming of Jesus to Acts 1:11 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. The "Son of Man" described in Daniel chapter 7, was the annointed one, or Messiah, to early Christians. Jesus most used phrase to describe himself was "Son of Man," 30 times in Matthew, 14 times in Mark, 25 times in Luke, and 12 times in John.

I’ve been listening to Religion Today for many years. Martin Tanner is a master scholar and teaches Latter-day Saint doctrine and history accurately. I appreciate his willingness to approach relevant and sometimes controversial topics, while being true to what is taught in scripture and by living prophets. He’s even responded to my personal questions via email.
