Continuing right along, it's time to discuss the possibility of more books (not included in the traditional Protestant or Catholic canons) being the inspired word of our Creator.
Let's take a peek at The Book of Mormon, including both historical and archaeological angles, which are both incredibly important.
First, I am going to make a couple of definitive statements:
1) The plates in question are going to be unearthed and studied intensively.
2) It is a well-known fact that people tell lies and half truths all of the time, for their own selfish reasons.
That being said, let's entertain (without ever seeing the plates in question) the possibility that some of these books are indeed canonical, and are the inspired word of God. I am going to highlight a few books that got my attention. They include 1 Nephi, 2 Nephi, and Jacob.
What theory could possibly explain Native American genocide on a wide scale, and the American (Israeli) principle of Manifest Destiny?
Could it be a failure to accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
It's a point worth pondering, and it's something that will be discussed properly at length later.
I'll redirect my attention toward the controversy surrounding the Talmud, because it merits some discussion.
Some notable ideas explored inside:
1) Pedophilia is an acceptable practice.
2) Jesus is currently in Hell, being boiled in a pot of excrement.
Too much discussion surrounding this is steeped in Antisemitism, but these are discussions worth having in our society.
I must also make the observation that the Sabbath is indeed Saturday.
It is a simple truth.
Another simple truth?
Only men are supposed to pastor churches.
The Unitarian Universalist belief system is simply and fundamentally not biblical.
It is actually heretical.
One last point before ending this letter?
Your personal business is between you and God.
There is no need for a middleman.
