LatestHis Name Had for Good and Evil: JS-H 1:33 Two Centuries Later
In 1823 an angel told a 17-year-old farm boy that his name "should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues." It was in print by 1842.

Deuteronomy 18:22 asks one question: did it come to pass? This 2026 edition tests Joseph Smith’s prophecies by the Bible’s standard and by the date of the earliest record: the D&C 87 Civil War revelation printed in 1851, the Twelve at Far West, Stephen A. Douglas, the Rocky Mountains, and the Book of Mormon going to the nations.

In the 1980s a Berkeley group, including agnostic and Jewish scientists, spent about 10,000 hours testing the Book of Mormon’s wordprints. They checked the method on Twain, Heinlein, and a translator first.

On Mars’ Hill, Paul quoted the poet Aratus, “For we are also his offspring,” and built an argument on it. The Greek word is genos: kin, family, stock. Here’s what it means, why “offspring just means creatures” breaks Paul’s logic, and how Hebrews 12:9, Malachi 2:10, and Romans 8:16-17 call God the Father of our spirits.
Read MoreMade in His Image: Genesis 1:26 and 5:3 Mean What They Say
Genesis defines its own words. The same two Hebrew words for “image” and “likeness” that describe man made by God describe Seth, born “in his own likeness, after his image” to Adam. Here’s what tselem and demut mean across the Bible, what scholars like Benjamin Sommer say, and how the Restoration read it first.
Read MoreGod Has a Body: The Verses vs. John 4:24
“God is a Spirit” is the go-to proof that the Father has no body. Read John 4 in context, check the Greek, and set it beside Luke 24:39, the seventy elders who “saw the God of Israel,” Daniel’s two figures, Stephen’s vision, and Origen’s own admission that “incorporeal” isn’t a Bible word.
