I just started watching Ken Burns’s documentary The American Revolution. Knowing his political leanings, I paid close attention to the details. One moment immediately stood out in episode 1. In discussing the First Continental Congress and the delegates from the thirteen colonies, historian Stacy Schiff described them as people...

James Talarico: "I believe Christianity points to the truth. I also think other religions of love point to the same truth. I think of different religious traditions as different languages, but we are all talking about the same reality. I believe Jesus Christ reveals that reality to us, but I also think that other traditions reveal that reality in their own ways with their own symbol structures. And I've learned more about my tradition by learning more about Buddhism and Hinduism and Islam and Judaism. And so I see these beautiful faith traditions as circling the same truth about the universe, about the cosmos." You can believe those things, but you can't be a Christian and believe that all religions point to the same truth. In John 14:6, the Jesus that James Talarico claims to follow says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." Talarico is still a member of his childhood congregation, St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, which is a very progressive church in Austin. It shouldn't be surprising at all that in the church’s About Us page it says, "We are Christ centered, yet we respect and learn from all religions of love." That's not a Christian position. If God is love and we believe in the trinity: God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, which no other religion believes in, then He is actually the only source of love. There aren't other religions of love in addition to Christianity. It doesn't come as a surprise that Talarico is essentially a universalist who claims to be a Christian and uses some Christian tenets, but actually doesn't believe in the exclusivity of Christ.

Did you know there might be a second language on the Book of Mormon gold plates? Most Latter-day Saints have heard that the plates were written in Reformed Egyptian, but not as many people realize that the Book of Mormon started as essentially a different language first. And the relationship between these two languages, I believe, supports the authenticity of the Book of Mormon. What the Nephite language started as, is described in the first chapter of the book of Mormon as "the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians." Scholars have theorized that this first language could contain a mix of Hebrew and Egyptian features. So the Book of Mormon writing may have started out looking something like this, a Judahite variety of Egyptian known as Palestinian Hieratic that is attested in Lehi and Nephi’s day. But languages don’t stay static. After hundreds of years, it seems this earlier Egyptian language evolved into a modified, or Reformed Egyptian, as Moroni calls it at the end of the book. So maybe something like this. Since the writings of Nephi and Mormon both appear to be included on plates that became the Book of Mormon, one would expect their languages to look different. And Martin Harris’s visit to Professor Charles Anthon may show evidence of this shift. New research reveals Anthon may have seen two different transcripts: one that resembled Egyptian—like at the beginning of the Book of Mormon— and another that was harder to identify, just like we’d expect from an evolving, reformed language. Language changing over time is totally natural—just look at how different English was a few hundred years ago! So this shift in the Book of Mormon’s language is exactly what we’d expect from an authentic, ancient record. If you want to learn more, read KnoWhy 774 at Scripture Central.
