Rolling eyes.

Now if I'm with a Muslim I treat them with respect; otherwise, I consider them books to be read and used.

Joseph was the self-styled Muhammad of the West. It's clear he deliberately plagiarized Muhammad's story and attitude toward traditional Christianity. Joseph, the magpie prophet. Did he have any original ideas?

What the hades????????

That there are //s to their stories means he wasn't a vessel for new ideas?

What about?

Christianity being practiced in the Americas before his advent.

Not that it's worth responding to you when you're trolling, but baptism for the dead was a fresh idea. Although it was practiced in New Testament times.

I was taught exactly this in the MTC. Something about not treading the word of God under foot. So we kept our scriptures off the floor.
