Jeremy Runnells - On Mormonism and the CES Letter
Jeremy Runnells is the author of the CES Letter - a bombshell document that went viral in 2013 and sent waves out through the greater Mormon community. This document has impacted thousands of Mormons and has been a contributing factor to the mass exodus currently occurring in Mormonism.
You can explore this document, the LDS response, and much more, at https://cesletter.org
In this conversation, Jeremy and I discuss both of our Mormon stories (Jeremy's being LDS and mine being Fundamentalist) We also take a high-level perspective of the CES Letter and Mormonism including:
DNA evidence of the peopling of the America's - Anachronisms found in the Book of Mormon
Translator verbiage of the 1769 King James Bible (that Joseph Smith had in his possession) showing up in the 1st edition of the Book of Mormon
The book of Abraham and the actual Egyptian translation of the source document papyrus
Polygamy, Polyandry, and the suspect behavior of Joseph Smith.
Dartmouth College and the group collaboration of the Smith family and others in founding a Masonic religion (Mormonism)
