Did any of you MORMaNS read the Book of Mormon?
No need to go to the store to get you a copy of TIME ( I thought it was a popular magazine not a scholarly) Read the BOM no need to go any further.
Let me show you what the "MOST CORRECT BOOK ON EARTH" says:
Since Joe brought us the RESTORATION, where can I get a copy of the LOST books Joe RESTORED?
"I would inform you that I translated by the gift and power of God, and caused to be written one hundred and sixteen pages, the which I took from the book of Lehi, which was an account abridged from the plates of Lehi, by the hand of Mormon; which said account some person or persons have stolen and kept from me" Preface to the original Book of Mormon.
Where can I get a copy of the BOOK of LEHI? 116 pages of the translation by Joe NEVER PRINTED - LOST by Martin Harris. Was anything important to your salvation in there? How does this make the BOM the most correct book on earth?
"And now, if there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God, that ye may be found spotless at the judgment-seat of Christ." Title page Book of Mormon Is this an admission of faults?
"and if we could have written in Hebrew, behold, ye would have had no imperfection in our record" Mormon 9:33 More slip-ups? Too bad the plates were not large enough.
"I think this sacred, but if I err, excuse me" 1Nephi 19:6 There is NO EXCUSE when dealing with mens souls!
"written according to my memory" Esther 5:1 Hope he did not slip up & forget something important!
"written to the best of my knowledge" Jacob 7:26
I should write a FEW things I considered most precious Jacob 1:2
LOST BOOKS in the BOM
Where are the records of Zeniff refered to in Mosiah 25:5
How about the words of Zenoc, Neum and Zenos 1Nephi19:10
Or the written word of Zenos and Zenock Alma 33:3,13,15
So then where is the "fullness of the gospel" 1 nephi 13:24 with ALL these WHOLE MISSING BOOKS? maybe that is why we can not find the Fullness of the Gospel in the BOM. EG. exaltaion, god has a body, godhood, one god in PURPOSE, baptism for the dead, PH-Aaron, pre-existance. Must be in these LOST BOOKS.
Was god's word lost? If so why were they not restored during the restoration? For that matter , in the "fullness of the gospel" where are the lost books? BOM tells us to "read the words of the prophet zenos" Jacob 5:1 and Jacob 6:1 Where are this prohets words now? Lost? How can we read them?
The Journal of Discourses Vol 3 pg. 347 says only 1/3 of the plates translated. Where are the other 2/3 and what is contained in them? Is it important? Faults, errors, according to mans memory & knowledge, mistakes, partial accounts, imperfections, lost prophets and lost portions/books, stolen sections, only 1/3 translated; hardly a faith promoting testimony! You trust your soul to such an imperfect error prone cooked/modified book?
Where does the BIBLE ever admit to any of these imperfections?
Satan cast doubt on God's word Genesis 3 "Yea hath God said...?"
You bit the apple, you donned his Apron, now you too doubt God's word!
This is the only explanation for believing that he would bury it in some underground vault.
Where does Jesus ever cast doubt on God's word?
Jesus said John 10:35 "the scripture can not be broken" You say he is wrong! I say you are wrong! I trust Jesus, not Joe.
Romans 10:17 "so then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God"
It is no wonder you have NO faith, you discount God's word in ignorance of the facts.
What if Joe Sliped-up again? Are you willing to TRUST your ETERNAL soul to such a SLIP-UP, hope so, "I Know the Church is True, I know the Church is true" Religion?
Why is it that EVERY part of Mormonism we touch on, is full of holes? Why is it LDS ignore this part of their history? Why does the Church filter ALL materials for ONLY "Faith Promoting" information. Why is it the Church BUYS materials that are NOT Faith Promoting and hides them in a vault in the mountains? Why can't even Church Historians view these documents? Personal Journals, correspondence etc. BURIED like gods word was supposedly at one time.

The finger prints, the evidence is everywhere, in spite of this, some would rather repeat over & over "I know the Church is true, I know the Church is true" This mantra repeated long enough & loud enough might be able to even convince you Mormons. Your personal testimony can not change the facts.
