RE: [TruthTalk] Book of Mormon one of top ten

[Kevin Deegan]

Blaine:  Anyone want to buy a book?

 

"The Book of Mormon claims to be a divinely inspired record. . . . This book must be either true or false. . . . If false, it is one of the most cunning, wicked, bold, deep-laid impositions ever planned upon the world, calculated to deceive and ruin millions who will sincerely receive it as the word of God. . . . If true, no one can possibly be saved and reject it; if false, no one can possibly be saved and receive it." Divine Authenticity of the Book of Mormon, Apostle Orson Pratt

 

" I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon is the most correct book on earth and the keystone of our religion, and that a man can get closer to God, keeping its precepts than any other book." Joe Smith 28 November 1841 history of the church

Would the Omniscient God of the Universe send forth a book like this?

Translated by the gift and power of God?
Remember it is the Mostests correct book on Earth

 

WHY IT IS NOT GOD's BOOK

The original edition of the Book of Mormon contained dozens of misspelled words eg. �tempels� Alma 16:13
Thousands of grammatical errors in the original edition of the Book of Mormon �I have wrote to them� 3 Nephi 26:8
Fabricated words �numerority� Alma 56:10
Changed doctrine in later editions (Benj changed to mosiah) Mosiah 21:28 king Benjamin is alive in spite of his earlier recorded death in Chap 6:5
1 Nephi 11:18 �Behold, the virgin which thou seest, is the mother of God.�
Plagiarism including whole chapters of the King James Translation of the Bible
Plates containing Reformed Egyptian translate into Formal Elizabethen English
Poor literary value
No Archaeological value
JOSEPH SMITH CLAIMED TO BE �AUTHOR AND PROPRIETOR� Title page BoM first ed.
Prepares us for the inevitable "And now, if there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God" Title Page

"Nevertheless, I do not write anything upon plates save it be that I think it be sacred. And now, if I do err, even did they err of old; not that I would excuse myself because of other men, but because of the weakness which is in me, according to the flesh, I would excuse myself." (1 Nephi 19:6)

 

What I think Joe meant to have said was the BoM is the MOST CORRECTED book on Earth!
"Remember, remember that it is not the work of God that is frustrated, but the work of men." (D&C 3:3).

 

The Bible on the other hands is Pure without error. There is no comparison of the two.
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." II Timothy 3:16

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is PURE

  The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ (Official Edition) by Joseph Smith (Translator)

Edition: Paperback 

Price: $4.99   

 

The book speaks for itself., August 2, 2003

There have been over 440,000 copies sold through amazon.com. The Book of Mormon was recently ranked among the top ten most influential books in the history of America by Book Magazine. It is a volume of holy scripture that goes hand in hand with the Bible.. It testifies of Christ- that He lives and loves us. It is an account written by ancient prophets (just as the Bible is) yet this record is about God's dealings with people who once lived in the Americas. Why not read the book yourself to discover what is has to offer?

 

 

Blaine, there have been a lot more Bibles sold than the BoM, and it is ALREADY PROVEN to be historically accurate.  Why not read that instead? There is NO PROOF of the BoM being written by "ancient prophets"--that is fantasy.  You belief that on faith ONLY. I'm sure that there have been plenty of other "most influential" books that have not been true OR of any benefit in the eyes of God.  You seem like much too nice of a guy to spend your life believing in something so utterly unsubstantiated and so obviously fictitious.  I know it's painful to have a paradigm shift in midlife, especially if you�ve been raised in a certain mindset since childhood--but it's time, my dear.  Reading �Spiderman� comics, and believing in them, doesn�t make them true. I know you are sincere, and my heart aches for you. Izzy
