The Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon is a volume of scripture comparable to the Bible It is a record of God s dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and contains, as does the Bible, the fullness of the everlasting gospel.The book was written by many ancient prophets by the spirit of prophecy and revelation Their words, written on gold plates, were quoted and abridged by a prophet historian named Mormon The record gives an account of two great civilizations One came from Jerusalem in 600 B.C., and afterward separated into two nations, known as the Nephites and the Lamanites The other came much earlier when the Lord confounded the tongues at the Tower of Babel This group is known as the Jaredites After thousands of years, all were destroyed except the Lamanites, and they are among the ancestors of the American Indians The crowning event recorded in the Book of Mormon is the personal ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ among the Nephites soon after his resurrection It puts forth the doctrines of the gospel, outlines the plan of salvation, and tells men what they must do to gain peace in this life and eternal salvation in the life to come After Mormon completed his writings, he delivered the account to his son Moroni, who added a few words of his own and hid up the plates in the hill Cumorah On September 21, 1823, the same Moroni, then a glorified, resurrected being, appeared to the Prophet Joseph Smith and instructed him relative to the ancient record and its destined translation into the English language In due course the plates were delivered to Joseph Smith, who translated them by the gift and power of God The record is now published in many languages as a new and additional witness that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that all who will come unto him and obey the laws and ordinances of his gospel may be saved Concerning this record the Prophet Joseph Smith said I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book In addition to Joseph Smith, the Lord provided for eleven others to see the gold plates for themselves and to be special witnesses of the truth and divinity of the Book of Mormon Their written testimonies are included herewith as The Testimony of Three Witnesses and The Testimony of Eight Witnesses We invite all men everywhere to read the Book of Mormon, to ponder in their hearts the message it contains, and the to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ if the book is true Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost See Moroni 10 3 5.

claims to be an historical history of the Americas, which is a verifiable claim The linguistic, anachronistic, biological, sociological, and archaeological evidence against this being a legitimate history of the Americas is monumentally staggering Pick a random field of study, and that field has numerous evidences illustrating the impossibility of this being historically accurate Even BYU s own archaeology department shut down their research into its historical accuracy in the seventies, because they didn t find anything after decades of field research Setting all of that aside, the text is derivative to the point of containing translation text errors and phrases unique to the contemporary books it borrowed chunks from mainly 1 View of the Hebrews 1825 Or the Tribes of Israel in America

me the Book of Mormon as a gift to me when I was still a student at Seattle University I reading it off and on for the next week or so and determined that it was an obscure history book with weird names, place names and events and in fact could even have been written by a science fiction writer especially after reading about the role of the Liahona a current day device that must have been a GPS of some sort powered by mental focus It also sounded so much like the King James Version of the Bible in places that I couldn t help but think the author had been taught with that book The history of the Nephites and Lamanites were typical stories of the rise and fall of nations all explained by the book as occurrences of falls from righteousness and conversions to righteousness To me, it sounded a lot like an amateur s attempt to put a spiritual face on historical events and so I put it down and forgot about it ...Somehow I m not surprised Orson Scott Card and Stephanie Meyer don t recognize
