Black & White Evidence That The Book Of Mormon Is True

[@MT-tx2xd]

I believe the book of Mormon is the word of God.

[@jeffmorin5867]

And you're going to find out how wrong you are.

[@tabandken8562]

Why? How? You believe God needs a seer stone and gold plates to help a man "translate" another set of Scriptures that were supposedly buried after after His Church got started in America and died off for hundreds of years? No He didn't. First off, God wouldn't allow His Church to die off for hundreds of years. He would have prevented that and it would have grown. God certainly wouldn't need JS to use a seer stone to translate, which goes against His word. God wouldn't need to translate at all. He would have spoken to JS and done so without stealing from the man-made English translation, the KJV. There's nothing unique or difficult about the BoM. All of the text is remix of several books while using the KJV bible as filler.

The BOM says the prophet Nephi has a vision the Bible was CORRUPTED and "plain and precious parts" were removed AFTER the 12 apostles and after the formation of the “great and ABOMINABLE church” (1 Nephi 13:26-29). Nephi claims this church was founded by the DEVIL (1 Nephi 14:3) No other Christian Church believes this. While Christians believe in one God in three persons. Joseph Smith and Brigham Young taught numerous Gods past and future. Joseph smith said: "He (Father) was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ Himself did" (King Follett Sermon) Brigham Young made it clear God is a polygamists. "The only men who become Gods, even the sons of Gods are those that enter into polygamy." (Brigham Young) Journal of Discourses 11 p.269 Joseph Smith changed the biblical, eternal God into an evolving, created god, who is not all powerful and is one of an endless number of gods. This is a PROVABLY FALSE claim if you believe the bible. "Before me NO god was formed, nor shall there be ANY after me.” (Isaiah 43:10) If LDS is true, then God could not make this claim, for he was just a man at one point; nor could he claim that no gods would come after him, for that is the goal of J.S. and B.Y. Isaiah 44:6 says, "I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is NO God." & "Is there any God besides me?.. I know not one". God is saying there is NOT an infinite amount of Gods, and there is none like Him. LDS teaches that there is. In the Bible, Jesus' teachings in Matthew 19:3-6 indicate that monogamy is God's ideal for marriage. In this passage, Jesus quotes from the Genesis creation account, specifically Genesis 1:27 and 2:24, saying, "the two will become one flesh," not more than two. Jesus also said, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the TWO will become one flesh" in a quote from Genesis 2:24. Jesus criticized polygamy. That is why I ask: What made you believe the bible is corrupted to make a new God that is not eternal, not creator of the Universe and approves of polygamy? You have to believe this if you follow the BOM and it's "prophets" Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.

Edwin asserts that Joseph Smith did not write the Book of Mormon. Of course, Joseph Smith wrote the Book of Mormon. The text came from his mouth to his scribes. Even the Lord said Joseph was called to write the book. “Behold, thou (Joseph Smith) wast called and chosen to write the Book of Mormon, and to my ministry; . . . .” (D&C 24:1). The issue is not whether he wrote the book or not, but whether it came from his imagination or from inspiration or revelation.

That assumes Joseph Smith didn't just create the words in the "D&C" out of thin air. Everything REQUIRES faith that Joseph Smith is telling the truth.

Joseph didn’t have to pull it from his mind, or at least not originally. What did you think about, “The Late War,” connection? Gilbert J Hunt wrote a retelling of the war of 1812 in a King James style. That could explain a lot of similarities with the War chapters of the Book of Mormon. But I think Joseph got a little sloppy and too specific in copying from, “The Late War.” "two thousand hardy men, who ... fought freely for their country .. Now the men of war were . men of dauntless courage." - Hunt "two thousand of those young men ... to defend their country. ... they took their weapons of war, . were all young men, and they were exceeding valiant for courage, .. " - Smith Like, was he even trying here? “.... near Moravian Town ... And it came to pass ... the army ... were under ... a chief warrior, whom they called Tecumseh [.] smote their chief warrior [Tecumseh], and slew him ... he fell to the earth." - Hunt "..people of Morianton .. And it came to pass .. the army ... was led by a man whose name was Teancum [...] they did pursue Teancum, and slew him ... he was dead, and had gone the way of all the earth" - Smith

I know for a fact that the book of Mormon is true. The audible voice of God shook me to the bone & told me to "deny not the Holy Spirit". I was talking to God, & telling Him that I thought I had "graduated religion". Meaning, I wasn't sure if I needed religion anymore. I was a bit confused at the time to say the least. I had already felt the Holy Spirit & had a burning in my bosom many, many times before. God had already testified to me by the Spirit. The warmth in my chest I felt in that moment wasn't unfamiliar. It was the burning fire of the Holy Spirit, a clear message, a familiar confirmation that resonated deeply. Undeniable. I was shown that: Joseph Smith's vision of God the Father & Jesus Christ standing together in the air was true. The Book of Mormon wasn't just any book; it was the very word of God. And the temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints weren't mere buildings, but sacred houses of the Lord, where families & couples could be eternally bound together. What other evidence did I need? By the mercy & Grace of God, I heard His voice. I will never deny it. And I will proclaim & declare it forever. Jesus Christ is the Living God. He is my Savior. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He will return to rule and reign on this earth. The Book of Mormon AND the Bible will help us draw even closer to him. I promise this is true. We must repent & have faith in Him. I share this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

This video presents a really poor quality argument. 1. You keep asserting that there is no way that a less educated individual in Joseph Smith's day would have known words like ignominious. But you provide no evidence for this. When you look at the letters and writings of the 19th century, you see a significantly more sophisticated vocabulary and word usage. You need to show that these words were uncommon or unknown in Joseph Smith's day not in our day to be saying anything valuable. 2. You treat the ranking of a definition in a dictionary as if it correlates with frequency of usage. It doesn't. Dictionaries typically list words based on historical origin (i.e. when that definition is first attested). All those arguments about how unlikely it was that Joseph would use the 8th or 9th definition from the dictionary list are absolutely meaningless and have no value whatsoever.

There are several types of "translation" methods within the English language. The first is called "literal" or "word for word" and was Not the method used in translating the Book of Mormon. The BofM was actually translated by the 8th method, known as "communicative". This is where the actual meaning of a word, within the contents of a sentence or paragraph, is the primary consideration and translated by the best possible word(s) to the recipient. Hence "the record of the Jews" becomes "the Bible", because that is what was meant. It's not any kind of translation error or mistake. It's just not a literal or word for word translation.

[@jeffreyharris3440]

@@Lomochenko Nephi indicated in the first two verses of the first chapter of his first book that he was an educated man, taught in the language of his father (Hebrew) and also the language of the Egyptians. He was also initiated into the higher ordinances of his religion (this is what mysteries means before books like Sherlock Holmes). Mormon was a political leader, prophet, and general, beyond being a historian. This means that he was probably well educated. Also, Mormon was most likely compiling the speeches from his sources. Poor Moroni had years of solitude, and had probably only the records to keep him company. One can tell that Moroni's literary skills increased over time, as he probably ruminated in isolation, reading the records of his own people and the jaredites. He obviously got better as time went on.

[@jeffreyharris3440]

Sometimes big words are more concise in explaining big topics than many small words. That is why The Book of Mormon is available for children, teens, adults and highly educated people who have already passed through the highest ordinances of the Gospel. The most important lessons of the Book of Mormon only come when it is taken seriously. That includes looking up the meanings of words that you may not know. Books that don't challenge you don't make you grow - and the whole point of the Book of Mormon is that it invites you to come to know Jesus Christ. Thinking that the Book and its meanings should all be simple to grasp, kinda misses the point. There is an LDS author by the name of David Butler who has given a series of fantastic interviews where he shows that while the Book can be understood at some basic levels, it was written by authors who make constant allusions to esoteric religious ceremonies. If you are unfamiliar with the ceremonies, you won't gain the full meaning. But please don't misunderstand. There is no intention to shut people out, but instead to lift people out of ignorance.

[@brettpinion4233]

Friend. That "testimony" test is not biblical. I don't disagree that you get a feeling just as Jehovah's witnesses and Muslims and Hindus. The terms set forth in Moroni 10:4 are manipulative and use circular reasoning. D&C Section 9:8-9 - tells us that if something is true it will make our "bosom burn" and we will FEEL that it is right. Maroni 10:4 says: "he will manifest the truth of it unto you" The BIBLE WARNS us against this SUBJECTIVE type of truth test. The LDS test for truth violates the Biblical test. Why? Because we have a sinful nature that can be DECEIVED. Proverbs 28:26 "He that trusts in his own (bosom) heart is a FOOL." The Biblical test begins first with PRIOR Scriptural revelation and to test all things by it (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:12-2:3; 1 Thes. 5:19-21). 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV "STUDY ... rightly dividing the word of TRUTH." Acts 17:11 "EXAMINE THE SCRIPTURES to see if what said is TRUE". 1John 4:1 says: "BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT, ... because MANY FALSE PROPHETS (J.S.) have gone out into the world." The Bible repeatedly warns us about false teachers, false prophets, false Jesuses, false gospels and counterfeit Christianity (Matt 7:15, 24:24; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 2 Cor. 11:3-4, 13-15; Gal. 1:6-9). Scripture explicitly warns us against demonic spiritual deception (1 Tim. 4:1). "And no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." 2 Cor. 11:14 Even when Paul and Silas delivered the truths of the gospel to the people of Berea, the Bereans were commended for EXAMINING the Scriptures to validate the claims of the apostles. There are NO Biblical directives to pray for new revelation based on a warm feeling for verification. Would you pray about the validity of the Koran or about whether or not Muhammad is a true prophet? If no, why not? Are the Muslims not sincere? They pray 5 times per day. Don’t they feel good or right about their faith? I have sincerely prayed with real faith in Christ and He has shown me Mormonism is false! I don't ask that you believe me, believe the words of the Bible that Jesus affirmed. "Before me NO god was formed, nor shall there be ANY after me.” (Isaiah 43:10) If Mormonism is true, then God could not make this claim, for he was just a man at one point; nor could he claim that no gods would come after him, for that is the goal of J.S. and LDS members. Isaiah 44:6 says, "I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is NO God." & "Is there any God besides me?.. I know not one". God is saying there is NOT an infinite amount of Gods, and there is none like Him. LDS teaches that there is.
