“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” (2 Corinthians 11:13-15)
1. There Is No Evidence For The Book Of Mormon Or Things In It
There is no evidence for the Book of Mormon or anything that takes place in it. Cities and their names have never been found, and people’s names have never been found on graven stone. The supposed Golden Plates have never been seen except for speculations of supposed people in Joseph Smith’s company. It is a coincidence that he claims an angel took it, in order to not produce any proof of it. You know that scientists would have dated those plates and seen that they were from the 1800s, making it a fraud. The book also talks about brass plates, the sword of Laban, and many other things that have never been discovered. There are also a number of animals that are mentioned in this book that did not exist on the American continent until the Europeans arrived. All these things are big red flags. Seeing there is no evidence for the Book of Mormon is a red flag.
2. Bible Verses Were Copied Into The Book Of Mormon In The KJV Style
Verses from the Bible were copied and pasted into the Book of Mormon in the King James style. For example, Isaiah 4:3 is in 2 Nephi 14:3, and it reads, “and it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy—everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem.” (Isaiah 4:3 KJV). This is the same thing that happens with every other verse from the Bible that is added to the Book of Mormon. But was anybody speaking in old English in the 1800s? Absolutely not. You can look at Joseph Smith’s writings, and it sounds nothing like what we see in the KJV Bible. So if the Book of Mormon was written in Reformed Egyptian, then it would have been translated into how people spoke in English at that time. Therefore, we see a huge red flag, seeing the KJV Verses splattered all across this book. What people speak is what they translate, not the case here.
3. Book Of Mormon Contradictions When Compared To The Bible
There are dozens of Book of Mormon Contradictions when it comes to the Bible. For example, the Book of Mormon teaches that we are saved after all we can do, where the Bible teaches that by grace we are saved through faith and not of works. The Book of Mormon teaches that Jesus atoned for our sins in the garden and finished it on the cross, where the Bible teaches that Jesus atoned for our sins with His death on the cross. The Book of Mormon teaches that baptism is necessary for salvation, where the Bible teaches that faith alone in Jesus saves us. The Book of Mormon teaches that Jesus would be born in Jerusalem, where the Bible prophecies of Jesus being born in Bethlehem. This is just a sampling of contradictions that you can find in the Book of Mormon. If you desire to see them all, click HERE. A Book from God would not have contradictions.
4. Book Of Mormon Plagiarism When Compared To The Bible
There is a vast amount of Book of Mormon Plagiarisms when compared to the Bible. The following full chapters have been copied and pasted from the Bible. Isaiah 2-14;48-51;53;54. Matthew 6, 7. Along with full chapters, the following verses were copied and pasted, while being changed also. Isaiah 52:7,11,12. Malachi 4:2. Matthew 3:8-10. Matthew 25:41. John 3:1-7. John 5:26-29. 1 Corinthians 12:4-10. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. 1 Corinthians 15:57,58. Revelation 14:11. Revelation 20:10. Revelation 22:11. If you want to see where these verses exist in the Book of Mormon, then click this LINK. As for the chapters mentioned above, these were used as fillers to make the Book of Mormon appear bigger than it really is. Imagine Joseph and his cohorts making up this story and then copying and pasting big chunks of the Bible to make it sound like scripture.
5. Jesus’s Name Was Known In The Old Testament Times
The name of Jesus was known in the Old Testament times of the Book of Mormon. His name is mentioned hundreds of times, where in the same time period nobody knew what the name of the Messiah would be. They knew He would be called Emmanuel, which means “God with us”, but nothing about his true identity. And for the Book of Mormon to call Jesus, Jesus Christ, before Jesus’s birth is a huge red flag also. This is saying, Jesus, the Messiah, has come, when He hadn’t been born yet. My friends, the very fact that God’s people were not privy to know the Messiah’s name would mean that nobody would have known it also. Only with the announcement to Mary would she know to call her son, Jesus. Speaking of Jesus’s name being added to the Book of Mormon, it was to make it sound more like scripture, although a false Jesus is being portrayed.
Not a good idea to put your faith in something that has no evidence.
The evidence is born of the Holy Ghost. Read the Book of Mormon and sincerely pray to know if it’s true and God will reveal it to you. Without that effort, you will never know.
Amen to that! No greater witness than that borne of God through the Holy Ghost to those who sincerely asks and desire to know!
God does send delusions to people making them believe what is false if they won’t accept Truth.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
10 and every kind of wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion, leading them to believe what is false, 12 so that all who have not believed the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemned.
Amen! There is no evidence for the Book of Mormon and it plagiarizes from the Holy Bible and it teaches nothing new except for heresy. So ditch it for the Holy Bible. Turn to Jesus Christ or burn forever. The Book of Mormon is false and fiction. The Holy Bible is true and fact. Turn to the real Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible. Time is running out for us. Turn to Him.
You are simply parroting the false information on this website. The truth of God is not born of a lie. Learn for yourself if the Book of Mormon is true, rather than relying on someone who misrepresents the doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ. Read the book and sincerely pray about it as millions of others have (including me) and you will learn the truth – and that truth will bring you closer to Jesus Christ than you are today. I promise.
The BoM is nothing but fiction. Joseph Smith was an evil lying con man.
All of the supposed contradictions between the Book of Mormon and the Bible are either:
A. grossly incorrect (the BKM states that Jesus was born AT Jerusalem (e.g. 5 miles away in Bethlehem) rather than IN Jerusalem as your site claims – see Alma 7:10)
B. misleading / misquoting / misinterpreting the Bible (e.g. Baptism IS required: see John 3:5, 2 Nephi 31 – entire chapter)
C. personal opinions (e.g. the events in the Garden of Gethsemane as Christ took upon himself our sins – just as the Priests in the temple would cast the sins of Israel upon the sacrificial lamb – being misstated as ‘atonement’ even though Christ’s death was required for atonement)
If you are lying or misrepresenting the truth, then you are not an emissary of Christ – who never lied and would never lie. Please correct your site – it’s grossly misleading.
While I do appreciate your sincerity and earnestness in following Christ and trying to convert others – which efforts are admirable – you destroy your credibility with false quotes and misrepresentations. Please update your site with correct information.
