“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (2 Nephi 19:6) – About 559–545 B.C.

“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation.” (2 Nephi 22:2) – About 559–545 B.C.

The King James Versions of Isaiah, chapters 2-14, are found in the Book of Mormon. You can read them in 2 Nephi, chapters 12-24. Isn't it interesting that the book of Isaiah, almost word for word, and in the King James style, is in the Book of Mormon? Details of what took place can be found below…

What we find in the Book of Mormon is a lot of passages from the Bible. This is especially true with the Book of Isaiah. What we call this is plagiarism. As stated above, Joseph Smith copied Isaiah, chapters 2 through 14, into his book. Those chapters are found in 2 Nephi, chapters 12 through 24. People often include Bible quotes in their writings, but this is vastly different. Joseph copied and pasted chapters from the Bible into his own book, and claimed his book to be scripture. Readers then refer to the Book of Mormon for this content instead of the Bible. These are verses from Isaiah, Malachi, Jesus, Paul, John, and more. Here are a few examples from Isaiah. It is written, “for unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6) “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.” (Isaiah 12:2) These verses are so beautiful, and that is why it upsets me to see them plagiarized in the Book of Mormon.

Plagiarism becomes obvious when you read the same verses in 2 Nephi. It is written, “for unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (2 Nephi 19:6) “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation.” (2 Nephi 22:2) So what is the takeaway from this? People are now quoting Isaiah verses from the Book of Mormon instead of the Bible. This takes people’s attention from the Book of Isaiah and puts it on Joseph's book instead. So we see Mormons members questioning the Bible, as they disregard it more and more each year. Joseph Smith plagiarized Isaiah and other books from the Bible. This has caused Mormons to question the validity of the Bible. Satan has led these people to read the Book of Mormon instead of the Bible more often. This is so evil. The devil’s tactics in adding fillers, like the Bible to his book, are so deceitful. The LDS people have fallen for his lies, and now you know the truth. You can either take what I said about the Book of Mormon as true or not. Amen.

Let us pray:
Oh Lord, I pray that there will be more Mormons that will hear the good news of the gospel and receive it with joy. I pray that they will stop seeing Christian evangelicals as evil people, and instead listen to their messages of hope. Help them understand that we love them. This is why we are pulling them out of the fire. Truly, salvation only comes through You, Jesus. No person can replace You or do Your job, like the prophets in Mormons think they are doing. I rebuke these false teachers and call them to repentance. They need to know that You are speaking to Your people in these last days and not to prophets like in times of old. The veil has been ripped, and Your presence is now with us and not temples made with hands. Thank You for making us Your Holy of Holies, and for dwelling with us, Your people. Lord. If it is Your will, cause these Mormon temples to fall into their own destruction. As they come tumbling to the ground, cast Your fire upon them also and consume them. Don’t allow these evildoers to continue on forever. I know that You can do all things. I trust in You, God. Nothing is impossible, for my God, who is Lord of the heavens and earth. I love You. Amen.
