Introduction to the Book of Mormon The Book of Mormon is a complex book covering a variety of historical, religious, political, and military events in a variety of ancient communities. The early writers of the Book of Mormon spoke Hebrew, and the primary spoken and written language of subsequent generations was largely derived from Hebrew. The Book of Mormon is offered as the most tangible and easiest test of the mission of Joseph Smith: he was either a forger and a con-man of the worst degree, or a prophet of God. www.jefflindsay.com /BOMIntro.shtml   (6496 words)

Book of Mormon The book is a writing of two early civilizations located on the American continent.The first civilization, the Jaredites, left the town of Babel (2,250 BC according to the Mormons) and came to Central America where they were destroyed due to corruption's. Words Of Mormon vs. 18---The word "faculty" is much too modern to have been used in 130 B.C. Mosiah 1:2 and 1:4---Again notice the "language of his fathers" and the language of the Egyptians." The language of the Jews was mostly Hebrew and the Egyptians were their enemies. Mormon 9:32,33--- I have underlined the words, "Altered by us," "the Hebrew hath been altered by us also" and "if we could have written in Hebrew, behold, ye would have had no imperfection in our record." These phrases are straw men in an attempt to excuse all the errors in the book. www.inplainsite.org /html/book_of_mormon.html   (7610 words)

The Book of Mormon Believers of the book and members of the religion are known as Mormons, a nickname given to them during the early years of the church, which is a nickname that continues today. As a Mormon myself, having a strong testimony of the truthfulness of The Book of Mormon, I would suggest that if a member of the Mormon faith is at any time struggling with a certain principle of the gospel, that they revisit their testimony and faith in the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is also referred to as the Stick of Joseph, and The Bible has been referred to as the Stick of Judah, meaning these are the records of those two tribes of Israel. members.tripod.com /~ronniesim/book_of_mormon.htm   (4260 words)

Gospel Link For LDS children, the Book of Mormon is a source of stories and heroes to equal those of the Bible—Joseph in Egypt, Daniel in the lions´ den, the faithful Ruth, and brave Queen Esther. In 1832, two and one-half years after the book was published, the word of the Lord warned the Saints that they had treated the revelations too lightly and had neglected to "remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon" (D&C 84:57).

Book of Mormon Evidences: Direct or Parallel? lds   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Mormons are fond of claiming there are archeological evidences of the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon claims that, during the same time periods, there were intelligent, skilled people inhabiting the same areas. The artifacts that we Mormons are so fond of describing are parallel evidences of the Book of Mormon, evidences that parallel the Book of Mormon story but are not direct evidences of that story. www.shire.net /mormon/evidence.html   (990 words)

Amazon.com: The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ (Official Edition): Books: Joseph Smith   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) The book makes two extraordinary claims: first, that it is an authentic ancient text that was recovered and translated in the early 1800s by Joseph Smith; and second, that both the writing of the original text and its translation by Smith into English were directly inspired by the God of the Judeo-Christian Bible. Thus the Book of Mormon claims to be both a reliable historical record of ancient American civilizations and a supplement to the Bible--a truly new testament for the modern era. Moreover, this edition of the Book of Mormon is explicitly geared towards the faithful of the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (and potential converts). www.amazon.com /Book-Mormon-Another-Testament-Official/dp/0967686555   (3262 words)

Joseph Smith's Attempt to Save The Book of Mormon: Covering Up the Black Hole In The Book of Mormon, Salt Lake City ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Mormons refer to these plates as the small plates of Nephi." These "gold plates" covered the same period as the plates of Lehi, but since they were written by another author, the story did not have to be identical to that found in the missing pages. While the Book of Mormon shows a fair knowledge of biblical Christianity and a real interest in the religious topics that were being debated during Joseph Smith's lifetime, it seems to be almost totally deficient when it comes to the issues which were of great importance to the Jews prior to the time of Christ. The Book of Mormon: Ancient or Modern?--Salt Lake City Messenger, April 1993: Mormon General Authority B. Roberts was "one of the greatest scholars the church has ever known." Toward the end of his life, after objectively studying all information available to him in regards to the Book of Mormon's origins, came to many uncomfortable conclusions. www.xmission.com /~country/reason/blkhol1.htm   (10456 words)

The Book of Mormon Movie, Volume 1: The Journey (2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) The Book of Mormon Movie, Volume 1 the Journey has pros and cons. And don't think that you'll see a big budget `Mormon Movie' not put out by the LDS church, if The Book of Mormon Movie was made for $40 million, or anything else considered big budget, it would never make the money back. Personally I am not a fan of these `Mormon Movies.' But this is what a lot of people asked for so this is what they get. www.imdb.com /title/tt0349159   (1025 words)

Sidney Rigdon: Creating the Book of Mormon Composition of The Book of Mormon was a prodigious feat of memorization and dictation. Mormon apologists and Smith-as-Sole-Author advocates claim that Sidney Ridgon himself, and his family consistently denied Rigdon's involvement with the fabrication of The Book of Mormon and that every member of the family supported this denial, even some who were antagonistic to Mormonism. The Book of Mormon and The Doctrine and Covenants are consistent with the argument in Rigdon's Appeal. www.mormonstudies.com /criddle/rigdon.htm   (19729 words)

Steel in the Book of Mormon The use of literary topoi is a fairly common ancient literary device found extensively in the Book of Mormon (and, incidentally, an evidence for the antiquity of the text). It is quite pointless to argue that because the Book of Mormon does not correlate with early twenty-first century linguistic categories, that is somehow evidence that the Book of Mormon is ahistorical. Thus, anti-Mormons insist that the Book of Mormon must be evaluated on the basis of modern metallurgical terminology and science, which has categories and distinctions completely foreign to ancient peoples such as the ancient Egyptians and Hebrews, who had a single term covering what now is divided into many different categories. www.fairlds.org /Book_of_Mormon/Steel_in_the_Book_of_Mormon.html   (2445 words)

Is the Book of Mormon really an ancient book? And if the Book of Mormon is an ancient scripture, recorded by prophets, translated by inspiration, and revealed by God to our day and time, then we would be wise heed it's message and follow the movement it inaugurated, for in so doing we follow Jesus the Christ. The Book of Mormon employs the expressions "to go down" and "to go up" exactly as the Hebrews and Egyptians did with reference to the location of Jerusalem, and thus clearly establishes that Lehi's property lay somewhere in the country and not within the walls of Jerusalem. But strangely enough, the name in the Book of Mormon that has brought the most derision on that book, and caused the greatest embarrassment to the Latter-day Saints, especially among those holders of the priesthood who have borne it among the children of men, is the simple and unpretentious Alma. comevisit.com /lds/bom-evid.htm   (7389 words)

Amazing Book of Mormon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Consequently, he says, it is impossible that the Book of Mormon could have been translated from the plates Joseph had, and he infers that the Prophet did not have any plates at all. New plates were made by Mormon on which he wrote, from the more ancient books, an abridged history of the nation, incorporating therewith many revelations, prophecies, the gospel, etc. These new plates were given to Moroni, to finish the history, and all the ancient plates Mormon deposited in Cumorah, about 384 years after Christ. In the Book of Mormon the Urim and Thummim is called the "interpreters." The Lord gave the two stones to the brother of Jared and commanded him to seal them up with his writings. www2.ida.net /graphics/shirtail/amazing.htm   (5078 words)

Amazon.com: The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ: Books: Joseph Smith Jr.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) According to Mormon belief, The Book of Mormon was inscribed on golden plates by generations of prophets, quoted and abridged by the prophet-historian Mormon, and buried in the ground by Mormon’s son, Moroni. The Book says that those who believe in Christ will believe in these words (the words of the Book of Mormon) because they are his words. It purports that the Book's immigrants to the Americas are the "principal ancstors of the American Indians." This is a complete fiction; American Indians are the descendants of immigrants from Northern Asia. www.amazon.com /Book-Mormon-Another-Testament-Christ/dp/038551316X   (2227 words)

2 Nephi Chapter 5 of the Book of Mormon -Metals I explain in my story that metallurgy in the Book of Mormon was one of the reasons I no longer believe the Book of Mormon to be a story of real people. Mormons could argue for slightly different numbers of people, but for the sake of the story it really does not matter.

Gary Rogers' Book of Mormon Movie To members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Book of Mormon is a sacred record of an ancient people who migrated from Jerusalem to the America's some 600 years before the birth of Christ.

Book of Mormon Critics - The Double Standard This is not particularly surprising given the fact that many of the critical comments leveled at the Book of Mormon apply just as easily to the Bible. This is not a problem to members of the LDS faith, since we believe that both books are the word of God, and that there are reasonable explanations for the anomalies in both books. So, here we have a situation where the Book of Mormon mentions measures of gold and silver, which might explain why anyone looking for evidence of coins might be disappointed. www.the-book-of-mormon.com /doublestandard.html   (1576 words)

THE BOOK OF MORMON - PLAIN - 1 Nephi I told my older brother Sam what the Lord had told me by His Holy Spirit, and Sam believed me. But Laman and Lemuel didn't believe me, and in my sorrow over their stubbornness, I prayed for them. Now when this book first went from the Jews to the Gentiles, it contained the fullness of the gospel, of which the twelve apostles testified in all truth. After this true, pure book went from the twelve apostles, or Jews, to the Gentiles, you saw the formation of that great, abominable church, which is the most abominable of all the churches. plainbookofmormon.com /1_Nephi.htm   (9758 words)
