Why the Book of Mormon cannot be accepted as genuine Scripture: - TopicsExpress



          

Why the Book of Mormon cannot be accepted as genuine Scripture: The teenaged “prophet” Joseph Smith supposedly translated it from gold plates which are said to be left by an angel Moroni before Americas pre-colombus discovery. These plates have conveniently vanished. It is remarkable, therefore, that some passages of this book quote word for word not just from the Bible, but from a specific translation of the Bible—the KJV. If the book were genuinely inspired, one might expect it to include the same material. But for the wording to be identical to a specific English translation, when the OT was in Hebrew and the Book of Mormon supposedly in some other language, is beyond coincidence—for example, compare Isaiah 53:5 from the KJV with Mosiah 14:5. Even the (noninspired) verse divisions are identical, proving that the Book of Mormon, far from translating God’s words from gold plates, is, in fact, just made up while using direct copies from books such as the KJV Bible.
