 March 22 — Ensign, “The Keystone of Our Religion”, January 1992 “Unlike the Bible, which passed through generations of copyists, translators, and corrupt religionists who tampered with the text, the Book of Mormon came from writer to reader in just one inspired step of translation.” — Ezra Taft Benson (more…)

March 18 — Discourses of Joseph Smith, p. 243 “What the Book of Mormon Is.

The Book of Mormon is a record of the forefathers of our western tribes of Indians; having been found through the ministration of an holy angel, and translated into our own language by the gift and power of God, after having been hid up in the earth for the last fourteen hundred years, containing the word of God which was delivered unto them.

By it we learn that our western tribes of Indians are descendants from that Joseph who was sold into Egypt, [Gen. 45:4] and that the land of America is a promised land unto them, and unto it all the tribes of Israel will come, with as many of the Gentiles as shall comply with the requisitions of the new covenant. (HC 1:315*.)” — Joseph Smith, January 4, 1833

‘But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.’ Galatians 1:8

 March 13 — 2 Nephi 3:3 “And now, Joseph, my last-born, whom I have brought out of the wilderness of mine afflictions, may the Lord bless thee forever, for thy seed shall not utterly be destroyed.” — c. BC 588-570 [emp. added] (more…)

 March 7 — Alma 42:5-6 “For behold, if Adam had put forth his hand immediately, and partaken of the tree of life, he would have lived forever, according to the word of God, having no space for repentance; yea, and also the word of God would have been void, and the great plan of salvation would have been frustrated. 6 But behold, it was appointed unto man to die—therefore, as they were cut off from the tree of life they should be cut off from the face of the earth—and man became lost forever, yea, they became fallen man.” (more…)

 March 4 — Today we’re looking at four accounts of how Joe Smith translated the BoM. Our sources come from Russell Nelson, David Whitmer, the LDS Church’s Gospel Topics, and Joseph Fielding Smith the 6th Prophet/President of the Church.

As you’ll see not everyone agreed… (more…)

Jude 4 “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

March 1 — Today we have a couple of thoughts about Joseph Smith’s BoM and the decision making of the LDS Church.

1.In 1981 the Church decided to change one word in one verse from 2nd Nephi. You’ll see it in the notes below.

It looked like a lame attempt to not come across as the racist organization they are.

2.Why would they change one word and ignore all the other racist verses?

We feel their behavior speaks for itself.

The verses listed below are a small example of the mess they’ve created.

Please pray for Mormons to see the problems in their scriptures. What Joe Smith wrote is definitely not from the Lord!

February 28 — A Marvelous Work and a Wonder, p. 69 “The bringing forth of the Book of Mormon is a “marvellous work and a wonder”. The wise men and prudent men of the world cannot account for it in any other way than the story told by Joseph Smith, and he did not get it, neither could he have gotten it, by reading the Bible only. He received it by revelation from the Lord through the Angel Moroni.” — LeGrand Richards (more…)

And many years pass away before he shall manifest himself in the flesh; wherefore, go to, thy faith hath made thee whole.” — c. BC 421 (more…)

 November 2 — The Seer, p. 215 “Questions and Answers On Doctrine…

Q. What does the Lord require of the people of the United States?
A. He requires them to repent of all their sins and embrace the message of salvation, contained in the Book of Mormon, and be baptized into THIS church, and prepare themselves for the coming of the Lord.
Q. What will be the consequence if they do not embrace the Book of Mormon as a divine revelation?

 Another proof the Book of Mormon can’t be a translation from the Nephites who died off circa 421 AD is found in the KJV.

Italicized words in the King James Bible were added by translators for the reader. As languages are translated from one to the other, filler words are sometimes needed because idioms and word meanings don’t translate directly.

Psalm 18:3 is a good example to see how the italicized words help to clear up any confusion: (more…)

Alma 38:8-9 “And it came to pass that I was three days and three nights in the most bitter pain and anguish of soul; and never, until I did cry out unto the Lord Jesus Christ for mercy, did I receive a remission of my sins. But behold, I did cry unto him and I did find peace to my soul. 9 And now, my son, I have told you this that ye may learn wisdom, that ye may learn of me that there is no other way or means whereby man can be saved, only in and through Christ. Behold, he is the life and the light of the world. Behold, he is the word of truth and righteousness.” — c. bc 73 (more…)

 January 23 — Selling the Book of Mormon Copyright. In 1829 Joseph Smith claimed God told him to send Hiram Page and Oliver Cowdery to Toronto, Canada to sell the copyright of the Book of Mormon.

Interestingly enough, their mission didn’t go the way Smith’s revelation said it would. Smith’s response to their ventures? (more…)
