Mormon Dilemma 173

Book of Mormon: Language of the Book of Mormon

Discourses of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pg 244; “The error I speak of is the definition of the word Mormon. It has been stated that this word was derived from the Greek word mormo. This is not the case. There was no Greek or Latin upon the plates from which I, through the grace of the Lord, translated the Book of Mormon. Let the language of the book speak for itself.”

Proverbs 19:9; “A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish”.

My volunteers and I spent several months collecting evidence to publish a document on the Greek and Latin words in the Book of Mormon. At the end of our research we counted 7, 354 Greek and/or Latin words in the Book of Mormon. We’ve provided a chart of the words, the number of times each appears as well as the location of the word. http://lifeafterministry.com/2011/07/04/book-of-mormon-greek-latin-word-chart/

Once again Smith has proven himself to be a false prophet – Deuteronomy 18:20-22.
