A Different Christ
The Book of Mormon contains large amounts of Isaiah’s writings. In 2nd Nephi chapters 12-24 you’ll find a rewrite of Isaiah chapters 2-14. With the exception of Nephi inserting a thought of his own here and there this entire passage is identical to the KJV written in 1611.
Ask your Mormon friends how Nephi’s translation of Isaiah is so similar. How did Nephi’s writings translate into 1611 English when he lived circa 550 BC? If he was writing in Reformed Egyptian certainly there must be some variation in sentence structure, punctuation and words.
Why would it be exactly the same unless of course it was taken from the KJV Bible and not the golden plates?
Why didn’t the Lord have Joseph translate the Reformed Egyptian into nineteen century English instead of seventeenth century English? Certainly God keeps up with the times doesn’t He?
Matthew 24:23-24; “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
There are countless examples given by leaders of the Church telling people they worship a different Christ and here we have Jesus warning people of the dangers!
Bernard Brockbank from the Quorum of the Seventies publicly declared to Mormons and non-Mormons alike that the Jesus they worship is a different Christ.
Ensign, “The Living Christ”, May 1977; “It is true that many of the Christian churches worship a different Jesus Christ than is worshipped by the Mormons or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”
Please, if you’re LDS think about this scenario and the evidences presented! It just doesn’t get any clearer than this and here we have one of the many times where the Church has openly admitted the Jesus of Mormonism is not the Jesus of the Bible. My heart is deeply grieved just thinking of the implications of what’s to come on Judgment Day.
If you’re LDS ask yourself if this is acceptable to you and if not then what’s your next step?
