Latin in the Book of Mormon
2 Nephi 24:12; “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! Art thou cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations!”
Isaiah 14:12; “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!”
Well Smith had a few issues with this one!
1. Why did Joseph Smith plagiarize Isaiah?
2. Why did Joseph Smith tell people there was no Greek or Latin on the golden plates when in fact it was loaded with them? Lucifer is Latin for morning star (Venus).
3. Why did Joseph Smith plagiarize the Bible when he went out of his way to denounce it so?
4. What purpose does putting all these chapters of Isaiah into the BoM serve for the Mormon?
5. The Hebrew word for Lucifer is heòyleòl.
6. How is this going to help people like my mother?
