Ensign, ‘A Book with a Promise,’ May 2008 “The Book of Mormon is a book with a purpose. From the title page we read that the Book of Mormon was ‘written by way of commandment’ and ‘by the spirit of prophecy and of revelation’ to ‘come forth by the gift and power of God’ to the convincing of each of us ‘that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God.’ In a personal expression of this purpose, Nephi, as one of the authors of the Book of Mormon, wrote, ‘The fulness of mine intent is that I may persuade men to come unto the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and be saved’ (1 Nephi 6:4).” — Craig C. Christensen
Galatians 1:8 “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.”
Mr. Christensen may have meant to sound truthful, but his message is filled with clanking cymbals.
It couldn’t have come forth through the God’s power, because God isn’t a God of confusion, nor can God lie! He wouldn’t have given us Galatians 1:6-9 and the BoM as well.
We also know it couldn’t have come from God because of the lie it tells on the front page Mr. Christensen tried to claim is truth.
Mormons do NOT believe that Jesus is ‘the Eternal God’. They do NOT believe in the Trinity, nor can their Jesus be eternal if he was created.
The only purpose of the BoM is to lead people away from Jesus, not to Him.
Be sure to ask the Mormon you know what they think of Mr. Christensen’s talk!

just trash and lies
The authors (prophets) of the BOM never existed. That is why so much of what is written in the BOM is false. Time and time again, historical and geographical narratives, printed in the BOM have proven to be false; Cement, horses, cattle, steel, chariots etc, not to mention the deaths of over two million soldiers in battle on the Hill Cumorah (New York) . I believe that God has had a hand in helping people (historians, archeologists, geologists, language experts etc) reveal the falsehoods in the BOM. God has shown the members of the church that the BOM is false and yet, many members refuse to accept what God has revealed and have chosen insead, to believe in the words of mortal men (Joe Smith, Oliver Cowdrey, Brigham Young, Parley Pratt, Presidens Kimbal, Monson, Nelson etc.Wake up, Mormons!! God, in His mercy, has revealed the truth to you about the BOM. God is giving you a chance to remove yourself from this false religion and to find the real Jesus Chrsit and HIS road to salvation.
Hi Howard Mcomber, Just to clarify…is it the BOM that’s “trash and lies”?Meaning, you agree with the author of this post; or the post itself is “trash and lies”? If it’s the latter, please.point out any and all lies, so they can be corrected. Looking forward to your response.
Well said Anonymous 🙂
I don’t know why I’m Anonymous.
Mormans don’t realize other ways to test the BOM . American Indians cannot be the lost tribes of Israel!! Genetics are easy to see.. Jewish people wore beards and the priest could not cut their beards. Indians and Asian people, (their ancestors) have very little facial hair and body hair. Opposite for the Jews. Horses in American came from Spain. Indians get their eye shape from the Asian lineage.The Isralites had many festivals that was very important, they would not have given all these up in a new land. Indians kept up the traditions of their ancestors.. If you think God mentioned he had a face, with eyes nose, etc.. in Psalms 91:4 God says he will cover you with his feathers, he will put you under his wing. He compares himself to an eagle and a lion. Does that make him a feathered being? The eagle is the king of the birds, the lion is the king of the animal kingdom.. He loved to show comparisons. God is a King, we are children of God. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of 1 Corinthins 15:50.
Amen! Thanks for commenting!
