Matthew 8:26 “And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.”
Not only does the Book of Mormon contain anachronistic problems along with its plagiarism issues, we also see contradictions within its own text. Sometimes the Book of Mormon will tell you it’s completely trustworthy and at other times, not so much.

I’d never thought of our Bible verse today in light of the Mormon’s faith, or the lack thereof. That was until I read Oswald Chambers devotional for August 12th. Chambers mentioned we should all rest in the Lord (how true!), and resting in Him includes doing so even during the stormy times in life.

When push comes to shove, we all have a major decision in life to make. Do we instinctively fall back on our heritage and culture, in which we were raised? Or do we brave the storm by resting in Him, even if our decisions will cause the ship to overturn? Many times when we make a major change, expecting an overturned boat, we find our decision caused it to turn upright, not knowing the mess we had been in all along.
Nowhere in the Bible do we see the ambiguity we read about in the Book of Mormon! God’s word encourages study, discernment, and proving it for your life.
However, as our text today says, Jesus also expected us to trust and rest in Him. If you’re LDS, how do you trust the canon Joe Smith said was from God, when it blatantly says it isn’t always true?

Galatians 1:6-8; “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 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.”
Exodus 20:3; “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
Isaiah 31:1; “Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!”
Today we’re taking a quick look at historical facts regarding the Bible and the Book of Mormon. From the General Authorities in Salt Lake City, to the missionaries knocking on our doors, we hear the same story all the time.

“A thorough understanding of the Bible is better than a college education.” – Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States
“It would be more consistent to call it the work of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.” – Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason
Throughout history, one can find a number of opinions on God’s Word, both negative and positive. The two quotes listed above serve as classic examples of how divisive His truth has been.
Today we’re comparing the duties of a biblical scribe to an account of how Joseph Smith translated, and transcribed, the Golden Plates in preparation for the Book of Mormon.
We retrieved info on the biblical protocol from a number of sources, two of which will be listed here as points of reference. In light of this, there’ve been many papers and essays written on, and about, the transcribing process for the Book of Mormon, but questions quickly surfaced upon our discovery of Mr. Maxwell’s explanation.
We’re wondering why members of the Church choose to accept the obvious run-around their leaders offer on such serious matters!
Mr. Maxwell emphatically and unapologetically, stated that Smith ‘did not intend’ to tell the world how the BoM came to be, and therefore, they weren’t able and/or willing, to disclose his methodology either.
Why is this man above the laws of God? Why is it okay for him to act autonomously without the benefit of accountability?

1 Peter 1:25; “But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”
The other day, Melissa noted in an article how the Church said the Book of Mormon was meant for people living now. This reminded me of a few comments made by past LDS leaders who didn’t give the Bible the same credit, so we have a few questions in light of their warnings!
Take a quick look at what Joe Smith and Orson Hyde said about God’s word –
Joseph Smith, The Choice Seer, p. 25; “We have no right, he explained, to lay claim to promises made to another people in another time. – Joseph Smith

Matthew 24:23 “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.”
Journal of Discourses 16:55-56; “On the 24th page, speaking of the coming forth of these records, the angel said to Nephi, “The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel; and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy Prophets; and it is a record like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many.” That is, there are not so many prophecies and revelations contained in the Jewish Bible of our day as there were upon the plates of brass. Nevertheless they contained the covenants of the Lord, which he has made with the House of Israel; therefore they are of great worth unto the children of men.” – Orson Pratt, Ogden, Utah, May 18, 1873
