Did Joseph Smith write himself into Mormon scripture in order to convince people he was a prophet?
It’s apparent that these scriptural passages came through one man. And it’s the same man who is the object of those prophecies – Joseph Smith.
Doesn’t that seem self-serving and arrogant of Joseph Smith to write himself into the narrative of what is called Mormon scripture?
The Book of Mormon had three “witnesses” who signed their names claiming to have heard the voice of God, seen an angel and even seen the Gold Plates.
And before their deaths, all three of them – Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, and Martin Harris renounced Mormonism and were condemned as reprobates by the Mormon Church.
Is there archaeological evidence for the Book of Mormon. Gold Plates or historical evidences that prove that civilizations existed.
The Book of Mormon claims to have a parallel timeline with the Bible.
But, when put to the test, does it hold true?
Let’s look at the historical evidence.
Find out how Sabbath-keeping is a matter of spiritual freedom – not a command from God.
Does God have the power to preserve His eternal word as stated in the Book of Mormon? Or, is the Book of Mormon contradicting itself?
Latter-day Saints believe the Apostles were killed and there was no one with authority capable of preserving the church. Therefore, they believe Jesus failed in His promise to preserve His church and His written word.
LDS believers will argue that if you get a burning in the bosom or a special feeling when reading the Book of Mormon, that this feeling is conformation that the Book of Mormon is true?
Should we trust our feeling? What does the Bible say about this?
Is there a difference between the Jesus of Mormonism and the Jesus of Biblical Christianity? Even the LDS leaders admit that the Mormon Jesus is a different Jesus than the Jesus of traditional Christianity.
Mormon temple activity is not ancient. Mormons are free to enjoy the
benefits of their temple activity, but these ‘temples’ are not a restoration.
