Book of Mormon Critiqued

THE BOOK OF MORMON AND ITS PURPORTED ORIGIN IS FILLED WITH NONSENSE AND FRAUD

Joseph Smith, 1832 - “We were deprived of the bennifit of an education. Suffice it to say I was mearly instructed in reading writing and the ground rules of Arithmatic which constuted my whole literary acquirements.”

Webmaster Opinion: Joseph Smith could not have written much less read, translate, and dictate the Book of Mormon. Moreover, the Book of Mormon cannot be of divine origin due to over 4,000 changes in less than 200 years with no archeological evidence. In conclusion, the Book of Mormon was a combination of the 1769 edition of the King James Version of the Bible, a Solomon Spaulding manuscript as a story foundation, and Sidney Rigdon’s insertion of his Campbellite theological ideas.

Brigham Young’s Opinion: Should the Lord Almighty send an angel to rewrite the Bible, it would in many places be very different from what it now is. And I will even venture to say that if the Book of Mormon were now to be rewritten, in many instances it would materially differ from the present translation. According as people are willing to receive the things of God, so the heavens send forth their blessings. Journal of Discourses, Volume 9, page 311, July 13, 1862.

IRRATIONAL MORMON SCHOLAR CONCLUSIONS

1 Timothy 1:3-4 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia; remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine, nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.

Pro-Mormon historians have traditionally relied upon four arguments in dismissing the Spaulding Enigma: (1) that Solomon Spalding wrote only a single novel, Manuscript Story - Conneaut Creek; (2) that Doctor Hurlbut's hateful desire to destroy Joseph Smith and the Church renders his evidence hopelessly biased and unacceptable; (3) that Sidney Rigdon was not in Pittsburgh until 1822 and never had any connections with the print shops there; and (4) that Rigdon's first contact with Joseph Smith took place in late 1830, many months after The Book of Mormon had already been published.
