The difference is that the Book of Mormon was compiled by a prophet with specific instruction from God as to what it should contain.

First, there is no reason to believe your Prophet when he lies to his own congregation regarding the number of his wives. At the time of this following quote, Smith had at least a dozen wives, acknowledged by your own religion:

"...What a thing it is for a man to be accused of committing adultery, and having seven wives, when I can only find one. I am the same man, and as innocent as I was fourteen years ago; and I can prove them all perjurers." (History of the Church, vol 6, p. 411)

Next, but more importantly, as this alone proves your prophet to be a liar: your prophet openly contradicts the holy scripture by creating many gods when there is only one:

"Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any" (Isa 44:8).

Your prophet also denies salvation sola fide, sola gracia, asserting that salvation is given as a result of our merits, when this also is explicitly ruled out by the scripture:

Rom 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Rom 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. Rom 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Can you explain why we should believe your Prophet when he is a liar, a polytheist, and a teacher of works-righteousness?
