I am curious whether the resident Mormons think that this accurately states the Mormon belief structure.
Now I understand that they do not necessarily see the pronouncements of all of their 'authorities' as scriptural and are therefore free to later modify them or disown them, but I would think that the direct quotes from the 'book of Mormon' or their other books would be difficult to disown -- and they are pretty dicey as quoted.
As a lawyer, I regard these as statements of 'fact'. Later we can argue on the significance of these statements, but the first querstion is "Are these 'factual' statements conceded to be true?" So I am truly interested whether the resident Mormons agree that the positions attributed to Mormons above are accurate.
Moreover, if they are not, how does the Mormon church explain the cited evidenciary support to another end?
They don't disown their roots--they change them and then deny they ever existed. The Book of Mormon has been changed numerous times (someone counted over 2000 changes). Copies of the original are exceedingly rare since they have been called in and destroyed. There is one in the Bancroft Library at UC, Berkeley. There is also an original Book of Commandments there as well as copies of the early Times and Seasons which contained many "Thus sayeth the Lord" commandments. (My information on this is 30 years old so may have changed).
