Unfortunately, you've yet to prove your case that the Mormon writings are from God.
No man can prove the things of God. That's between the individual and God. Until someone says they have studied the Book of Mormon with an open mind, and prayed to God to know if it is true or not, his/her arguments that the Book of Mormon is made-up fiction from the mind of Joseph Smith, Jr. holds no water with me.
The fact that the Book of Mormon contradicts the original scriptures ... is enough for me.
Galatians 1:8 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.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
I agree with this. It is the contention of the LDS Church that we have the gospel taught by the Apostles. Heck, we have Apostles.
Yes ... that is their claim ... isn't it ?
But Adam,
I've done those things. I don't think the BOM is fiction...but I don't believe it is from God.
Actually ... the Mormons(christians)have an additional set of writings which we mainstream (christians) do not accept ... much like Jews don't accept the New Testament documents.
Let's change Mormons to Muslims...it's all the same thing and it is all about discernment.
Yes many of the Muslims are nice people (and should not be confused with terrorist) also as well as the children of God too, just like the Agnostics, Aethist, Judeo and of course mainstreamers,etc.!
Yes Muslims are/can be good people...but do you believe their writings are from God?

Yes, I know the story of Abram/Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac. What does that have to do with the Koran. Are you saying you believe the Koran to be the word of God?
I gather you don't know your Koran too well!
Because God said. How do you know it HAS?

To all you non-Mormons out there, this is a Mormon belief that Moses did not die, but was taken by the Lord into heaven in his glorified, exalted state.
There is pretty good evidence based upon the oldest text in existence, that there has been little change in text, and even less change in anything doctrinal in the New Testament.
The Old Testament has remained very pure thanks to the scribes of the Jews, and based upon evidence contained in the dead sea scrolls, and records found in Quamran...but I'm sure you know that story.
That was somewhat childish don't you think?
Thanks for your correction, translated: not exalted, yet not dead....a Mormon belief.
