....There is no other book in all this world that tells us as clearly about the mission of Jesus Christ as does the Book of Mormon.

Do you believe someone removed something fromt the New Testament? And....
Well I had ponder many of these things in the Bible as a child that had puzzled me until I found was introduced to the Book of Mormon at the age of 38 and the rest fell into place!
If so, who (or what group) removed the "plain and precious" truths.
Opposition!
Eph 6
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
2 Cor. 4
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
So are you saying that the "opposition," darkness, or Satan had a hand in the compiling of the Bible?
Do you see where many of us Bible believing Christians might take offense at that suggestion?
What some Mormons may fail to appreciate is the deep offensiveness of their implication that Christians have something less than the full gospel of God. But mainstream Christians react, not by getting offended, but by demonstrating what they believe from the Bible, which inevitably involves showing the Mormons the differences between Biblical doctrine and Mormon doctrine. This seems to be the point at which we hear the Mormons complain that they are being slandered, that we evangelicals, Catholics, or other Christians are preaching "negativism" and marshalling a "negative onslaught" against them.
