So what? There's a long list of other regarded "prophets" by Book of Mormon characters who weren't (fully) inclusive about their fave-cited "prophets" either!
* The large plates of Nephi [reduced to an abridgement: 3 Nephi 5:8-17; Words of Mormon 1]
* The supposed "numerous plates" buried in a hill that the "prophet" Mormon didn't touch (Mormon 1:3-4)
* The unabridged version of Ether (Ether 1:1-5; Moroni 1:1)
* Zenock? (1 Nephi 19:10; Alma 34:7; Helaman 8:20; 3 Nephi 10:15-16)
* Neum? (1 Nephi 19:10)
* Zenos? (1 Nephi 19:10-17; Jacob 5:1; 6:1; Alma 33:3ff; Alma 34:7; Helaman 8:19; 15:11; 3 Nephi 10:15-16)
* Isaiah (70% of his stuff that was excluded from 2 Nephi)
* Malachi (50% of his stuff that was excluded from 3 Nephi)
I think I know the answer, but I'll ask it anyway: Why the selective targeting of those you regard as Scriptural kingpins? I mean, how convenient it is for you to let all of these Book of Mormon "prophets" off the hook of the same charges you level at others!!!
Please tell us: Where's your scrutiny to be leveled across the board (aimed equally to the Book of Mormon)?
**************
I need to give a sample explanation here so that others understand what's involved:
If the Mormon "prophets" knew that some of these sacred books of old would be at risk of becoming "lost"..."discarded"...etc. & hence need to be set apart for a future "restoration" via gold-plate face-in-the-hat methodology
(not sure what good a gold plate is when a hat works just as well :) ) ...
...well, surely that would include ALL of the book of Isaiah...
...and ALL of the book of Malachi!
(NOTE to NON-Mormons: You may not realize that one Book of Mormon book, before Joseph Smith really got rolling, cited 19 chapters directly ... King James word-for-King James word ... and the next Nephi chapter did the same thing with two chapters from the book of Malachi)
The prophet Isaiah lived 740-681 B.C. -- his death date perhaps being less than 100 years before the alleged dates of when 2 Nephi was supposedly written (588-570 B.C.)
It could very well be that Isaiah was highly regarded but that his work was yet to be fully recognized as an addition to sacred Scripture around the time of 588-570 B.C.
So perhaps Isaiah's work was at risk of being lost. Why did the 2 Nephi choose to throw out 47 chapters of Isaiah -- and only include 19 chapters word for word?
Why did the 3 Nephi only include two word-for-word chapters of the book of Malachi? Why did they toss out the rest?
It's very easy for Stormprepper to toss out these accusations, but then fail to aim similar questions at his own acknowledged sacred texts.
