Hmm. I wonder if he read this upside down as well?

(From Wikipedia)

KJV AS A SOURCE FOR THE BOOK OF MORMON

The KJV is seen as a significant source for the Book of Mormon among those who reject the miraculous origin theory. The Mormon faith, however, states that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ’s divinity, and that the Bible and BOM together accomplish this purpose. Which would explain their defense that the BOM naturally is similar and even sometimes the same as the Bible.

QUOTATION OF KJV BIBLE IN THE BOOK OF MORMON

The Book of Mormon explicitly quotes the prophet Isaiah. It contains 19 chapters of the KJV of Isaiah in their entirety, along with parts of a few other chapters.[10] In total, approximately 30 percent of the Book of Isaiah is quoted in the Book of Mormon (one source counts 478 verses in the Book of Mormon which are quoted from Isaiah).[11]

The Book of Mormon also quotes from the KJV of other books.

1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-7 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

MORONI And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

The Book of Mormon contains a version of the Sermon on the Mount, which some authors have claimed to be “the Achilles heel of the Book of Mormon.”[5]

One author makes the point that certain portions of the Greek manuscripts of Matthew 5–7 do not agree with the KJV of the text, and concludes that the Book of Mormon version of the sermon should not contain text similar to the KJV.[12]


The Book of Mormon plagiarizes from the Bible.

Interesting.
