I'm not trying to be rude or anything with the following question, and would like to ask that we take a mature, loving and humble tone on this thread.
The Book of Mormon can only be judged by the standard of the Bible.
Please clarify this "standard".
I have found nothing in the Book of Mormon that discredits the Bible, but only things that support and prove the truths in the Bible. What have you found contrary to this when you read the Book of Mormon?

I believe it is in Romans, where Paul tells us that every word of God is pure and every man a liar. So this is the standard set forth in the first century by Paul. Not the 19th Century when the Book of Mormon was written -- or in the case of Islam --- the 5th Century (when the Koran was written).
I have already pointed out numerous inconsistencies with Mormonism and the Bible.
The Bible, again, says that we cannot add to the Word of God.
The Bible also says we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our Testimony. And we overcome --- by overcoming our sin nature by the power of the Holy Spirit.
So, how does, for instance, wearing holy underwear, align with the Bible? And why didn't the disciples have to wear those things?

What have you found contrary to this when you read the Book of Mormon?Nothing. This person's big gripe is that Mormonism doesn't follow his or her idea of what "true" Christianity is, as defined by his or herself (talk about taking authority unto yourself). I'm guessing this person also loves to lay into Catholics. It's time to exercise a little self-discipline and disengage from the conversation. The heart is hard as flint with pride, and the mind closed tighter than a steel trap.
