If you studied the Book of Mormon, you would find that the reason they wrote in reformed Egyptian instead of the Hebrew they spoke in was because of the difficulty of engraving Hebrew characters on metal plate

And right there proves the BoM is a fraud.

I am fluent in Hebrew (even did a little work on the DSS) and in Egyptian (Hieroglyphs, demotic, and hieratic). Ancient Hebrew is MUCH easier to write (esp if incising it) than any of the forms of Egyptian.

Hebrew characters are far easier to write and in compact form than any logoform language.

You know I had 2 semesters of Hebrew years ago

I found it easy because it was like Pitman’s shorthand i learned in high school

and the concept was in a way the same

You learn the constanants and the dots etc for the vowels

and then you can just leave off the vowels for every day words that you recognize without the additions

if you follow my meaning..

And why would hebrews have written in a language that was not only not spoken or written in their time

But was a language of a pagan people who had enslaved them would not let them go

and did not respect their God or allow them to worship Him ???

It would be like the Moslems taking over the US Sharia Law and all and we decide that we will write it all down for future civilizations in “Reformed Persian” or Farsi instead of English

How good is your Farsi ???

Only an Abominable Apostate, such as yourself, would OMIT the FACT that it was written in REFORMED Egyptian!

Even though no sample is in evidence, the mere FACT that we have the beloved Book Of MORMON (PBUI) more than PROVES that JS was a prophet and a messenger of GOD!
