@T00KAH The Quran holds truth as do other sacred texts (Holy Bible, Dead Sea Scrolls). But there are true points that are missing from these texts. The Book of Mormon along with the Doctrine & Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price cover these missing points. Take Hollands advice here and pray about. That's what the rest of the world is doing. There is a reason that the LDS church is one of the fastest growing church's in the world. Pray, If it is true then God will let you know :)

To others who have commented: we do believe in the bible, every word of it, and we also believe in the book of Mormon. They are meant to be together. They are two puzzle pieces to truth that fit perfectly. I challenge all who are reading this to read and study the book of Mormon for a couple weeks at least. Pray about it, you will get an answer if you have faith and are living the teachings found in the book of Mormon.

@ulula97 There has been punctuation edits and chapters and verses have been added. The original manuscript was purely text with not punctuation. Spelling errors were corrected as well. If you know about how printing presses worked in 1830 you can imagine how errors would occur in that process that would have been corrected later. The footnotes are also not a part of the original 1830 version - the footnotes help to cross link doctrines to the Bible and within the Book of Mormon. Does that help?

Si tuviese que dar un regalo a alguien muy querido le regalaría un libro de Mormón,porque tengo la convicción personal, después de haberlo leído muchas veces y haber puesto en practica sus enseñanzas, que no hay sobre la tierra un libro que lo acerque mas a Jesucristo que éste libro y Sabiendo que dependemos de Jesucristo para nuestra salvación, es entonces el mejor regalo que podemos dar a quienes amamos de veras...éste libro es palabra de Dios y yo lo se y saberlo me trae gozo y esperanza.

@elgar104 Faith. The answer to your posts is faith. If you believe the Bible is the word of God then you must have faith- there's a lot more criticism out there about the Bible than there is the BoM. I understand that the Bible has been much more widely published, subjecting it to more criticism. I'm just pointing out that there is by no means a universal consensus on the authenticity of the Bible. Read Proverbs 2:5-7. Isaiah 55:8,9. And finally 2 Nephi 9:28-29. It's about faith- not logic.

So Joesph Smith found ancient writings intended for the Biblical story and translated them in to a book for people to read? I always thought God visited him or something like the Burning bush with Mosses. So the Book of Mormon is About Jesus Actually being here in America is this during the part of his life that did not make the Canon Bible? I found Claims of Christ visiting all around the World Hindus Buddhist even the Druids of Ancient Brittan

@cuddlebunny297 Do you Believe in The Creation of this Earth?

[ulula97]

Why are there so many changes have been made in the Book of Mormon,ever since 1830? I'll be grateful if any Mormons can give me an answer.

@JerryStud1 I know this will not be approved but come on! Don't really need DnC and PoGP to cover the missing points if the Book of Mormon ~"contains the fullness of the gospel"~

@kortneyboo1 I'm glad you believe "every word", but "we" don't: "We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly" - Articles of Faith #8;
