Archaeological Proof for the Book of Mormon?

"The honest in heart, who feel that the true Kingdom of God ought to have special and powerful credentials, and not just be another voice in the crowd, will not go away disappointed from an examination of the claims and evidences of the Book of Mormon." -Hugh W. Nibley

Thoughtful insights from 32 top scholars continue the journey into the Book of Mormon's thousand-year span, aiding understanding of this sacred text. Mormon's description of the land, religious history, culture, and traditions create a fascinating mosaic. Stunningly beautiful images filmed on location in Guatemala and Mexico combined with the art of Joseph Brickey illuminate the rich culture of the Book of Mormon.

We invite all people everywhere to read the Book of Mormon, to ponder in their hearts the message it contains, and then to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if the book is true. Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost.

So no archaeological proof for the Book of Mormon just feelings right? is that what was said here? So if you feel that your doctor is good then you should trust him to operate on you right? No need for any proof or evedance just feelings? yet this is how you will base your salvation on? FEELINGS!

So, "the comparisons look very good", do they?? Well, how about conducting archaeological excavations that will confirm these findings?? The geography, anthropology, agronomy, zoology, metallurgy, and numismatic evidences all agree with the historicity of The Bible; yet with The Book of Mormon, all we get are excuses and quasi-evidences that LDS apparently has no intention of scrutinizing in further depth.

@THELDSLIFE Oh no I agree with you, we need to listen to God with our heart too. The holy spirit speaks to us through our spirits, but we also need to study. We were given the Bible and I know that LDS dont believe it is completely trustworthy, but I will listen to it because it is Gods word, and the BOM contradicts what the Bible says. I will follow Jesus before I follow a religion/church. God said his word is to be used to know of truth and to point out the false.

[THELDSLIFE]

@drummaryan - there's nothing wrong with ones heart being pricked or moved towards doing that which is right and not knowing the way or what comes next. Whether it be 2 men walking with the resurrected Lord and feeling that heart within them burn or be it those at the day of Pentacost when ALL felt of the burning fire of the Holy Ghost, it is the way that God confirms his goodness among men. Furthermore, do as suggested by the admonishment of Paul If there be anything good or praiseworthy, seek!

[THELDSLIFE]

This is only the beginning.

Dont use your brain use your heart..... Even though the bible says mans heart is wicked.

@ZorroTech88 The question here is not one of "faith", but one of "truth". Truth welcomes objective analysis and critical scrutiny. The Book of Mormon fails those measures miserably.

Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidences in order to be viewed as having any credibility. The so-called "evidences" you propose have yet to be scrutinized, authenticated, or tied to BoM by independent, unbiased experts. "Curious hieroglyphics" by me means substantiates anything in BoM.

my head hurts. 3000 sites/ no evidence? Wasn't the final scene in the BofM up in upper state NY? Lota miles in between.

[ZorroTech88]

@bheadh OK I will b careful thanks, but my "religion" can take care of itself...One final question, if the vast majority of Christianity say jumped off a bridge, would u? One final point, Moses was not a very good man, he was raised by pegan slavers, and went along with it till he found out he was one of slaves, then murdered in cold blood, but God used him anyway, God uses imperfect men 2 deliver his messages in the past present and future. We probably agree on that even if we dont on which men

[ZorroTech88]

@bheadh I have to say you are very convincing...I believe that God, my heavenly Father, has many sons and daughters, however not all will return to him, I do believe that Jesus was Gods only begotten Son, and if in fact he was born of a virgin, then wouldnt that make him "created" by God? just a thought, but if you are thinking of Jesus before he was born on this earth, dont you believe he was God before, So how can he have been his son at the same time? You dont have to answer I allready know

[bheadh]

@ZorroTech88 You "BE CAREFUL"! about Your "religion"! (I call it a cult, so do most other Christians) The vast majority of Christianity doesn't consider "mormonism" Christianity. You, the SDAs and a couple others,were made up by MEN. Not very good men, as explained in the last post.

[bheadh]

@ZorroTech88 That was MOSES in the Old Testament, not some charlatan from the 19th century. By the way it's "archaeology". So I tend to believe what was ALREADY in the bible, not what was reported by a known charlatan, womanizer, and public drunkard (as reported in newspapers at the time EVERYWHERE HE WENT). Christianity is a Trinitarian religion, no matter what you people think. Yes, you do believe Jesus was satans "brother". Satan was God's CREATION. God only has one SON. Satan wasn't born.
