SYNOPSIS:
The Book of Mormon claims to be "a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible." Both the Bible and the Book of Mormon declare themselves to be ancient, historical, and reliable rules of faith--the very word of God.
These claims have historically been taken on faith. But is there any evidence to support them one way or the other? Is it even possible to "test" a rule of faith? More to the point, is there any basis for placing one's faith in the Bible or the Book of Mormon?
It's an important question. It's an eternal question. This presentation puts the Bible and the Book of Mormon to the same tests. History, archaeology, textual criticism, and other disciplines combine to shed light on what is true...and what is false.
Truth never fears investigation. Faith need not--and should not--be blind. Discover for yourself which of these books is worthy of being called "scripture" and which is worth of your trust.
Participants: Thomas W. Murphy, William Wilson, Philip Lindholm, Philip Johnston, Peter Williams, Simon Gathercole, Gabriel Barkay, and others.

It is not correct to judge the correctness of a religion on prayer. 2equally sincere people can/do come to two differenct conclusions through prayer alone. U do not need to pray about what is clearly written. Exp: God said dont steal so u dont need to pray,"God, should I steal?" I dont need to pray about Mormonism because Mormons say u can become a god &God said no way Isa.43:10. Mormons say Jesus is the brother of Satan, the Bible says JC created Satan Col. 1:16. Believe what God already said.
TrueSaintsLDS, if you're a Christian, you may want to reconsider calling people "fools."
"But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." Matthew 5:22.
My only beaf on Mormonism is that they don't fully explain their beliefs to non-Mormons enough for people to understand their religion. Mormonism is the most misunderstood religion, I am more educated about Islam. if more Mormons educate us about their beliefs the easier it will be for others to understand them. But I don like Mormons because they are nice people, unlike Jews who are a bunch of pain in the asses.
You People are sign Seekers of the World, " WALK BY FAITH NIT BY SIGHT " i don't feel any Spirit from God with this video that convince me that what all you said is true, even if the Lord will give you million's of Sign still your Hearts are blind, so simple commandment to pray for the Lord if that Book of Mormon if true or not and yet you find hard to follow and that is Faith not by sight .
In the bible it says " walk by faith not by sight " i think you don't understand that! the way your video tried to teach us that you are looking for sign, therefore your religious group are sign seeker not faith seeker, walk by faith it means you yourself should find ways if the book of mormon is true then read it then pray if that book is true. that is so simple but its hard for you to follow, Sign Seeker!
*sigh* These people weren't looking for signs, they where just seeing if the book was historical. And it can't be. The Bible's historical. But the book of Mormon could take place in Narnia for all we know!' And yes, I prayed.
Read your bible. Sodom and Gomorrah were burned, not turned into salt. The only salt magic happened later on with Lot's wife, who was apparently ungodly for looking back. Lot, a righteous man, was not punished, but went on to commit righteous drunken incest with both his daughters. What an inspiring text.
Yes a manuscript is a copy.There were no printing presses in the 1st century. The earliest mss were written on papyrus.They wear out, they must be recopied over and over NOT EDITED NOT TRANSLATED OVER AND OVER.
Just 1 example ,Shakespeare's plays were written in the 17th century and have no surviving manuscripts yet nobody disputes that they are his writings.
With all the mss that are out there we can piece together the entire Bible except for a few verses. Its the same Bible now and b4
Psalm 16:10 "..because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay."
This prophecy written 1000 yrs before the event was the Promise that JESUS'S body would not be left to rot. But that he would rise.
The apostles who were alive to see him die would also see if he stayed dead. If he stayed dead why would they continue boldly preaching which eventually led to persecution and painful death? Its because they saw something. ...
Itachi1sama said, " The editing and translation that went on especially with the bible, left the finished product too tampered by humans .."
This type of talk is very funny and shows little knowledge about the subject. The New Testament was written in "Koine" Greek. Why? because in the 1st century this was the lingua franca of the eastern Mediterranean thanks to Alexander the Great.
Translating this language is no big deal. manuscripts are copies not edits or trranslations.
