THE
BOOK OF MORMON

AN ACCOUNT WRITTEN BY
THE HAND OF MORMON
UPON PLATES
TAKEN FROM THE PLATES OF NEPHI

1 Wherefore, it is an abridgment of the record of the people of Nephi, and also of the Lamanites—Written to the Lamanites, who are a remnant of the house of Israel; and also to Jew and Gentile—Written by way of commandment, and also by the spirit of prophecy and of revelation—Written and sealed up, and hid up unto the Lord, that they might not be destroyed—To come forth by the gift and power of God unto the interpretation thereof—Sealed by the hand of Moroni, and hid up unto the Lord, to come forth in due time by way of the Gentile—The interpretation thereof by the gift of God.
2 An abridgment taken from the Book of Ether also, which is a record of the people of Jared, who were scattered at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people, when they were building a tower to get to heaven—Which is to show unto the remnant of the House of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers; and that they may know the covenants of the Lord, that they are not cast off forever—And also to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that JESUS is the CHRIST, the ETERNAL GOD, manifesting himself unto all nations—And now, if there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God, that ye may be found spotless at the judgment--seat of Christ.

[Adria1431]

Thanks for your video I have been a member my whole life and there isn't a more true church then this I am pleased with this video, because your are doing Gods work, and I know that there isn't a better book on the earth then the Book of Mormon, and I know that the Book of Mormon is another Testoment of Chirst, and I know that those who doubt that Joseph was a profit or that Jesus is the Mesiah, those are the the people that need to read this book. Their is a part 2 to this message.

@Adria1431 Thank you for your comments and testimony.

[brainouty]

Are you allowed to reorder your videos so we can watch them in order you present? It's hard to tell until you get to the actual books which order one should follow in viewing. Thanks.

[thrond]

Thanks for the question. This video series includes the preliminary material in the order it is presented in the current (1981) edition of the Book of Mormon. The Title Page is normally put first, and has been included in every edition of the Book of Mormon (along with the testimonies of witnesses). The Title Page actually comes from the plates from which the Book of Mormon was translated. Other material (such as the introduction, prepared for the 1981 edition) were included later.

Part 2

All the LDS people must take heed into teaching the none bielevers and that is exactly what you are doing with this video. Thankyou brother for posting this video.

Keep the faith

[SuperRaphael777]

The Lord in his infinite wisdom knew that by the frailties of mankind and by the wickedness of some men to decieve for gainsake etc, that some of the books of value to scripture would be lost or corrupted over time and so prepared a way for the gospel to be taught, preached and recorded in another location for posterities' sake.

[SuperRaphael777]

?A question for non-mormons commenting on this video and this gentlemans channel in general?

(By the way I am a mormon and i love the holy bible, esp the book of Matthew) My question to you non-Mormon Christians is" Can you state how many books it is deemed are missing from the current cannon of text that we call the bible, that if we had them they would undoubtedly be part of the cannon we all love so much?"

[healthnbeauty1]

That was nice. It was relaxing. You have a great reading voice too.

[VictorLepanto]

You ask me, Tolkien wrote way better fantasy literature then Joe Smith did.

[MrJohnnyrace]

You mean the book of morons

[underpantssquirrel]

You see, the big problem with this is that Joseph Smith called himself the author, instead of translator, in the 1830 editions.

[buireolbg]

I believe Joseph Smith chose the word MORMON because it is so similar to MORON. He considered his believers MORONS (which he rightfully should). He had about 50 wives didn't he? He was an excellent con artist. May he rot in jahannam
