@SpeckCipher There's references at ldsvideo.org, but to save you the time, most of the information comes from One Nation Under Gods by Richard Abanes.

@Sk8er408 No the Book of Mormon is a fairy tale because the stories in it are no true, thy're tales. The Bible is NOT God, and it is the source of truth because if we didn't have it we could then believe anything. Like the tablets John Smith was able to interpret (only him). What God speaks today has to match what is written. That's what I believe, you're free to believe anything you want, and since you are never satisfied with what I respond, I'll call it quits. Nice chatting, take care!

YOu do see the bible as a god when you make it your source of truth... or a medium for God. It is an idol for you.

I dont get your "deity blind-folded" comment.

Yes God gives us instructions by way of the Spirit. Why did God stop speaking audibly?

Why is the BoM a fairy tale? Is it because it has a talking ass?

@Sk8er408 Ok, then, the Aztec feathered serpent is god, wait, why not choose Mary to be god (or goddess)...well maybe Allah, or Brahma or whatever we choose. I don't see the Bible as a God, you're interpreting that as such just because you choose to believe in a deity blind-folded. God is NOT like that, he gives you the instructions to follow, if we didn't have instructions, He would speak audibly to us like he did in the past. The book of Mormon is a fairy tale with no place in God's world.

@gospelnews123

I think this is classic idol worship. You have made a book, ink and paper the basis of your faith instead of God above.

I've yet to see anyone show me without a double standard that the BoM is not = to the Bible.

What is not reliable about the BoM?

@Sk8er408 Hahaha, why would I flag you? These debates help me research more even to my own benefit, I'm not taking things personal.

I bet it was you... but looks like you've been marked too.

@Sk8er408 Someone had flagged you as spam, some people take debates personal!!!

@Sk8er408 The issue of "faith" has to be applied to it, but not a faith in something that isn't clear, like for example, Native American religions that believed in the "great pirit" or souls of the dead, etc. I believe the spiritual world is real, and the Bible is, yes, a history Book, but it's something greater that that. So my faith isn't blind because I have something to rely on. So, faith on something reliable. The book of Mormon is fantasy, not = to the Bible, that's their error.
