The following is a clip in it's entirety in FAIRs response to the anti-Mormon video "The Bible vs. The Book of Mormon". Shorter clips have been previously posted on the FAIR Youtube site. Places such as Nahom and Bountiful.
In this clip, scholars discuss Temples and The Book of Mormon. Critics claim that there could be no Temples built outside of Jerusalem, yet we find several authentic Jewish Temples built in other places. The issue of Priesthood is also discussed.

Really enjoyed this video. Sometimes we read the Old Testament and the Book of Mormon as if there was only the Aaronic Order of priesthood in operation. However, Joseph F. Smith and others pointed out that Moses held the Melchizedek priesthood as did Lehi and the Nephites.

He said it would be unthinkable that Jews of Today would have a temple outside of Jerusalem. They dont even have a temple inside of Jerusalem.
