Book: Book Of Mormon ContradictionsPublished: December 18, 2023Pages: 187 (Kindle), 185 (Paperback)
Introduction
The Book of Mormon is placed in the courtroom of scrutiny, with the Bible as the source of truth. Each individual verse in the Book of Mormon is effectively put on trial. The Bible serves as the frame of reference for the trial at hand. This is very important, as we do not want to be led astray through a fictional book that is said to be scripture. In saying this, I have compared the verses in the Book of Mormon with the Bible and found that many verses disagree with the Biblical text. Instead of the two books complimenting each other, we see them contradicting one another in many ways. An in-depth analysis of the Book of Mormon shows issues that cannot be denied. As you traverse through the chapters of this book, the problems in the Book of Mormon will be readily seen. These disparities come to life, seeing what the Bible actually teaches.

Introduction
Why are so many verses in the Book of Mormon taken from the King James Bible? For example, verses from the Book of Isaiah are found all throughout this book. One argument for this, is that Lehi and his family left Jerusalem 100 years after Isaiah died, so they could have his writings. This would make sense if the writings were on scrolls, but instead they are on plates of brass. The Isaiah Scrolls were discovered among the Dead Sea scrolls. According to the findings, people were writing on scrolls and not brass plates. So to say that the Book of Isaiah was written down on plates makes you wonder if Mormons ever heard of the Dead Sea scrolls. We have evidence that this book and other old writings were recorded on ancient scrolls and stored in various types of jars. Therefore, it doesn’t make sense to have the Book of Isaiah written on brass plates. And what about the golden plates for the Book of Mormon?

Introduction
A Bible translation from an ancient manuscript is acceptable if the person is led by God. This means that he or she understands both languages also. Those who rewrite an already translated Bible are not led by God. Any paraphrased version of a translated Biblical text should be thrown out and not read. One such version of the Bible is the Joseph Smith Translation. This is where Joseph Smith used the King James Bible to write his own translation. It is written, “Joseph Smith, the first prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, made a “new translation” of the Bible, using the text of the King James Version (KJV). This work differs from the KJV in at least 3,410 verses and consists of additions, deletions, rearrangements, and other alterations that cause it to vary not only from the KJV but from other biblical texts.” (Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, JST)
