Now Let check out some new study from our indigenous friend Jose Rodelio Retome Rata. And see what new lesson we can get from his study. Let's dive in -
The first author of the Book of Mormon is the prophet Nephi, who left Jerusalem with his family in about 600 B.C. and sailed to the Americas. Nephi passed the record to his younger brother Jacob, who gave it to his son Enos. Each author always gave the record to someone they trusted.
“They should be kept and handed down from one generation to another, and be kept and preserved by the hand of the Lord until they should go forth unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people.” - Alma 37:4
Why is it called the Book of Mormon?
After hundreds of years, the record was given to Mormon, who was both a prophet and military leader. Mormon condensed all the writings into one volume, engraved on thin sheets of metal. He titled it the Book of Mormon. Before he died, Mormon passed the plates to his son Moroni. Moroni added a few words, then buried the plates.
Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon
In 1823, Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith as an angel and told him where the plates were buried. Joseph Smith translated the plates into English by the gift and power of God, and the Book of Mormon was published in Palmyra, New York, in 1830.Since that time, this sacred volume has been translated into more than 100 languages, and over 150 million copies have appeared in print.
This is just actually a copied article from https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe/book-of-mormon/who-wrote-the-book-of-mormon. and to think there's something on it to criticized and I don't know what's in his mind why he is quoting it?
According to this, Mormon condensed all the writings into one volume and passed it on to Moroni.So, the said plates were compiled in one volume that Joseph Smith translated it into English.If this is true why Joseph Smith did not rewriting the original text then translate it into English so that there is no doubt of the authenticity of the Book of Mormon?
The truth is there was no such thing as there were plates, it was only a made up story of Joseph Smith and his so-called witnesses.2 Timothy 4:3-4 - King James Version3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
The truth is, the contents of the Book of Mormon were copied from the Bible and they made some changed of the gospel.
The book of Mormon is one example of the perverted gospel that apostle Paul attested.Galatians 1:6-9 - King James Version6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
