The Book of Mormon is one example of the Perverted Gospel that Apostle Paul attested. - by Jose Rodelio Retome Rata



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?

Why would he write it and then translate it? What's the sole purpose of rewriting text and then translating it later? Just to show off that he has some ancient writing and convince people to believe him? I don't think God would allow that, and faith doesn't work that way, Jose Rodelio Retome Rata. You see, Jose Rodelio Retome Rata, your religion doesn't require faith, it only requires popularity, we don't do that kind of nonsense acts, and in fact, there's nothing to prove your religion either that it was called of God. You simply try to react to things that you can't even provide on your own. I simply call it nonsense.

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 Version
3 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.

How do you know? How can you convince me that there's no such plate in spite of all the testimonies of witnesses? How can you prove that Jose Rodelio Retome Rata? And to throw back a question: How can you prove to us that Felix Manalo was called of God that he has a commission for his Philippine Religion? How can you convince us that God gave him authority to perform sacred ordinances such as Baptism and preach the Gospel? Do you have proof?

The truth is, the contents of the Book of Mormon were copied from the Bible and they made some changed of the gospel.

Just tell me the difference between copied and quoted? If you think it was copied, try to find an author of the book that made a statement without addressing or quoting the original author, who has a verbatim or word-for-word statement, in which we could simply say he made a statement that was already made by the authors in the bible. Can you find one?

The book of Mormon is one example of the perverted gospel that apostle Paul attested.
Galatians 1:6-9 - King James Version
6 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.

Again, and hopefully for the last time, Jose Rodelio Retome Rata, this is clearly a misconception of Paul's statement to the Galatians. He was addressing the issue of Judaizers who want to convert the Gentiles to the Law of Moses and pervert the Teaching of Christ, mixing it with their traditions. This has nothing to do with the Book of Mormon, and the Book of Mormon itself clearly states the teaching of the Gospel such as Baptism, Confirmation, Endurance, Discipleships, Covenants and etc. this is clearly the teachings of Christ and not a perverted Gospel that you teach like your INC church of the Philippines telling everyone that Felix Manalo is the Last Prophet of this days and that he was the ravenouse bird of the far east that will free the Jews from Babelonian Captivity. Not any of those stories was fulfilled by your Prophet Manalo, and he simply perverted the doctrine of Christ that he is just a mere human and not God. See how you made yourself kick against the pricks? So stop fooling around with your nonsense doctrine of man.
