Here we are in one of the Fun Fact that Jose Rodelio Retome Rata*** and thinking this has something to do about contradictions and of course, was it found in the Book of Mormon?
BOOK OF MORMON VS BOOK OF MORMON!
Abraham 4:3-53 And they (the Gods) said: Let there be light; and there was light.4 And they (the Gods) comprehended the light, for it was bright; and they divided the light, or caused it to be divided, from the darkness.5 And the Gods called the light Day, and the darkness they called Night. And it came to pass that from the evening until morning they called night; and from the morning until the evening they called day; and this was the first, or the beginning, of that which they called day and night.

Moses 1:66 And I have a work for thee, Moses, my son; and thou art in the similitude of mine Only Begotten; and mine Only Begotten is and shall be the Savior, for he is full of grace and truth; but there is no God beside me, and all things are present with me, for I know them all.Moses 2:3-53 And I, God, said: Let there be light; and there was light.4 And I, God, saw the light; and that light was good. And I, God, divided the light from the darkness.5 And I, God, called the light Day; and the darkness, I called Night; and this I did by the word of my power, and it was done as I spake; and the evening and the morning were the first day.
First of all, the Book of Mormon did not start with the seven (7) days creation that this Jose Rodelio Retome Rata*** wasn't aware about. This were not written in the Book of Mormon but rather in the Pearl of Great Price. This alone proves that he is brainless and only cherry-picks some stuff that he never study or understood the context.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. - Genesis 1:1
What's the actual Hebrew words that was written on it, Jose Rodelio Retome Rata? To help you out on the answer to that question in which you don't know about, Jose Rodelio Retome Rata, let's post it here -
בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
The word אֱלֹהִ֑ים (Elohim) was addressed as plural or in a plural form. Though most trinitarian suggest that this has something to do with the trinity, The Latter-day Saints view is different. And take note, the word הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם (heavens) was also in plural form. So what was this all about in LDS Theology? The use of the plural form is not related to the doctrine of the Trinity, cause LDS doesn't believe that; this Plurality simply understood as the council of God as stated in Psalm 82. The Monotheistic view states that this council were simple called judges, which is a direct contradiction of Christ statement (on John 10:34-36) addressing the Jews about his existence with the Father, and eventually one of the very reasons that leads to his crucifixion. So, the question would be; was Joseph Smith right in directly using the plural word of the translation of the Book of Abraham? He does, in a sense that they were compose of Councils of heavenly beings. So, obviously, Jose Rodelio Retome Rata, is clueless of his criticism about the usage of the word.
