It is also called an addition to the Bible, the Bible states there shall be no additions. It also is in conflict with the Bible.
BWS Wrote:When does it state there should be no additions to the Bible? In Revelation? And yet the Gospel of John was written after the Book of Revelation... Realize that the Bible was compiled and put in order by men, not by God. Just because there's a warning about adding to the words of Revelation, and that just happens to be the at the end of the Bible, why the fuck would you interpret it that way? The prophets of that day sure didn't think it meant that.
How do you know when the Book of John was written. How do you know when the Book of Revelation was written, no originals so an exact dating is impossible at this time. What prophets and exactly what did they think?
BWS Wrote:Plus the Book of Mormon was supposedly started in 600 B.C. which puts it way before the Book of Revelation on our known timeline.
Whaaaat! Where did you get that?
BWS Wrote:How do you know Joseph Smith was a conman? People get convicted all the time for things they didn't do...didn't Jesus get crucified for being the "King of the Jews"?
History records him and his dad as dishonest, dipping their fingers in things to deceive people for their money. They were run out of communities.
No, Jesus was crucified for being a threat to the religious rulers of the time, or so they thought.
BWS Wrote:As for historical records backing up the Book of Mormon, you obviously haven't sat down and chatted with Glenn Beck.
So, again, why do you not believe in the Book of Mormon?
You have my answer.

When traced back the Islamic religion comes from a moon god, that's why they use the moon with a star inside the crescent. It is also in conflict with the Bible.
BWS Wrote:The Bible is in conflict with itself.
That's your opinion, I find it very much in agreement with itself.
BWS Wrote:Plus, you just put Al-Quran in a nice little package, forgetting (or ignoring) everything else written in it except what it says about punishment. Why don't we call the Bible the Book on Israeli law?I mean, that's Leviticus and Deuteronomy are, but it's much more than that isn't it?
Punishment, the Quran is calls for the killing of Christians and anyone who disagree with it, you call that punishment. The entire Bible goes hand in hand, the Torah shows use that living by the law is impossible for man and the prophets shows use the further man moves away from the law the more terrible man becomes. This is to show our need for a savior. The Quran is in direct conflict with the Bible, it teaches that one must live by the law, and it's founder was a man known for the great number of murders on his hands.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
