Ah the Book of Mormon a holy book presented to Joseph Smith who translated it from golden tablets with the help of god. It tells of the journey of the lost tribe of Israel to North America and how Jesus came to North America immediately after his resurrection in Jerusalem. Unlike the Bible which may be mistranslated, the Book of Mormon is perfectly translated through the miracle of god's help. And it says it is the word of god. Millions of people have found god and discovered the true path of Christianity by reading the Book of Mormon. They know it is the true because they have read Moroni and followed these simple directions.
Quote:Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts. And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.Moroni 10:3-5
Notice that the only requirement is that you ask god with a sincere heart. Of course if your heart is not sincere you might not get an answer and you should try again. Sound familiar? It should. But millions of Mormons know it works.
Sound circular? It is. Exactly as circular and in exactly the same way as Drich's A/S/K. And it has exactly the same support, a holy book that says this is true.
My question to you both, is what's the difference? And why don't you rush out to read the Book of Mormon?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
