Видео

I am not sure how much good it verified info this guy used. I watched this and first thought it was great but I read A View of the Hebrews after watching this and I think the guy that made this video hasn't. I was hoping to read for myself the plagiarism to have some ammo but honestly, this video has false info. Maybe I missed some things but I didn't see any mention of Jesus coming to America, the urim and thummin, the twelve chapters of Isaiah, the wars between the tribes, among many others. I would love to see those specific examples of plagiarism referenced so I can go back and reread them. All I saw, and it's a big deal, is a book that gives an argument for the American Indians being the lost tribes of Israel. That is something a lot of people thought, talked about and wrote about. I also see the connection through Oliver Cowdery, this book and Joseph Smith, again, significant and also damning. But I think the claim that this book has all those similarities is well overstated.

Noooooo, Joseph Smith was NOT a horny scam artist!!!! 😭😭😭

I love Tad's whispering form of speech to try to come across as soft and sincere.

Wow! I grew up mormon. We quit the church when my mom went back to school and focussed on anthropology of the Southwest. We quit shortly after. I became an atheist but never really dove into the history of mormonism. I just knew it was false. As I've gotten older I've become more interested in the history of christianity and now mormonism. This is startling. It's probably the most significant YT video I've ever seen. It's a smoking gun. Thank you for putting it together.

Wait.. you really compared being in a religion to being a drug addict? I mean I get what you're trying to say there but that's a terrible analogy. I was born in Utah in Mormonism. And I've also at age 40 had lifelong struggles with substance addiction, am an active member of AA. They are nothing alike. Whatsoever. Idk what you were thinking with that hahah

Joseph conman Smith was NOT related Ethan Smith. Did you just pull that part out of your ars?

this absolutely bogus. any one who has done research knows this guy is lying.

Great information! Haven't heard a lot of these points, loved the way you put this together. 👍

The BoM is a phenomenal work. And, unfortunately, one of the greatest literary works to condemn the LDS church. (see D&C 84)

There simply is no evidence that Joseph Smith (or Sidney Rigdon) ever read either of these two works. Besides neither has any real connections or similarities to the Book of Mormon anyway. Certainly not anymore than the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. "Many academics, most notably author Christopher Booker, believe there are only seven basic narrative plots in all of storytelling - frameworks that are recycled again and again in fiction but populated by different settings, characters, and conflicts." So that's as far as any similarities go.

HAHAHA THESE GUYS ARE DELETING THE POSTS OF LDS SCHOLARS.

DEVASTATING!!

The concept of a righteous 'White' race, being wiped out by the 'indians' was a view that was widespread because of the discovery of many burial mounds, of which Joseph mistook the 'hill Cumorah' for. (its just a hill) Dewitt Clinton in his 1811 speech to the New York historical society said regarding the mounds, "The erection of such prodigious works must have been the result of labor, far beyond the patience and perseverance of our Indians ; and the form and materials arc entirely different from those which they are known to make" and many others said similar things, so its not as if any of these authors was coming up with a truly original idea. They were just adding different narratives into an existing hypothesis. The whole idea behind it was an attempt to justify them ransacking and stealing from the indigenous folk by making it 'Righteous'. Throughout history, it's the same pattern. You can 'justify' all kinds of atrocities if you convince people you have God on your side.

Outstanding. Then you should have no problem debunking this Is The Book of Mormon True? Was Joseph Smith a Prophet?

The church still says that we need to study the bible and book of Mornon all the time.

IF YOU READ THE BOOK OF MORMON IN HEBREW YOU WILL CLEARLY SEE THAT IT IS BETTER IN HEBREW THAN IN ENGLISH. THUS IT IS AN ANCIENT BOOK NOT A MODERN INVENTION.

You have rehearsed well known similarities between the Book of Mormon and other contemporaneous sources. It shows that Smith drew upon other materials. So what. That’s not the point of the book. You have not addressed the merit of the book’s interpretation of the gospel of Christ. That is the point.

The Book of Mormon was never plagiarized from other books. Any honest investigation will confirm this.

Salty much?

its easy for an outsider to look at the LDS faith and see how incredibly absurd it is, but when you are brought up in the church, the mental pressure to accept it is tremendous and these people stuck in this church are an unfortunately bunch. living in Utah, i can see a strong community of neighbors, but empty vessels as parents. Mormon parents are afraid to make friends outside of the church. they are afraid to laugh at jokes. They are very pleasant until the white shirts come to your house and are rejected. then you wont hear from them. If you are not Mormon, they keep you at arms length.

Where was the Pre-existence in the BoM?

Some of the plagiarism websites quote in this video are no longer available, any updates on them?

You talk about facts. I can prove the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints is true, and all other religions that claim Christ as their Messiah are of the devil. We start with one knowledge that is key to understanding the Bible and it's teachings. I have asked this question to most of the major Christian churches headquarters, and although many responded none of them knew or got it right. 1) what will a person be made of in heaven? This is going to take awhile, but if you really want to know the truth, as you say, you'll hang in there with me.

Judgement Day is coming for you.

Listening to him is like listening to a old Chinese communist brainwashing speech .

Ironically all religions think they are the ONLY true religion. They can't all be right though...Perhaps none of them are true. If you read the Bible and only the Bible, that alone should open your eyes and make you question the teachings and practices of the Mormon church (and most religions).

This is just plain silly. If this is all you can come up with you need to leave this to the grownups.

Nope. Lehi and Nephi are (according to multiple gathered affidavits) in Manuscript Found are Hebrews. They are not mentioned in the (allegedly written earlier but incomplete) Manuscript Story about Romans coming to America.

Another thing. Seeing all the many books you listed that could have been used to plagerize, how om earth could JS or RIGDON have read all those books in a short time and then use certain parts to make the BM?? I question the BM but good grief! To have put the BM together with all those other parts of books would have taken at least 2 years. And putting it into Hebrew Chiasm's like the BM would take a smart person in Hebrew language. 🤔🥺😳😬

Yes i always thought there were some strange things. But a Biggg question is how did J.S. know how to write in Hebrew Chiasm's?? See there's more confusion just with that question. BM. Is written in Hebrew Chiasm form. I never hear that question being addressed! Why??

Who is this speaking?

Joseph did have help in writing the Book of Mormon: he had many sources available to him and his 9 different first vision accounts show Joseph did have some kind of spiritual help by angels of light ( Satan or his fallen angels) who Joseph thought were the Father and Son. Just a second Muhammad and Book(s) starting a new religion that Satan started in the 7th century ! One to counterfeit Judaism/ Christianity in the middle East and one to counterfeit Protestantism in the US. Great video!

Nobody can disprove the Book of Mormon because it is true. Anyone who says the Book of Mormon is false, I will give him or her a challenge: write a book comparable to the Book of Mormon. You will fail miserably.

Long ago I read about " The Mountain Meadow Massacre" , and later read a book about the" Morman Murders" ( Hoffman). What an incredibly blood thirsty coveting group of religious terrorists ! Please keep them from my door.

Great content, do you have some other channel with content? Your two videos are only scratching the surface of all the lies the mormon church has been telling us for more than a century.

As an ordained elder in an evangelical denomination, I would like to correct Elder Callister. If I were asked, "How do I know the Bible is true?" the LAST thing I would say is that I know it is true because of my feelings, impressions or personal testimony. These things, all of which I have PROVE NOTHING. The producer of this video is quite correct in stating that many other religions can make such claims. So what would I say? I would say that I know it is true because of the hard evidence for it that is completely absent in the case of the Book of Mormon. Evidence from archaeology, Jewish and pagan sources all support the NT text. The Dead Sea Scrolls provide a great deal of evidence supporting the OT text. Much evidence from science supports a Biblical view, starting with Gen. 1:1 and the big bang. There are countless stories of people who set out to disprove the Bible, but were convinced by the mountains of hard evidence - CS Lewis being but one example. When dialoguing with a seeker, I would never tell them to read the Bible, pray about it, and on that basis alone decide if it were true. I would point them to the evidence. This is something my Mormon friends (yes, I have Mormon friends) cannot do.

The book of Mormon and the Bible share this quality. They're both plagiarized. Cover to cover.

Joseph Smith is a false prophet and a fraud. The Book of Mormon is false doctrine. Emma Smith tried to poison Joseph Smith when he suggested plural marriage.

If you had actually have read the "View of the Hebrews" you would see very little resemblance to the BOM. Just the premise that Joseph Smith used 13+ other books to write the BOM disproves your video. Why not more, if there are 50 or 100 then it certainly will be similar to the BOM. Just the thought that he used that many different sources and still the BOM has connection and timeline to it is ridiculous. People just repeat these statements as truth when they most likely do not actually read these other documents.

I will not waste my time

President Ballard held privately Appendix 1, begins at page 587, and Appendix 2, begins at page 638, of: "Without Disclosing My True Identity; The Authorized and Official Biography of the Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. PDF"

Another sorry attempt to disprove the Book of Mormon. When are you guys going to stop rehashing the same tired and debunked claims that have been floating around around for decades or longer. Just answer the question, who wrote the Book of Mormon? You can't even get that one right. Admit it, you have no answer. The Book of Mormon is the word of God.

Yep Platgariism. Joseph Smith was a Con man 😢😢. A Necromancer. He stated the Golden plates were taken back up to Heaven after translation. Yeah right absolute Nonsense. I went to this Church years ago. I left after 2 years. They were trying to control my life. Uggh. I have other friends that left the Church also

well very done thank you

Smack down??? Nope I thought your presentation would have something new or revelatory in it that I haven't heard before. That book is exactly what it claims to be.

It seemed to me -: that the good book was sliced & diced with great earnestness - just my feeling.

Man Made

the book of mormon is boring.

I was LDS for many years but rarely read the BOM It seemed like a bad imitation of the Bible and the repetition of And it Came to Pass hundreds of time is annoying

After !eaving the church I read the Bible 3 times and keep on studying it.Learning the truth after years of deception. They destroyed me!
