The Book of Mormon is placed in the courtroom of scrutiny, with the Bible as the source of truth. Each individual verse in the Book of Mormon is effectively put on trial. The Bible serves as the frame of reference for the trial at hand. This is very important, as we do not want to be led astray through a fictional book that is said to be scripture. In saying this, I have compared the verses in the Book of Mormon with the Bible and found that many verses disagree with the Biblical text. Instead of the two books complimenting each other, we see them contradicting one another in many ways. An in-depth analysis of the Book of Mormon shows issues that cannot be denied. As you traverse through the chapters of this book, the problems in the Book of Mormon will be readily seen. These disparities come to life, seeing what the Bible actually teaches.
As we read each chapter, it will become increasingly apparent that there are theological issues in the Book of Mormon. In fact, we see that it contradicts the Bible and hardly ever compliments its different viewpoints. There are even teachings found in the Book of Mormon that Christians would believe in, but LDS people would not. These verses are also mentioned in detail when compared to the core doctrines in Mormonism. Despite the Book of Mormon being hailed as Another Testament of Jesus Christ, it is seen as the opposite. False teachings and practices are seen at every glance. This causes a person to form false beliefs based on what the books says. This book's claim of being a sacred scripture or God's Word comes under serious question. Therefore, a word of caution would be advisable against placing blind faith in the Book of Mormon.
I've seen too many people put their trust in the Book of Mormon just because they were brought up to believe it. So let me be the first to say that our church upbringing could be wrong. For this reason, people need to come to Jesus and allow Him to be the Lord of their lives. Then, will they appreciate what He said in the Bible, along with the teachings in general. As we put our trust in God, the Bible will become our firm foundation. This is the place where our beliefs will come from. So when looking at the Book of Mormon, we know if what it says is true based on the Biblical text. I am saying this to people who are already LDS. Those who are not, please don't go down the path of reading the Book of Mormon. You will get enough of it in this book. I show enough evidence that demonstrates the Book of Mormon is not of God and how we should not trust it. Amen.
