Oh, sure Monkey Face Mormon one...let's compare the Old Testament and your "Another Testament" (the Book of Mormon) for a moment:
Let’s look first at the supposed story of the Book of Mormon formation, shall we? and see how “similar” it is to the Bible.
Let’s assume, just for the moment, that Smith’s Book of Mormon account was “true”; let me get this straight: We get BoM records, supposedly, from generations beginning with
Lehi…
..to the first Nephi and Jacob…
…to Enos…
…to Jarom…
…to Omni…
…to Amaron and Chemish…
…to Abinadom…
…to Ameleki…
…to Benjamin, who also gets it from the first Mosiah…
…to the second Mosiah…
…to the second Alma, who also gets it from the first Alma,
…to the first Helaman…
…to Shiblon, who gives it to the second Helaman…
…to the second Nephi…
…to the third Nephi…
…to the 4th guy named Nephi…(three generations of Jewish leaders naming their son the same name?)…
…to the 1st Amos…
…to the 2nd Amos – before 200 A.D. , who gives it to Ammaron and the 2nd Mormon, whose dad was also named Mormon…
…to Moroni…
…and Moroni, about 400 years after Christ, finishes up the gold plate record and buries it in the ground. But before he finishes the book by the name of his dad, Mormon, he writes:
And now, behold, we have written this record according to our knowledge, in the characters which are called among us the reformed Egyptian, being handed down and altered by us, according to our manner of speech. And if our plates had been sufficiently large we should have written in Hebrew; but the Hebrew hath been altered by us also; and if we could have written in Hebrew, behold, ye would have had no imperfections in our record. (Mormon 9:32-33)
Moroni and his “dad” Mormon were the main Book of Mormon books’ compilers. Then, supposedly 4th-century A.D. (Bible-wise), Nehemiah’s been most identified in this way – Nehemiah being 4th-century B.C.:
13 5 Besides these things, it is also told in the records and in Nehemiah's Memoirs how he collected the books about the kings, the writings of the prophets and of David, and the royal letters about sacred offerings. 14 In like manner Judas also collected for us the books that had been scattered because of the war, and we now have them in our possession. (2 Maccabees 2:13-14) http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/2maccabees/2maccabees2.htm#v13
At around the same time, Ezra apparently brought into Nehemiah's possession the Law/Pentateuch: 1 all the people assembled as one man in the square before the Water Gate. They told Ezra the scribe to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded for Israel. 2 So on the first day of the seventh month Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, which was made up of men and women and all who were able to understand. (Nehemiah 8:1-2)
Comparison #1: Would the Old Testament writers have used ‘Reformed Egyptian’ and concluded their writings were ‘imperfect’ like Moroni did?
Now tell us, “Bible scholar” Monkey Face…how “true” were it to strike you if the one most identified as the later compiler of the Old Testament, Nehemiah, wrote the following as he was finishing the book of Nehemiah:
And now, behold, we have written this record according to our knowledge, in the characters which are called among us the reformed Egyptian, being handed down and altered by us, according to our manner of speech. And if our plates had been sufficiently large we should have written in Hebrew; but the Hebrew hath been altered by us also; and if we could have written in Hebrew, behold, ye would have had no imperfections in our record. (Mormon 9:32-33)
Tell us, Monkey Face, how much weight would have Bible scholars and theologians given someone like Nehemiah if…
…(a) he admitted to “imperfections” in the writings???…
…(b) Or had he used an adapted language of his known enemies?
Don’t you think, Monkey Face, that the conclusion would have been that somebody wrote something under the pseudonym of Nehemiah (for acceptance purposes), something Gnostics and others were later known to do?
No logic, just grasping at straws to validate an argument only the anit-Mormons want to have with everyone they come in contact with.
*sheesh*
Wasted bandwidth. You can’t control everyone in the world and force them to your way of thinking, which is what you’re trying to do every time you find “fresh meat.”
