Author Description

Why are so many verses in the Book of Mormon taken from the King James Bible? For example, verses from the Book of Isaiah are found all throughout this book. One argument for this, is that Lehi and his family left Jerusalem 100 years after Isaiah died, so they could have his writings. This would make sense if the writings were on scrolls, but instead they are on plates of brass. The Isaiah Scrolls were discovered among the Dead Sea scrolls. According to the findings, people were writing on scrolls and not brass plates. So to say that the Book of Isaiah was written down on plates makes you wonder if Mormons ever heard of the Dead Sea scrolls. We have evidence that this book and other old writings were recorded on ancient scrolls and stored in various types of jars. Therefore, it doesn't make sense to have the Book of Isaiah written on brass plates. And what about the golden plates for the Book of Mormon? If Bible authors wrote on plates, then where is the evidence? Have golden plates ever been found with writings from people of old? The answer is no. The amount of plagiarism found in the Book of Mormon is startling. It includes 20 chapters from Isaiah, along with many other chapters and verses from the Bible. I'm referring to passages in the Bible that were written many years after this supposed group of people departed from Jerusalem to sail to America. For example, writings from Paul and John are found, even though were not born yet. This includes writings from Jesus and before His birth. Those who read the Book of Mormon may not know that Bible chapters and verses are scattered throughout, but it is true nonetheless. Joseph Smith added a lot of content from the Bible to make the Book of Mormon sound more Biblical. You will see this as you read this book. I've included a reference guide with chapters and verses plagiarized from the Bible in the Book of Mormon. Along with this content, you will see the dates of the associated Bible and Book of Mormon verses
