WARNING - This is a long one. :o) My girlfreind is LDS and we have talked about the book of mormon on several occassions. When we discuss inconsistancies when compared to the bible, she says that although she loves her religion deeply, she cannot answer my questions. I am not trying to argue with her, but I do have some questions and comments. The first is this... in GAL 5:7 it says "...some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ." and in GAL 5:8 it says "...even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!" Here are my questions... The book of mormom preaches in it introduction two things that causes me distress: 1) Joseph Smith relates that the angel Moroni came to him several times in a dream (in one night) and passed on information concerning the gold plates to him. Moroni is the earthly son of a man named Mormom (after which the religion is named after) and after he died, became an angel of God; and 2) Joseph Smith (in the introducation) also relates that the book of mormon is the most correct of any book on earth and that man would get nearer to God by abiding to it rather than any other book. These two things cause me to reject the book of mormon almost immediately. The fact that a man dies and becomes and angel and that the book of mormon is the only book that will get you close to God (over the bible even). Am I alone in seeing this or am I being over reactive or misreading the information in some way? I would appreciate any responses. |
