Read for yourself the sources that some claim is the inspiration of the Book of Mormon.
If anything, if is really interesting reading.

Are you really LDS?

[prophetofdoom]

I have been seeing a pattern in your posts. They have a lot of anti-mormon undertones to them.

View of the Hebrews again? I've seen this so many times it's annoying. Not to mention it shows lack of knowledge of history. It's already been proven the Book of Mormon was not a copy of View of the Hebrews.

"If such may have been the fact, that a part of the Ten Tribes came over to America, in the way we have supposed, leaving the cold regions of Assareth behind them in quest of a milder climate, it would be natural to look for tokens of the presence of Jews of some sort, along countries adjacent to the Atlantic. In order to this, we shall here make an extract from an able work: written exclusively on the subject of the Ten Tribes having come from Asia by the way of Bherings Strait, by the Rev. Ethan Smith, Pultney, Vt., who relates as follows: "Joseph Merrick, Esq., a highly respectable character in the church at Pittsfield, gave the following account: That in 1815, he was leveling some ground under and near an old wood shed, standing on a place of his, situated on (Indian Hill)... [Joseph then discusses the supposed phylacteries found among Amerindians, citing View of the Hebrews p. 220, 223.]"
If Joseph Smith plagiarized from View of the Hebrews why would he quote from the book? That makes no sense.

This was the inspiration for the Book of Mormon: Moroni told Joseph where the Golden Plates were and he would be the one to translate them by the power of God.

I have a copy of the View of the Hebrews. I was underwhelmed when I read through it.
