The Book of Mormon is a controversial book, with many believing it was written by Joseph Smith, Jr., and that the Bible is the only scripture ever written. This is not true, as the Bible testifies to the existence of other written scriptures, specifically a second scripture written about the tribe of Joseph (Ezekiel 37:19). This Joseph saved Egypt and all of the tribes of Israel from the seven-year war.

The Book of Mormon was written by highly educated people with a solid foundation in Hebrew traditions and literary styles that no American in the 1800s was aware of. Joseph Smith could not have written it due to his lack of knowledge and education, but more and more of it is confirmed to be right.

“Biblical and Non-Biblical Evidences For The Book of Mormon: That Show Its Validity As Scripture: A Layman’s Thesis” was begun by the direction of the Holy Spirit and written to the entire body of Christ. Some might ask why they should read. Some will read it to try to refute it; others will read it to learn and still, others will use it to further their own agendas.

However, you should read it and pray over it, asking God through His Holy Spirit to give you a witness as to its validity. Satan has been using the “divide and conquer” strategy to keep us from uniting against him. It is time for us to put aside our differences and work together for the salvation of humanity. We can do this with God’s help through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
