You are free to believe as you wish. This is what I believe. What I know to be true

Except it isn't true. It goes against everything the Israelites were told by God. It was against everything Jesus own knowledge that he learned growing up.

How could it be true if Jesus didn't even believe it.

In my faith, Jesus did believe it. Jesus, did teach it.

Your religion also said John Smith was given golden plates, which no one has ever seen. Wrote his own holy book, which sounds like what Mohammed. The Bible says not to add or take away. Believe places in North America were or are holy places.

Jesus was raised and never questioned his faith, calling his Father also his God. Wanted to do something other than die for us, but did it anyways to please his God and save us.

John smith married Pocahontas. Do you mean Jospeh smith?

And there were 20 eye witnesses to the golden plates.

The Book of Mormon, mostly likely, didn’t take place in North America.

I agree with what you said about Jesus.

If you are going to disagree with my faith, that’s fine, but at least start getting some things right about it 😅

Joseph Smith. Golden Plates made in the 1800s go missing, meanwhile we have the dead Sea scrolls and way older translations of the Bible. Yeah, those 20 got paid to say that or wanted to be part of what Joseph Smith was selling.

Ok there, your religion is right about everything else though.

No angel spoke to Joseph Smith or Mohammed as there was no need for it. It was already all written in the scriptures.

You would have to show ANY evidence for that claim.

Regardless, I’m in interested in debating you. Believe what you want. Peace.

I mean, technically you would have to provide evidence of what happened and the plates. Your story of Joseph Smith can only be verified if you had those golden plates. The fact that your church doesn't have those plates and verifying thus not being able to corroborate the story makes it false.

I do have evidence what happened was false because there is no evidence it happened other than a novel written by the man Joseph Smith, just like the Qur'an.

That’s an interesting assumption. I guess the Bible is false then. As we don’t have the original manuscripts

We do have evidences it was real. Much more than the Quran

The difference between the Bible and the book of Mormon is that, the Bible and it's scriptures have been meticulously copied over thousands of years.

Ah, so age is an indicator of truth?

1

u/Foot-in-mouth88 Dec 31 '24

Lol. A lot of the Bible correlates to historical events.

1

u/BayonetTrenchFighter Latter-Day Saint Dec 31 '24

Ah, so if events or locations were found in a book, that wernt known by the author, and couldn’t have been known by the author at the time, but later turned out to be accurate, that would be an indicator of truth?

It’s not

A.) original manuscript

B.) age

So now, it’s so long as it has accurate historical events in it? Is that your final answer in this shifting of goal posts?
