That Book was Either Written by God or the Devil
<< Elder Tad R. Callister
"That book was either written by God or the devil...there is no middle ground. It is either the word of God as professed, or it is a total fraud."
"It claims to be the word of god--every sentence, every verse, every page. Joseph Smith declared that an angel of God directed him to gold plates, which contained the writings of prophets in ancient America, and that he translated those plates by divine powers. If that story is true, then the Book of Mormon is holy scripture, just as it professes to be:
if not, it is a sophisticated but, nonetheless, diabolical hoax."
"...the Book of Mormon...is either of God or the devil.
There is no other option."
"But why is the Book of Mormon so essential if we already have the Bible to teach us about Jesus Christ?
Have you ever wondered why there are so many Christian churches in the world today when they obtain their doctrines from essentially the same Bible? If they interpreted it the same, they would be the same church. This is not a condition the Lord desires, for the Apostle Paul declared that there is "... one Lord, one faith, one baptism," (Ephesians 4:5) to help bring this oneness about the Lord established a divine law of witnesses. Paul taught, "in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established". (2 Corinthians 13:1)
The Bible is one witness of Jesus Christ; the Book of Mormon is another. Why is this second witness so crucial? The following illustration may Help..."
