The Book of Mormon mormon.org is another testament of Jesus Christ and serves as a companion scripture to The Holy Bible lds.org . It draws people nearer to God.

The Book of Mormon does indeed contain the fullness of the gospel, but that doesn’t mean it contains every doctrine or policy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. By “fullness of the gospel,” we mean the Book of Mormon contains every basic and fundamental doctrine needed for salvation, such as the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

There has been punctuation edits and chapters and verses have been added. The original manuscript was purely text with not punctuation. Spelling errors were corrected as well. If you know about how printing presses worked in 1830 you can imagine how errors would occur in that process that would have been corrected later. The footnotes are also not a part of the original 1830 version – the footnotes help to cross link doctrines to the Bible and within the Book of Mormon. Does that help?

Si tuviese que dar un regalo a alguien muy querido le regalaría un libro de Mormón,porque tengo la convicción personal, después de haberlo leído muchas veces y haber puesto en practica sus enseñanzas, que no hay sobre la tierra un libro que lo acerque mas a Jesucristo que éste libro y Sabiendo que dependemos de Jesucristo para nuestra salvación, es entonces el mejor regalo que podemos dar a quienes amamos de veras…éste libro es palabra de Dios y yo lo se y saberlo me trae gozo y esperanza.

Why couldn’t God get the any holy texts right the first time?

Faith. The answer to your posts is faith. If you believe the Bible is the word of God then you must have faith- there’s a lot more criticism out there about the Bible than there is the BoM. I understand that the Bible has been much more widely published, subjecting it to more criticism. I’m just pointing out that there is by no means a universal consensus on the authenticity of the Bible. Read Proverbs 2:5-7. Isaiah 55:8,9. And finally 2 Nephi 9:28-29. It’s about faith- not logic.

Why are there so many changes have been made in the Book of Mormon,ever since 1830? I’ll be grateful if any Mormons can give me an answer.

I know this will not be approved but come on! Don’t really need DnC and PoGP to cover the missing points if the Book of Mormon ~”contains the fullness of the gospel”~

I’m glad you believe “every word”, but “we” don’t: “We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly” – Articles of Faith #8;

I invite you and anyone else to meet with LDS(mormon) Missionaries. They can answer questions like this for you. They will help you understand why this all happened and you to can pray to know if what they share is true. God can’t lie, you can pray to him and ask Him if it is true.

(continued #3)
I understand why anyone would be critical of all of this. I would be, but I have prayed and asked God if the Book of Mormon is true. I asked Him if Joseph Smith was a true prophet and if the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is His true church upon the earth. I didn’t get an answer right away but one day as I heard a mormon teenager bare his testimony that HE knew that those things were true, I felt the Holy Spirit confirm to me that they are. I know they are.

(continued #2) He had it prepared to restore truths that were lost because of the death of Christ’s Apostles, the falling and splitting of Christ’s true church(this happened because without the Apostles there was no one to receive revelation for the WHOLE church) With the Book of Mormon and the call for Joseph Smith to be a prophet Christ’s church was restored with 12 Apostles at the foundation.

(continued) God knew that everyone in the last days would interpret the Bible differently. Of course He would have loved for everyone to accept Christ’s Church and His Apostles instead of rejecting His church and killing His Apostles but since the beginning God has given man his agency. He doesn’t force anyone to do anything. He gives them commandments and its our choice whether to follow them or not. The Book of Mormon was prepared for the last days to restore truths that were lost.

God gives man his free agency. God prepared the Book of Mormon because He knew that Christ would be rejected and that Christ’s Apostles would be killed after Christ was. God knew that Christ’s church was going to fall with the death of the Apostles and split into all the churches you see today. He knew all of that and so he had the book of mormon written anciently to use as an instrument to restore his church when his children were ready.
