Yes, I believe this a true book from the mouth of God to prophets here in the Americas. Who are we to say that God cant or wouldnt talk to people in the ancient Americas? And if God talks to them, shouldnt they write what he speaks? If they write what he speaks shouldnt we have it as well, to go along with other books(such as the bible)as well? How is it that men always believe that God is all powerful and all knowing and can do anything, yet when they're told that he spoke to the people here in the ancient Americas, they say no, he didnt, or he wouldnt or he couldnt?

Yes, but I've also been studying it for about 22 years. It helps to come at it from a Jewish perspective, and it helps to read commentaries on the subject from scriptural scholars. I like reading W. Cleon Skousen "Treasures from the Book of Mormon" and Hugh Nibley's books like "Lehi in the Desert" on the subject. Studying it out slowly to ponder it first, then praying about it, will help a sincere reader get an answer for himself or herself. I don't know why people think Jesus Christ or God cannot keep talking to prophets in another land. If you have two witnesses of Jesus Christ, you have a much stronger position when testifying to those around you. Have a happy day.

Yes... absolutely! I testify to you that the Book of Mormon is a true work of God.

I also know that it is true and of God. However, God's opinion is the only one that is truly important in this matter. Why don't you ask him in prayer about what He thinks of the Book of Mormon?

If it is of God, how significant is that?
It would change everything! That would mean that God speaks again to prophets in our day just like he did in the old and new testament. Something of that magnitude shouldn't be left to a "popularity contest" to determine.
Read it yourself, and ask God what is his. Only God deserves to answer this question.

The bible began to be written about 5 thousand years ago, and concluded in the first century A.D. The mormons, former polygamists until modern censorship made them (on the surface) change thier ways. Arn't they called the L.D.S. now? The book of mormon was written, and tailor made to suit the men, as really the bible is. The mans "holy grail" so to speak, by which, they reign, and rule.

Nah, it can't be. there are too many contradictions between it and the Bible. God is not a God of confusion and that church has quite a bit of the same.

I think that many books take on the active role of being someone's god, but I don't believe that the divine being that is responsible for creation is a book . . . and if it were, it wouldn't be that book.

No. No evidence to support it. It contradicts the canon of scripture. It falls under the curse of "a different gospel" in Galatians.
