You ever read the Book of Mormon? It's a virtual carbon-copy of the writing style and type of content of the Bible - and yet you say IT'S Man-made! Two things that are so alike must have a similar origin... How come "God's" book looks so much like a book written by a man, hmm...

1. God inspired the Bible, so he is the author. He just used human hands to physically pen the text.
2. The Book of Mormon is not virtually a carbon copy of the Bible! There are so many differences and those differences are huge!

I have read the Book of Mormon and I am not a Mormon. The writing style is quite different and actually harder to understand. The writing style of the BOM is actually following a longer line of works - beginning with James MacPherson and the Ossian Chronicles.

It seems to me that the Book of Mormon has added words to the original Bible that was God-inspired. I don't know how true the things are in their book but I know the Bible is the truth. It's prophecies are coming true and it has facts in it that nobody else in the world knew about at the time. There are also hidden codes in the Bible that spell out names and events that are happening today.

Ripping off something that is genuine doesn't discredit the original. If you were credited with inventing the Widget, then I made one just like it, does it mean that you're not the original inventor? Of course not.
Besides, the Bible and book of mormon are nothing alike, except they both have ink on paper. Beyond that, they have little in common.

LMAO.
The book of Mormon was written hundreds of years after the bible was compiled. It's an easy style to mimic. Hell, I could write my own bible right now, and who's to say it's fake? Joesph Smith SAID that he wrote (sorry, translated it, yeah right) it by looking at plates with stones, for crying out loud. Nice try though.

Because the Mormons began in 1820 and had a Bible to copy. Have you ever read the Koran? Same thing. Satan is a copy-cat!
Satan even has a trinity - Himself, the antichrist and the false prophet.
Satan is a copy-cat! He wants to be like the Most High God.

If you actually understand the Christian religion, the different books inside the bible were written by some of the prophets in the bible. God chose people he wanted to write his word. If you don't believe it it's fine, but you don't have to tell Christians or others how to believe in what they believe in.

actually, you are incorrect. the bible was written by men. moses, joshua, samuel, and so on all wrote the bible.
and people don't believe in a holy text because of the writing style.
