Mormons, If the book of Mormon is true, why hasn’t a VALID geography been established for the book?

Question

If the book of Mormon is true, why hasn’t a VALID geography been established for the book?

like a true life map other then the land they bought in N.Y.

Did the events in the Book of Mormon even really happen on this earth?

Answer 1

cause the book of mormon is joseph smiths made up fairytale.

Answer 2

The real question is if the Book of Mormon isnt true how did Joseph Smith accurately describe a route through from Jerusalem through Arabia, including accurate names and descriptions of locations, when there were no maps of these little known areas at the time?

How did Joseph accurately describe geographic conditions during the crucifiction of the Savior?

How did Joseph include Hebrew poetry that was not even disocovered in the Bible until decades later? Including restoring portions of Isaiah where said poetry existed that was not found in the modern tranlations of Isaiah.

How did Joseph convince 12 men who testify to seeing the plates and an angel to their dying day despite disputes with several of them?

How did Joseph place doctrine in the Book of Mormon that was lost to Christianity at the time which has since through recent discovers of ancient Christian texts been validated such as the pre mortal life?

How many concidence does Joseph have to nail before his work is taken seriously and people actually humble themselves before God and find out from Him that its true?

Answer 3

The Book of Mormon does not have to be true, it's a 'wonderful' book despite it's nefarious origins. You don't need archaeological proof of the nephites or lamanites simply because the spirit will tell you it's true. This same spirit can also tell you go go jump off a cliff, simply because it's true.

The distorted nonsense that apologists attempt to offer in support of this priceless (worthless) tome cannot offer any solid and undisputed evidence of any large civilization as described by ALL the prophets. Indeed, the apologists have actually become anti-mormon in their defense by trying to make science fit fantasy. They are promoting false doctrine that is easily discredited by both the church teachings and real life.

There are many great works devoted to the teachings of early christians. The Book of Mormon is not one of them.

Answer 4

Hey LDS Mormons If God Himself doesn't know of any other gods, how could the Mormons know of millions of gods?
“ Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: ‘ I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God. (Isaiah 44:6)

Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one. (Isaiah 44:8)

Aslo see Isaiah 45:5; 45:14; 45:21; 45:22; 46:5; 46:9; 43:10 all of these verses say there is only one God

Yet part of the mormon doctrine of God is the belief that every male mormon can become a god himself? joseph smith said, " You have got to learn to become gods yourselves the same as all gods before you." Brigham Young said, " The Lord created you and me for the purpose of becoming gods like himself. We are created to become gods like unto out father in heaven.
Whatever they wish John 10:34 to say, it does not support their position. The Mormon can only say he hopes to become a god. Psalm 82 and John 10:34 are in the present tense, a distinction apart from their position. In fact, upon a reading of Psalm 82, it is wonder that Mormons would want to identify with the psalm at all. It says nothing good about these men. But if that is the position they desire, only the judgment of God follows.
Furthermore, the Mormon should be made aware that LDS Apostle James Talmage correctly identified the “gods” of psalm 82 and john 10:34 when he wrote, “Divinely appointed judges Called ‘gods.’ In Psalm 82:6, judges invested by divine appointment are called ‘gods.’ To this Scripture the Savior referred in His reply to the Jews in Solomon’s Porch. Judges so authorized officiated as the representatives of God and are honored by the exalted title ‘god.’” (Jesus the Christ, 501).

Answer 5

Answer 6

According to my dad, the mormon, the inca and mayan ruins are enough to establish the BofM. Altho these civiliazations were idol worshipping nations, and loved to tear out the heart of their victim while it was beating and then thro the body down the steps and let us not forget the conqustadors who destryed their civilaztion.

Answer 7

the book is a complete lie

all of the events that happen sound like something found in a fantasy book because no of it could have happened

when you look at the bible you see event that have been proved or could have happened

but the book of mormons' events shows the truth about their beliefs that they are a lie

Answer 8

I am not familiar with that particular delusion, but your question may be rhetorical, as none of these " books " have much of truth about them anyway.

Answer 9

The same reason there is is valid proof that jesus actually existed.
