Were can I find the original source for the Book of Mormon?

Question

I am trying to prove that the Book of Mormon is true but cannot find any sources from the time that the stories take place to prove it. I am a Mormon and want to believe that my faith could be true.

Answer 1

You're as much mormon as I'm Jewish, and I'm not.
Cathy was right, get a life.

Answer 2

Brotherman, believe what you want. Why do you feel the need to prove anything? There is alot about this world that has no proof. Besides you might not like what you find.

Answer 3

The original source of the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith, is dead. He wrote the parts that were not plagiarized from the King James Bible. He claimed to write them with the help of golden tablets and magic stones, but that claim is not accepted by any thinking person.

Answer 4

You shouldn't have to feel the need to "prove" your faith, that is why it is faith. Believe despite all of the evidence against it. Don't worry about making an argument out of it, or debating about it with yourself or others. If it is what you believe, don't doubt it.

Answer 5

You don't need to prove a thing; simply exercise your faith. That is sufficient.

Answer 6

Gosh, don't you ever watch South Park?
There episode on it was great, really puts it in perspective.

Answer 7

. . . except you're clearly not Mormon and routinely bash them. And why did you suddenly change your user name?
