Mormons: What “Plain and precious things” does the book of Mormon restore?

Question

That wasn't already in the bible?

Ironically Manaia, you a member of the church do more damage for it than me an “Anti Mormon” I don’t have the burden of being a good example like you do.

Answer 1

The requirements for baptism (Mormon 8)
Truths about the resurrection(Alma 40), ordinances(Moroni 2-5), authority(Mosiah 18), and salvation(2 Nephi 2).

Answer 2

There is nothing better than an honest study of the books from the Mormon church because the people who look at them will find them to be better than reading animormon literature.
The plain and precious things that are talked about are vaporware. If you read "The identity of the New Testament Text": by Wilbur Pickering, then it will become clear that the LDS church has no reason to back up what they say.

Answer 3

The Sermon on the mount, if you read it in the bible, just the words he spoke, it'll take you 20 min if you are a good reader. In the Book of Mormon when he gives the Sermon on the mount to the people in the Americas, there is stuff added as well as lengthen/explained.

Yeah, I can see what you are thinking, Joe Smith added them. No, like manaia said, the bible has been translated many times.

Answer 4

Thats actually not a bad question for a non member. When you read the Book of Mormon, the spirit comes to you. Jesus has another testament to tell us. Its on the front because thats exactly why. Christ tells us to obey and keep his commandments and we shall be blessed.

The Plan of Salvation is a big one that the bible doesn't have.

Answer 5

Good Ole Black Death. I hear you're an Anti-Mormon too. Just out having a weekend game with us poor lost demonic Mormon souls huh?

Well since you didn't get the memo, The Bible has been translated umpteen thousand times in the last 4000 years. and many of the important things have been lost in translation.

For example the book of Deuteronomy originally spoke of the Urim and Thummin and what it does. The Born again Bible ya'll use, have had that little tidbit removed because Joseph Smith claimed he used one to Translate the Book of Mormon.

As a result your buddies put you on the road to Spiritual Darkness. Good One Huh?

So now you need to buck up, repent and re-read the Book of Mormon and find out for yourself cause I am not going to waste my time with you and your buddies this weekend.

I need to go to church and worship "The Mormon Jesus" and finish drawing up the blueprints for the world I'm going to build when I become a God.

Hey like my Mission President said (In Jest) "The least you can be is a Bad Example, It's better to be a bad example than no example at all"

I guess you're no example at all and a perfect example of what not to become. Bitter, Angry, Contentious, Fault Seeking...

Sounds like you need to read your Bible again starting with First Corinthians. There are some great lessons on unity and contention.

Answer 6

Hey great question.

By reading the answers
I got reminded how much blessing and knowledge the Book of Mormon restore.

Thanks to my fellow LDS.

Answer 7

Some of these answers work for me.

Especially "I am a Mormon" and "Arthur"

D

Answer 8

The clearest and best explanation of God's love.

This is my work and my glory to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

Answer 9

It was restored because it was lost. The restoration restored the priesthood and baptism because it was lost with the apostles because when Peter passed down his keys to Linus, John the Revelator did not pass down his keys and therefore the modern day Catholic church is incomplete....

Answer 10

Sacrament
Baptism
Holy Ghost

I could go on. Does thee bible have these? yes, but they are not plain, hence thousands of religions.
