Response to claims in "The Bible: 1,002 - Book of Mormon: Zero"
| Claims made in "Joseph Smith and the Biblical Test of a Prophet" | A FAIR Analysis of: Watchman Fellowship A work by author: Rick Branch
|
Claims in "Testing the Book of Mormon by Moroni 10:4" |
Claim
Author's quote: “While there continues to be mounting evidence for the historicity of the biblical record, the Book of Mormon is still seeking that first authenticated scrap of evidence.”
Author's source(s)
Response
- The Old World portions of the Book of Mormon do have "that first authenticated scrap of evidence."
- There are also considerable tie-ins in the New World—we simply don't know the exact location of Book of Mormon events.
- For a detailed response, see: Biblical archaelogy compared to the Book of Mormon
- For a detailed response, see: Book of Mormon historicity
Claim
Ambiguous statements and grandiose claims have appeared in numerous LDS and RLDS journals, but, to date, not a single claim has been substantiated.
Author's source(s)
- Zarahemla Record, August 1989 p. 7 ("The massive fortification of the site dating around AD 825 surpass anything found in Maya archaeology to date. The Book of Mormon description in Mormon 4:10 is being confirmed.")
Response
The authors do nothing to address the thousands of pages published on this topic.
- For a detailed response, see: Book of Mormon—Archaeology
