Latter Day Sinner

Some say the Book of Mormon was plagiarized. The Church insists that it was translated. Both those explanations fail to compel me. I do not know another book in the world like the Book of Mormon except maybe the Quran. I will get to that in a second. I have an intimate knowledge of what the word translation means and putting your head into a hat and reciting to a clerk is not in any way shape or form even vaguely related to translation. So what was it then. I am too impressed with the Book of Mormon to think that Joseph Smith Jr’s efforts were fraudulent. I am convinced it was revelation. That God breathed it. That Joseph experienced Theopneustia. This is why I reference the Quran with the Book of Mormon so often. I think God breathed through Mohammed in much the same way as he did through Brother Joseph. My two cents.
