• The Bible = Original • “Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues.” (1 Corinthians 12:4-10) – About A.D. 55.
• The Book Of Mormon = Plagiarism • “And again, I exhort you, my brethren, that ye deny not the gifts of God, for they are many; and they come from the same God. And there are different ways that these gifts are administered; but it is the same God who worketh all in all; and they are given by the manifestations of the Spirit of God unto men, to profit them. For behold, to one is given by the Spirit of God, that he may teach the word of wisdom; And to another, that he may teach the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; And to another, exceedingly great faith; and to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; And again, to another, that he may work mighty miracles; And again, to another, that he may prophesy concerning all things; And again, to another, the beholding of angels and ministering spirits; And again, to another, all kinds of tongues; And again, to another, the interpretation of languages and of divers kinds of tongues.” (Moroni 10:8-16) – About A.D. 421.
Verses from the King James Version of 1 Corinthians, chapter 12, were copied and pasted into the Book of Mormon. These verses can be found in Moroni, chapter 10. Details of what took place can be found below…
Joseph Smith was notorious for inserting the Bible into his Book of Mormon. And not only that, but changing many of the verses and chapters in the same way. We also see him copy and paste verses and not give the proper person who wrote them the proper citation. This can be seen all over this corrupt book. One such location comes in Moroni, chapter 10, in the Book of Mormon. This is where the letters of Paul to the Corinthians miraculously landed in the hands of Moroni also. The verses in Moroni were written in the same order and fashion as 1 Corinthians, chapter 12. Paul wrote, “now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues.” (1 Corinthians 12:4-10)
Notice the verses in bold that speak of the gifts of the Spirit. This come upon those who are born again. Notice what is bolded, for this information is in the same order in Moroni. It is written, “and again, I exhort you, my brethren, that ye deny not the gifts of God, for they are many; and they come from the same God. And there are different ways that these gifts are administered; but it is the same God who worketh all in all; and they are given by the manifestations of the Spirit of God unto men, to profit them. For behold, to one is given by the Spirit of God, that he may teach the word of wisdom; And to another, that he may teach the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; And to another, exceedingly great faith; and to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; And again, to another, that he may work mighty miracles; And again, to another, that he may prophesy concerning all things; And again, to another, the beholding of angels and ministering spirits; And again, to another, all kinds of tongues; And again, to another, the interpretation of languages and of divers kinds of tongues.” (Moroni 10:8-16) These verses speak for themselves. Joseph Smith plagiarized Paul and many other people in the Bible, including Jesus, scattered throughout the Book of Mormon. He is a false prophet. Amen.
Let us pray: Oh Lord, I pray that more people in the Mormon Church will come out of it and to You for salvation. Many of them hate it when I come sharing the true gospel from the Bible. It is like I am disturbing their so-called peace and comfort in their religion. In their minds, it cannot be possible that I could be right and them be wrong. They proclaim that only their church is true, and all others are false. This ego mindset would cause anyone to deny what one of Your servants would show them. This has caused me to almost give up talking to people that are Mormon. God, it is like talking to a wall, as it is hard to get through to them. Therefore, I plead and ask that Your Spirit will penetrate their hearts. May they be led to Your truth. Remove what is false from their lives so that they may follow You completely. Help them know that You are our Lord, Savior, Redeemer, God, and King, Jesus. How You atoned for our sins on the cross. You are our creator, not the brother of Lucifer. Lord, help them understand that all they need is You, Jesus, to be saved. Only You can save us, not religion. I love You, Lord. Amen.
