I’m a convert to this great work work. My conversion was one of hearing the gospel by a cousin who joined the church and was on a mission when I was in the army. I knew it true right away, also I was given a physical witness. So it was confirmed by the spirit to my heart, mind and soul. This just continues to confirm my beliefs. We were told as missionaries by a visiting 70 in Argentina that the time will come when there will be physical proof of the Book of Mormon. That person was Elder Didier. For those that require physical proof, there it is, the rest is still up to you. And you know what you need to do. Great program.

@@musketeerflyer I'm not affiliated with this video at all, but I ask you why would you want to spoil this harmless video with more of the same tired, poorly researched arguments against the Book of Mormon that many of us have seen time and time again and that have been around for almost 200 years now? I can almost guarantee that whatever "evidence" against the Book of Mormon you think you have would be something you've been told and accepted at face value as true but is very likely to emanate from dishonest attempts to smear and sow confusion and contention. Critics that run around commenting on LDS-themed videos are very, very unlikely to have even a rudimentary knowledge of the subject matter they're criticizing, and certainly don't have enough knowledge to understand that they've been lied to by some "they're a cult"-type pastor or other professional that makes a living off of selling lies about the Church and the Book of Mormon. I've seen it over and over again. Believe me, whatever argument you were prepared to share with us would be met with a gigantic eye-roll from most of us because, as I said, we've seen it all before. If you'd actually like to have an honest discussion about the Book of Mormon, I'm sure we could work out a way to do so without having our discussion sprawl out in these comments. I wish you well.

@@Mustardmanor The Book of Mormon states that Lehi and his crew started traveling in an eastward direction from Nahom. That is, they traveled generally south, apparently following the ancient trade routes, until they reached a place called Nahom. They buried Ishmael, and then started traveling eastward from that time until they reached Bountiful (located on the sea). NHM is situated EXACTLY where the ancient trade routes turn eastward. In other words, if you take only the clues found in the Book of Mormon and pointed to the likely spot on a map, NHM is found at that spot. Also, it's extremely unlikely that Joseph could have known about the existence of NHM because very few maps at the time showed this location. The nearest source anybody's found is a library some 300 miles from where Joseph was living at the time. So, this NHM evidence is pretty compelling. It's not absolute proof, of course. The only real proof of the Book of Mormon's authenticity is provided by the Holy Ghost to those who earnestly seek to know whether it's true.

But also it is a history of a people that have a living posterity today. At some point it will need to be known who they are as that is one of the primary purposes of the book...to teach them directly...not indirectly. Whoever the descendants are...their ancestors are laboring on the other side of the veil to encourage us to uncover that stone. It may not be for decades yet to come but all of the evidences north and south America are types of genealogy and will one day connect the dots for their ancestors and their stories and their dealings with Christ

It seems impossible to make sense to a cult member that is indoctrinated by their parents. but I'll try another time. the Bible teaches us in Isaiah to test your profits. (Alma comes to mind)if one prophecy is incorrect they are a false prophet. Don't be afraid. fleshly bodies are of this Earth, Satan is Lord over this Earth... but didn't you get the burning in your bosom? that burning is from satan who could not possibly be a brother to our only God Yahweh. Yahweh gave you a brain to workout the difference of Satan and false prophets. the reason why you are compelled to say it is a true book is because that is cult tactics. to meet and repeat a set of specific phrases to affirm that what you believe is true. Solid verified evidence absent. do you have to pay any type of money for a blessing? and if you are not receiving a blessing it might be your fault for not paying enough. or having enough faith. this is called blame reversal. These are ways of a cult. I could go on for pages and pages on how the Book of Mormon has no ties to the Bible whatsoever. I just want to shake the Joseph Smith out of you.... and give you a hug, for you have been deceived. your false prophets have known the deception from the beginning and yet they still keep their people under their thumb. the best way to run a cult is to keep the cult members all happy feeling good about their false testimony. it's not easy to get out, but as Mr. Neilson said "just believe " you can get out and make the change.put out this fire in your chest, it's smoking , hard to see the cliff your about to tumble off. life will become hazy stepping into reality. Shake off the blinders of mormoism and things will make sense logically and spiritually. I am a Mormon member but, without the churchI have been born again and you can be born again too.

LDS PLEASE DON'T REJECT GOD OF BIBLE & FOLLOW THE FALSE GODS of Joseph Smith? ISN'T YOUR ETERNITY WORTH EXAMINING THE TRUTH? "Before me NO god was formed, nor shall there be ANY after me.” (Isaiah 43:10) If Mormonism is true, then God could not make this claim, for he was just a man at one point; nor could he claim that no gods would come after him, for that is the goal of J.S. and LDS members. Isaiah 44:6 says, "I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is NO God." & "Is there any God besides me?... I know not one". God is saying there is NOT an infinite amount of Gods, and there is none like Him. LDS teaches that there is. Either the BIBLE or LDS is false. LDS CLAIMS the bible was corrupted to justify Joseph Smith's changing of the biblical, eternal God into an evolving, created god, who is not all powerful and is one of an endless number of gods. This is a PROVABLY FALSE claim. The Claim: In the BOM, the prophet Nephi has a vision the Bible was CORRUPTED and "plain and precious parts" were removed AFTER the 12 apostles and after the formation of the “great and ABOMINABLE church” (1 Nephi 13:26-29). Nephi claims this church was founded by the DEVIL (1 Nephi 14:3). So let’s objectively TEST the BIBLE v.s. BOM. LDS paid scholar Dan McClellan in 2024: "The data pretty firmly points in the OPPOSITE direction of a historical BOM" youtube short video "Is the BOM historical?" NO Nephite "reformed Egyptian" writings described by J.S. (Mormon 9:32) ever found ANYWHERE. All reputable linguists have rejected it as mythical as of 2024. Professor Charles Anthon Feb. 17, 1834 NO trace of Jewish DNA found in any Indian burial ground anywhere in the Americas from period of BOM. Thomas W. Murphy, (LDS scholar, DNA expert): “the genetic evidence shows that American Indians are NOT Jewish. The Book of Mormon is not true.” John Whitmer Historical Association Journal 2005 NO truth: Book of Abraham published with 3 drawings from an Egyptian papyrus. The book is a funerary papyrus of scenes from the Egyptian Book of the Dead. In drawings Nos. 1 & 3, Smith misidentifies everything depicted. "LDS and non-LDS Egyptologists agree that the characters on the fragments do NOT match the translation given in the book of Abraham" Quote from LDS OFFICIAL WEB PAGE NO trace of “2 million Jaredites slain” (Ether 15:2), with iron, brass, breast-plates, shields, and armor. Impossible for millions of dead warriors in metal armor to leave no trace. NO trace of the "great city Zarahemla"- impossible for a city the size of Zarahemla described in BOM (4 Nephi 8; D&C 125:3) to leave no trace. NO temple like Solomon's described in 2 Nephi 5:16 has ever been found yet biblical temple is easily seen in Jerusalem. This "temple" could not just disappear. NO cities mentioned in the BOM have ever been located (none of 38) ANYWHERE. Impossible for them to disappear unless they never existed. NO evidence: "The whole land was covered with buildings, and the people were as numerous, as it were the sand of the sea." Yet NOT ONE ever located. (Mormon 1:7) IMPOSSIBLE for (Jaredites, Nephites) & MILLIONS of people to have vanished. There is NO archaeological, anthropological, topological, linguistic, botanical or dna evidence to support the BOM. LDS anthropologist Dee Green: “first myth we need to eliminate is that BOM archaeology exists”; 20 years of research “left us empty-handed” (Green 1969 p. 77) According to the Smithsonian Institute, the following items (which, according to BOM, existed in the Americas b/w 600 B.C. & 421 A.D.) have absolutely no evidence for existing in the America's during that time: Silk-Alma 4:6, Nephi 13:7; Horses-Enos 1:21; Steel-Jarom 1:8, 2 Nephi 5:15,16; Iron-2 Nephi 5:15; Coins-Alma 11:5-19; Donkeys-Mosiah 5:14, 12:5; Cattle, Cow, and Oxen-Enos 1:21; Pigs-3 Nephi 7:8; Wheat-Mosiah 9:9 NO goats, no metal smelting furnaces, no metal armor, no steel swords, no chariot parts, no brass, no evidence of Kings in BOM Alma 18: 9-12; Mosiah 8:10 & 9:9; 1 Ne 18:25 CAN WE IGNORE THE STRONG EVIDENCE AGAINST THE BOM AND JUST TRUST OUR FEELINGS AS TO IT'S TRUTH EVEN THOUGH IT CONFLICTS WITH THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE and the BIBLE? NO! D&C Section 9:8-9 - tells us that if something is true it will make our "bosom burn" and we will FEEL that it is right. Maroni 10:4 says: "he will manifest the truth of it unto you" The BIBLE WARNS us against this SUBJECTIVE type of truth test. The LDS test for truth violates the Biblical test. Why? Because we have a sinful nature that can be deceived. Proverbs 28:26 "He that trusts in his own (bosom) heart is a FOOL." This is why the Bible frequently urges us to study and meditate on God's word. 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV "STUDY ... rightly dividing the word of TRUTH." Acts 17:11 "EXAMINE THE SCRIPTURES to see if what said is TRUE". 1John 4:1 says: "BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT, ... because MANY FALSE PROPHETS (J.S.) have gone out into the world." BIBLE TEST: The Dead Sea Scrolls have been dated to as early as 350 BC. One is the Great Isaiah Scroll dated to 180 BC. Do ANY ancient scrolls show Smith's "uncorrupted" version of scripture? NO! Yet they would if the scripture was later corrupted after the 12 apostles died as Smith and Nephi said. Also, if they had been corrupted, Jesus would have corrected scripture instead of affirming it! Jesus:“ I told you EVERYTHING written about me in the Law of Moses, the Books of the Prophets, and in the Psalms had to happen.” (Luke 24:44-46) Scripture is the same today as it was 2,100+ years ago with only minor spelling and punctuation differences. J.S. lied. These scrolls are Jewish scrolls and the BOM says the Jews had the Scriptures in their "purity" and "TRUTH". 1Nephi 13:25 LDS Apologist Wayne Ham said the Isaiah scroll does not support the the BOM. Dr. Sidney B. Sperry, of BYU, said the Dead Sea Scrolls do not help the case for the BOM. BYU Professor Joseph F. McConkie: "Rather than Joseph Smith as Found in Ancient Manuscripts, it ought be Joseph Smith as Lost in Ancient Manuscripts.” (Religious Studies Center, 1984) IS THE GOD OF THE BOOK OF MORMON THE SAME ONE AS IN THE BIBLE? NO! In the LDS Church’s 147th Conf., Gen Authority Bernard P. Brockbank said: the Christ followed by Mormons is NOT THE CHRIST followed by traditional Christianity. (Ensign, May 1977 p. 26) The new testament has not been corrupted either. See the book of John. Smith changed it to make Jesus a created being. Research a 1900 year old papyri known as the Bodmer Papyri of the book of John. (written 150 AD, around the Apostle John's time) John 1:1 "In the BEGINNING was the WORD and the WORD was WITH God and the WORD WAS God." ΕΝ ΑΡΧΗ ΗΝ Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ ΚΑΙ Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ ΗΝ ΠΡΟΣ ΤΟΝ ΘΕΟΝ ΚΑΙ ΘΕΟΣ ΗΝ Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ (look up this ancient Greek yourself on google) John 1:1 Joseph Smith mistranslation: "In the beginning was the GOSPEL preached through the Son. And the GOSPEL was the word, and the word was with the Son, and the Son was with God, and the Son was of God." Smith's Jesus is no longer God in the flesh but the biblical Jesus is: "God was manifest in the flesh" 1Tim. 3:16 KJV. In order to try to make things work for LDS, J.S. added extra verses and verbiage into John 1 that were never there in any ancient texts to try to separate the idea of a trinity into 3 Gods. There are 4,000 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament. Some go back to 350 AD and NONE support Joseph Smith's claims that the bible of today has been corrupted. Papyrus fragments exist of the New Testament dated to 175 AD and show that the new testament has NOT been "corrupted". (New Testament Docs: Are They Reliable? Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1967 pp. 15-17) The manuscript and archeological evidence for the BIBLE is the GREATEST in antiquity. I pray you know the true Jesus and not Joseph Smith's exalted man from another planet who is not eternal, not all powerful, not perfect but evolving, and was polygamous. God is much greater than the humanoid of Mormonism and NOT just ONE OF AN ENDLESS NUMBER OF EVOLVING GODS. Jesus said ALL scripture will NOT fade away but "many wolves in sheep's clothing" will come trying to add to the word. Mathew 7:15 Joseph Smith changed Jesus, the Father and taught you can become a GOD. It hurts my heart to see Mormons fall for the lie that we can become God when there is only one eternal God found in the bible. God gave us critical thinking & logical reasoning for a reason, he tells us to EXAMINE and TEST what we are being taught for TRUTH. The bible withstands the truth test. Joseph Smith's version fails the truth test. It's your eternity, study it for yourself. God bless. LDS LIES: "The law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so." Brigham Young Journal of Discourses, Vol. 10, p. 110 "The only men who become Gods, even the sons of Gods are those that enter into polygamy." (Brigham Young) Journal of Discourses 11 p.269 Apostle Orson Pratt, The Seer, p. 172, “the great Messiah, the founder of the Christian religion was a Polygamist he followed the example of his Father"

Thank you, sir! I was born and raised as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints here in the Philippines. I had that privilege that most of my friends in the church did not have. When I started watching this first episode, I was ironing my white shirt in preparation for our priesthood session this afternoon when I said, I don't need evidence to know if the Book of Mormon is true. I have witnessed to myself multiple times the truthfulness of it. But I always have the feeling that I wish I could have the same conversion as my friends did, where they had a full turn in their life that serves as a big testament to themselves that the church is true, that the prophet Joseph Smith is true, and so is the Book of Mormon. My conversion was different. It was not like a big turn of events, but it was more gradual-praying every day, reading scriptures, attending church every Sunday, attending seminary and institute classes, repenting of my sins, obeying commandments, attending the temple, and so on. I wouldn't deny that I came to a point in my life where I questioned if all these things were true. I grew up in the church and this is the only thing I know to be true. And I wonder if I only believe these things to be true because it is what my parents taught me as they raised me. But I challenged myself to learn for myself. I prayed to God and I received a strong confirmation from the Spirit that all that I believe and know to be true in the church is real and I am not mistaken. And the strong confirmation became stronger as I kept living the restored gospel and the commandments of God. I am grateful that I did that and I have learned for myself. Yes, I said that I don't need evidence to know if the Book of Mormon is true, but watching this documentary sparked my interest. I've been seeing a lot of content on social media attacking the church. Ex-members vilify and make fun of our beliefs, spreading misinformation from unreliable sources. And this documentary, whether it indirectly proves the Book of Mormon, is better to rely on because the evidence was examined and studied by reliable and professional people. There are records and tangible objects that no way Joseph Smith could have known for himself and used as a reference when he wrote the Book of Mormon. I am really engrossed in this documentary and look forward to watching the other episodes. So, to all the people who made or are making this, Maraming Salamat po! Thank you very much. I can't imagine the sacrifices and efforts you made just to produce this. I can't express how grateful I am just to watch the first episode.
