M*****s have something that offers the clearest proof of all - The **** ****. There is no other book like it anywhere on earth. It is absolutely perfect in the ******* ******. It has no mistakes in grammar, meanings or context. The scientific evidences are well known around the entire world, even amongst non-M***** scholars. Predictions in the ****** have come true; and its teachings are clearly for all people, all places and all times.
Surprisingly enough, the ****** itself provides us with the test of authenticity and offers challenges against itself to prove its veracity. ***** tells us in the ******:
Haven't the unbelievers considered if this was from other than ******, they would find within it many contradictions?"
Bonus question: Does this sound like a GA at GC?
"Another example is have them consider what might happen if a tornado came through a junkyard and tore through the old cars; would it leave behind a nice new Mercedes with the engine running and no parts left around? Naturally not."
It's clearly about a book that was revealed by an angel to an unlearned, but spiritually attuned man. This man started a religious movement and was declared a "prophet" by his followers. Oh, and he had multiple wives.
ziller's short list of similarities between Mormonism and Islam:
Mormonism and Islam are both the products of revelations given to one man over a relatively short period during his relatively short life.
Both Muhammad’s Koran and Joseph Smith’s Doctrine & Covenants contain “revelations” sanctifying polygamy after the respective prophets had been caught practicing it.
Both revelations threaten the wife of each respective prophet if she does not accept polygamy.
When practiced by a majority of the population, both Islam and Mormonism tend to establish a theocratic system of government in which there is no separation between church and state, personal freedoms and democracy are limited and women are oppressed.
Both religions condone violence against unbelievers and apostates.
Both the original Book of Mormon and the original Koran are located in heaven for safe keeping.
Both prophets claimed to be restoring the one true religion of Jesus Christ that had been lost, perverted or misunderstood by Jesus’ followers.
Both taught heretical and false doctrine concerning Christ according to the Holy Bible.
Both taught a system of salvation by works.
Both men had their 1st visions revealed to them by “beings of light”.
