Did You Know...

That a good portion of the Book of Mormon is copied straight out of the King James Bible? Such as 2 Nephi 12-24 which is taken verbatim from Isaiah 2-14. There are many others chapters and verses in the Book of Mormon that steal from Isaiah, Matthew and others. This presents a problem to LDS apologists: The King James Bible did not exists till nearly a millennium after the conclusion of the events of the Book of Mormon. But how can we know that Mormon (Book of Mormon prophet and historian) didn't have the Bible and just spoke about it in his writings? Well, the Old Testament's original language is Hebrew, the New Testament's is Greek and the Book of Mormon's is Reformed Egyptian. This would mean that verses taken from the Hebrew-Greek Bible and placed in the Book of Mormon (Reformed Egyptian) would by translation be semantically different. For example look at the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), a straight translation of this would be different from one taken from Hebrew. While the meaning might not be different, there will inevitably be some differences in word choice and sentence structure. This should show that the quotations of scripture in the Book of Mormon came from the King James Version of the Bible and are thus anachronistic.
