There is only one Bible, the 66 books of God's word. This is proven by the fact that if you want to suggest another book it can be proven it does not belong with the Scriptures.

The book of Mormon uses the word "he stinketh" once and the Bible uses it once. "Sleepeth" and "stinketh" are found together in only these two chapters: once in the book of Mormon and once in the Bible in two stories that parallel each other but are about different characters. Coincidence or plagiarizing?

I don't see your article addressing this problem or the problem copying from the KJV errors which later were revised and taken out of the KJV.

"Believeth thou this" is found once in the Bible in John and only once in the book of Mormon in Alma.

Joseph Smith takes his Nephi character in the book of Laban and copies the Apocryphal story of Judith. The video goes through point by point the comparisons which your Mormon article response leave out some.

What's even worse is this Laban name is actually taken from one of the Apocryphal books that were written between 300 AD and before Christ. It's good your article kindly reveals that Nephi is an Apocryphal place name as well. These Apocryphal books are not part of the Bible.

When you see the origin and source in the story telling of Joseph Smith, the book of Mormon is worthy of abandonment, because is baked from materials that we Joseph lifted from.
