And if you are willing to put your soul and salvation on the line, then go right ahead, but remember in revelations is states do not add to the bible, if anyone dose you are erase from the book of life.
first off i'd just like to state, it's Books of Mormon, not book of mormons, book is the plural not mormon. Next, there is historical proof of the Book of Mormon, all the ancienct burial grounds, the cities. Instead of giving the native americans a chance to tell us their cities names, we killed them and forced them to move then renamed them ourselves, just because somebody came in killed lots of people and made the rest leave then change the name doesn't mean its not true. I mean lets say I assemble a large army and take over all the area's that are spoken of in the Bible and change their names, a few years down the road when everybody has forgotten what they used to be named, is that going to make the Bible untrue? by your logic i'd have to say yes. but by my logic, it's the word of God, it will always be true, every word in it that has been translated CORRECTLY. I also believe that the book of mormon is the word of God given to the people on the american continent, we know that they were there, and there was no way for them to keep in contact with the prophets on the otherside of the world, so God called prophets in the American continents and they recorded of their lives, and even if it isn't true, it still teaches great truths and gives excellent advice on how to live and by abiding by the principals in the book, you will get to know God better. so if you haven't read it, read it before you say it isn't true then I'd also like to point out some scriptures from the bible that talk about another book of scripture which I believe to be the book of mormon.
Ezek. 37: 16
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
Ezek. 37: 19
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
somebody has already stated that the people who wrote the book of mormon were decendants Israelites who held the stick of ephraim and were commanded to write a book, just as the Jews who are named after Judah were commanded to write a book so in other words Stick of Judah=Bible stick of Joseph=Book of Mormon
