The Moroni Deception Quotes

“Yet for some not so mysterious reason, Koplanski noted, the texts all came out sounding much like the Old English from the King James Bible, with all the “thee’s,” “ye’s,” and “thou’s.” Some readers eventually noted that the two sounded so similar that it was soon discovered that, in fact, vast passages from the King James Version of The Bible had been copied virtually verbatim”

“in fact, vast passages from the King James Version of The Bible had been copied virtually verbatim and spread throughout, comprising almost one eighteenth of The Book of Mormon. Koplanski then went on to further question the veracity of Smith’s claim that The Book of Mormon had been originally written in the 1st Century. He did this by pointing out that the near identical King James Version passages included within The Book of Mormon also contained the same italicized words that the KJV translators had inserted into the King James Version when it was completed in 1611, some 200 years before Smith discovered and translated the Gold Plates.”
