'''The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ'''<ref>[http://scriptures.lds.org/en/bm/contents The Book of Mormon]; Title page since 1982: ''The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.'' Original title page: ''The Book of Mormon: An Account Written by the Hand of Mormon upon Plates Taken from the Plates of Nephi.''</ref> is hilarious. Its also one of the four standard works, or scriptures, of the [[Mormons|Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints]] (Mormons). The other standard works are the [[Bible]], the [[Pearl of Great Price]], and the [[Doctrine and Covenants]].

Mormons believe that [[Joseph Smith]], Jr. translated the Book of Mormon from a set of gold plates he received from an angel named Moroni<ref>[http://scriptures.lds.org/js_h/1/34-35#34 "History of Joseph Smith,"] History of the Church Vol. 1</ref>

<blockquote>
“Joseph Smith would put the seer stone into a hat, and put his face in the hat, drawing it closely around his face to exclude the light; and in the darkness the spiritual light would shine. A piece of something resembling parchment would appear, and on that appeared the writing. One character at a time would appear, and under it was the interpretation in English. Brother Joseph would read off the English to Oliver Cowdery, who was his principal scribe, and when it was written down and repeated to Brother Joseph to see if it was correct, then it would disappear, and another character with the interpretation would appear. Thus the Book of Mormon was translated by the gift and power of God, and not by any power of man.” (David Whitmer, An Address to All Believers in Christ, Richmond, Mo.: n.p., 1887, p. 12.)

The Book of Mormon tells the story of the descendents of Lehi, who took his family from Jerusalem to the Americas. According to the book, Lehi's wicked sons, Laman and Lemual, turned against his righteous sons, Nephi and Sam, and were cursed with dark skin<ref>[http://www.gospeldoctrine.com/Alma3.htm GospelDoctrine.com]</ref>. Mormons believe that these people were the ancestors of some Native Americans; these people are referred to as "Lamanites" in the Book of Mormon:<ref>[http://search.ldslibrary.com/125037 Elder Spencer W. Kimball of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles]</ref> 

Nephi and Sam's descendents, the Nephites, eventually turned to wickedness and were destroyed by the more numerous Lamanites. One of the last Nephites, Moroni, buried the golden plates in what is now New York State to keep them from falling into the hands of the Lamanites and being destroyed.<ref>[http://scriptures.lds.org/en/bm/contents The Book of Mormon]</ref> Three Nephites were blessed with eternal life and still wander the Earth today serving others.<ref>[http://deseretmail.com/mormon-life/curric/story?story_id=1580 "Clyde J. Williams on the Three Nephites and the Doctrine of Translation,"] Thoughts on Gospel Doctrine Lesson 42, Deseret Book.</ref> 

[[Jesus]]' post-resurrection appearance in the New World is also documented in the Book of Mormon. In 1982, the subtitle, "Another Testament of Jesus Christ" was added to the title page<ref>[http://www.signaturebookslibrary.org/essays/bookofmormon.htm A Short Introduction to the Book of Mormon]</ref>.

==Contents==
The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ <ref>http://scriptures.lds.org/en/bm/contents</ref> is divided up into many sections or parts, including a [[Title Page (Book of Mormon)|Title Page]], [[Introduction (Book of Mormon)|Introduction]], [[The Testimony of Three Witnesses (Book of Mormon)|The Testimony of Three Witnesses]], [[The Testimony of Eight Witnesses (Book of Mormon)|The Testimony of Eight Witnesses]], the [[Testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith (Book of Mormon)|Testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith]], [[A Brief Explanation about The Book of Mormon]], and the following main parts or divisions commonly referred to as "books," as in "The Book of Moroni," followed by the common abbreviation in parentheses:
*[[First Nephi]] (1 Ne.)
*[[Second Nephi]] (2 Ne.)
*[[Jacob (Book of Mormon)|Jacob]] (Jacob)
*[[Enos (Book of Mormon)|Enos]] (Enos)
*[[Jarom (Book of Mormon)|Jarom]] (Jarom)
*[[Omni (Book of Mormon)|Omni]] (Omni)
*[[Words of Mormon]] (W of M)
*[[Mosiah (Book of Mormon)|Mosiah]] (Mosiah)
*[[Alma (Book of Mormon)|Alma]] (Alma)
*[[Helaman (Book of Mormon)|Helaman]] (Hel.)
*[[Third Nephi]] (3 Ne.)
*[[Fourth Nephi]] (4 Ne.)
*[[Mormon (Book of Mormon)|Mormon]] (Morm.)
*[[Ether (Book of Mormon)|Ether]] (Ether)
*[[Moroni (Book of Mormon)|Moroni]] (Moro.).

The first sentence of the Introduction is quite self-explanatory: "The Book of Mormon is a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible. It is a record of God’s dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and contains, as does the Bible, the fulness of the everlasting gospel." <ref>http://scriptures.lds.org/en/bm/introduction</ref>

*[[Objects listed in the Book of Mormon]]
*[[People listed in the Book of Mormon]]
*[[Places listed in the Book of Mormon]]

==Other denominations==
The Book of Mormon is also accepted as Scripture by some breakaway denominations, the largest of which, the [[Community of Christ]] (est. 1860), publishes its own versions of the Book of Mormon, with different chapter and verse divisions, and one with "modernized" language. Most other Christian denominations, Catholic and Protestant, reject the Book of Mormon as Scripture.

== Polygamy ==
It should be noted that the Book of Mormon does not teach [[polygamy]]; it is instead found in the [[Doctrine and Covenants]], section 132. The Book of Mormon says the following concerning plural marriage:

''"Wherefore, my bretheren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife, and [[concubine]]s he shall have none"'' (Jacob 2:27).

Hi there

I am just planing to make a team to update, at the Main Page, the "Article of the month". Could be you, Learn_together and me. I am sure Andy will approve it. Agreee? --[[User:Joaquín Martínez]], [[User talk:Joaquín Martínez|talk]] 09:41, 8 December 2007 (EST)

:Yes, I agree. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 19:47, 8 December 2007 (EST)

::Excellent my friend. --[[User:Joaquín Martínez]], [[User talk:Joaquín Martínez|talk]] 21:16, 8 December 2007 (EST)

:: The reply from Mr. Schlafly was this:

''Sounds like a fantastic idea, Joaquin! I'm all for it.''

First thing we have to do is to make a list of featured articles, then select the best ones. We can start now.

--[[User:Joaquín Martínez]], [[User talk:Joaquín Martínez|talk]] 13:19, 13 December 2007 (EST)

==[[Genocide]]==

This seems a fairly straightforward issue to me. I have seen no definition of genocide outside of this site's article that requires that genocide be carried out by a government. The UN has not defined genocide this way, and the State Department states explicitly that genocide occurred in Bosnia. [http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2868.htm] Based on these facts, I think the definition in the article should be corrected, and the Srebrenica massacre should be reinserted as an example of genocide. What are your thoughts? [[User:SSchultz|SSchultz]] 21:43, 13 December 2007 (EST)

MakeTomorrow you're acting troll-ish, if the only thing you go on talk pages for is to tell users that they're "getting unpleasant" then you may end up with a block.--[[User:Iduan|I]][[User_talk:Iduan|Duan]] 16:32, 8 February 2008 (EST)

Great blocks!--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 20:56, 13 February 2008 (EST)

== The Onion ==

Hey Crocoite - just to make sure, you know the Onion is a parody website right? Like that John thing didn't really happen ..--[[User:Iduan|I]][[User_talk:Iduan|Duan]] 22:54, 17 February 2008 (EST)
:Yes, I know [[The Onion]] is a parody website. I still like the example. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 23:14, 17 February 2008 (EST)

== NPR ==

I noticed that awhile back you found some sources pointing out NPR's liberal bias. I've also heard NPR be accused of being elitist as well, such as that its listening population is significantly richer than the general population. I'm looking for sources for that and I was wondering if you had anything. Thanks! [[User:DanH|DanH]] 18:57, 18 February 2008 (EST)
:Dan, I will glad to help you with sources after I finish a major article I'm doing for contest5. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 19:03, 18 February 2008 (EST)

Awesome Breaking News items!--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 13:39, 19 February 2008 (EST)
:Thanks Andy! Being able to post News items is one of the most fun things about being an administrator on Conservapedia. When I used to suggest news items on [[Wikipedia]], they discouraged me and called me a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Crocoite#Posting_Fox_News_pieces_into_Talk_pages troll]. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 13:48, 19 February 2008 (EST)

Wow, thanks for fixing "Tuscon" - eek, sorry about that!--[[User:Iduan|I]][[User_talk:Iduan|Duan]] 20:33, 19 February 2008 (EST)
:No problem. When I wikified it, I wondered why there was a red link, and found out that it was misspelled + it's now a wanted article. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 20:37, 19 February 2008 (EST)

Many thanks, and I really appreciate all you did! We put our noses to the millstone and pounded out some great work - now to see how the scoring tallies :D [[Image:User Fox.png|10px]] [[User:Fox|Fox]] ([[User talk:Fox|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Fox|contribs]]) 06:56, 21 February 2008 (EST)

::Thanks Fox. I wish my News articles were worth more points but I was able to score big with that [[National Institutes of Health]] article.
::Great teamwork Fox and you did an awesome job. No, my new articles aren't Masterpiece material. I think your [[Passover]] article does qualify for the Masterpiece award. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 09:28, 21 February 2008 (EST)

::ack, sorry to do this to you Crocoite - but the user who wrote the article now says that they were the ones who wrote it on wikipedia - and they just didn't know to put that note on the talk page, would you mind restoring it?
