1. Why did the angel take Nephi Plates back to heaven? Do they not belong with man? Would not their existence prove once for all that Mormonism is truth? God allowed the Jews to carry the 10 commandments for several centuries in their original physical form, written by the finger of God Himself!
2. If the Book of Mormon is true, then why has the Mormon church changed it? Examples are: 1 Nephi 11:21; 19:20; 20:1 and Alma 29:4. Compare these with the original Book of Mormon. (Gerald and Sandra Tanner have counted 3913 changes in the book of Mormon, excluding punctuation changes.)
3. If Moroni devoutly practiced the Mormon Gospel, why is he an angel now rather than a God? (Doc. & Cov. 132:17,37)
4. Why isn't the Elohim (God) being the father of Jehovah (Jesus) and being once a mortal man discussed? (In fact, God and Jesus appear to be one in the same being in the Book of Mormon--especially in the first edition).
5. What about God having a body of flesh and bones, God being married, men becoming Gods, temple participation necessary for exaltation, baptism for the dead, Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthood, word of wisdom, and 3 degrees of glory?
6. Why is polygamy condemned in the Book of Mormon, but condoned in the D&C and still believed to be necessary in church doctrine for exaltation in the after-life?
7. Where are such doctrines as a man having to marry in order to be exalted, member having to wear sacred undergarments, official doctrine being voted upon by the general membership, God being the offspring of another God, etc.?
Please consider these questions and even get help answering them from other Mormons. I am not trying to bring any malice or hate to this disscussion, just truth and honesty. Please answer these questions and help us all understand.
Thank you,
Trae
You know what, you can believe what you choose. Plain and simple. If you want to have more questions answered you can have our missionaries come over. But I don't believe that really interests you.
But, on the polygamy issue, it is condemned and supported in different places of the OT, e.g. David condemned and Israel, Jacob, allowed....

It does interest me. That's why I asked, I have already asked your "elders" and they cannot answer. I would really encourage you to read the information from this link: http://www.bible.ca/mormon.htm
I hope it will help you as you seek God's will in your life.
Sorry Trae, but much of that garbage is based on untruths. Also, how can you receive answers to your questions from the missionaries if your intent is to Bible bash? The Spirit cannot testify amidst contention, surely you know that.
