Anachronisms in the Book of Mormon | Ep. 1609 | LDS Discussions Ep. 08

Join John and Mike from LDS Discussions as they discuss the Anachronisms in the Book of Mormon! They explore anachronisms related to agriculture, animals, Jewish customs, records on metal plates, the King James Bible, and New Testament material. They also discuss the use of Christ and Messiah in the Book of Mormon and the absence of unique Mormon doctrines. They examine apologetic responses to the anachronisms and the possibility of the Book of Mormon prophets receiving revelation. The host and guest conclude that the presence of even one anachronism can prove a document to be inauthentic.
