Book of Mormon a Stolen Novel?

[_ldsfaqs]

What I love about the "Spaulding" theory in relation to anti-mormons so lovingly accepting it as plausible, is that it CLEARLY and unequivocally shows how anti-mormon judgment is ENTIRELY based on "opinion" and negative fantasy, rather than actual facts and logical analysis.

Because the fact is, there is little to no fact what so ever demonstrating that the Spaulding Manuscript is related to the Book of Mormon.

Another anti-mormon claim debunked.... that "they" are they actual ones who embrace fact and logic.
The actual truth and fact is they don't. Their's is half truth, fantasy, and perversion.

Try to spread your blanket statement a little wider there.

Truth is truth..... You all base your judgments on half truth, perversion and outright lies.
I know for sure because I've seen it for myself. No matter the issue, you use half truth, omit important facts, embrace innuendo, rumor and gossip, etc. to make your judgments. Anti-mormonism is like the National Enquirer of intellectual thought (so-called thought). In the gutter, in the simplistic.

You assume that all critics of Mormonism adhere to the Spaulding theory. Your blanket accusation is false.

Actually, you're the one "assuming".... I never said or implied such.
I only indicated it as ONE NAIL in the anti-mormon lacking of intellect and morality anti-mormon coffin.

So, stop bearing false witness and misrepresenting what people say.

Please see the following: http://aristophrenium.com/adam/who-really-wrote-the-book-of-mormon/

Solomon Spalding made two attempts at writing which produced the works “Manuscript Story” and “Manuscript Found”. “Manuscript Found,” concerns a story about lost tribes of Israel coming to America. He took this to a publisher in Pittsburgh who agreed to publish it provided that Spalding come up with “front” money. Spalding dies before he raises funds. In 1814, between the submission of Spalding’s manuscript to the publisher and Spalding’s death, the manuscript disappears for a while. It is believed that Sidney Rigdon, a tanner and book binder took it. He was seen by many witnesses visiting printing shops and publishing houses in the area. Joseph Miller, a companion of Solomon Spalding in his later years, states that Solomon suspected Sidney of taking his work.
Oliver Cowdery (Joseph Smith's second scribe) was also Smith's cousin. Oliver’s brother Erastus Cowdery lived in Ohio and was a close neighbour of SIDNEY RIGDON.

You are asking him for substance. I have never seen any from him, so I predict he will not give a detailed explanation of this theory.

I believe the point is that there are many problems surrounding the Book of Mormon. Found hundreds of years after the Bible ends its narrative. Is presumed found by a man of dubious background. This man actually runs for president, takes multiple wives and says God okays all his actions.
