Think for once in your life. Joseph Smith was writing the Book of Mormon without any help from GOD. And He could not help but make mistakes. And this is a glaring error, and yet one that could have slipped by any guy who had no heart for the truth but was too busy trying to jump into the spotlight.
The darkness in Jerusalem would have been at night in the Americas. That event would have been invisible to the Nephites. If they experienced anything it would have had to have been a result of different miraculous arrangement and would have to have happened at a somewhat different time.
Wait, wait, wait! Have you never seen the stars and the moon? Imagine a beautiful starry night suddenly going black for 3 hours. Of course Joseph Smith lacked any godly insight to fill in what he forgot from Sunday school, and clearly left his lack of divine leading imprinted in the pages of the Book of Mormon for anyone really interested in pondering the differences between the Bible and the Book of Mormon to note. In Moroni Chapter 10 verse 4, the book itself presents in poor sentence structure the following: "... I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true...."
OK, GOD, are these things not true? The answer I get from GOD is, "Absolutely, these things are
NOT true!" Now I know what Joseph Smith thinks he was saying in
ye old English, but the fact is he proves that the Book of Mormon is a forgery and not another testament at all, but an attempt to usurp the true Word of GOD. If you want a relationship with GOD the FATHER through Jesus the Messiah read the Bible. If you want to be a god with your own planets then read
Harry Potter and forget the Book of Mormon.
