Go to http://tinyurl.com/58bfv for further clarification as to why we interpret the passage of scripture my brother referenced the way we do.

Here is the passage in question: 16Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions: 17And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. 18And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? 19Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. 20And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. 21And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: 22And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. Here is an exerpt from the link Mr. Glenn Blaylock provided: "...Ezekiel’s use of the wood, therefore, helps define the meaning of wood in this context. He was told to write on wood, join the two boards into one, and inscribe the names of the owners on the covers. These three simple but specific actions were typical of scribal procedures; in fact, all of them were peculiar to scribes who wrote on boards. Since Ezekiel’s use of wood is the key to the word’s specific meaning, and since what he was doing typified the technical actions of scribes who wrote on wax writing boards, Ezekiel most likely was writing on wax writing boards...." The explanation of the passage from Ezekiel is incorrect... "He was told to write on wood, join the two boards into one, and inscribe the names of the owners on the covers...." Ezekiel wrote: "16Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions: " He wrote the names of Judah and Joseph on each stick and then joined them together. He did not "write on wood, join the two boards into one, and THEN inscribe the names of the owners on the covers." Also his conclusion of Ezekiel writing on wax board is still based on his opinion. He uses a lot of big words and knows some history but it is still based on his opinion at the end. The whole point of this passage is to reveal that Judah and Joseph will become one nation again.

The Book of Mormon is not a divinely inspired book. It is a book written by Joseph Smith. Nothing at all to do with the bible, which is inspired by God.

It says little more about it than the Old Testament says about the New Testament.

I tried looking through the index of multiple versions of the Bible (KJV, NIV, NWT, HCSB) for any words, names, titles, or things of importance or well-known from the index of the Book of Mormon (Mormon, Nephi, Mosiah, etc.) and the only similarities I could find is that the Bible mentions at Zephaniah 2:9 that the "people of Ammon" (who are, I guess, important people in the Book of Mormon, being converted Lamanites or something) will "be like Gemorrah and be destroyed by my people, [turned] into a salt pit, trampled on and....." So I would guess, if this is sufficient "proof" (if that's what you want to call it) that the Book of Mormon is mentioned in the Bible (since I don't recall the people of Ammon being prominent or even noteworthy in the Bible) and that the Book of Mormon (or the Mormon faith in general) is true and all that... then it is saying that it is false Christianity. But this was all done in haste and purely out of curiosity, and I wouldn't take it seriously. I have nothing against Mormons, but my excessive ranting, use of parenthesis and bad grammar is really starting to annoy me. Good luck with your learnings though!

Galatians 1:6-9. I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel — which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
