To those who follow the Mormon faith, the Book of Mormon is indeed another testament of Jesus Christ, and His eternal position as the Savior and mediator of all mankind. To them, the Book of Mormon compliments and supports the teachings of the Bible, not replaces it.

Just as the Bible is a record of God's dealings with people in the Eastern hemisphere, which includes the prophecies, birth, ministry, teachings, crucifiction, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the savior of the world, the Book of Mormon contains writings from people who lived in the Western Hemisphere.

The writings of the Book of Mormon contain the histories of these people from about the time of the tower of Babel, to about 400 AD. The prophets in the book testify of Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world, and record His dealings with them. Found in the Book of Mormon are prophecies of Jesus' birth, ministry from prophets, and a first hand account of the natural disasters that occurred following His crucifiction. Following His resurrection, the Savior visited the people in the Western hemisphere, and taught the His gospel. This event is recorded in the 3 Nephi 11 in the Book of Mormon.

What book in The Book Of Mormon is the same as Genisus?

There is no book in the Book of Mormon that is the same as Genesis. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) use the Bible, so there is no need to duplicate it in the Book of Mormon. The Book of Moses in the Pearl of Great Price is similar. It is not exactly the same because it has more detail.The Pearl of Great Price is also considered a book of scripture in the Church, in addition to the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Doctrine & Covenants.You can compare the books at the "Related Link" below.


How are the book of Mormon and the quran the same?

They are both religious texts considered scripture by their believers, but otherwise they are not very similar. The Qur'an is comperable to the Bible and has some similar stories. Because Mormons use both the Bible and the Book of Mormon, there was no need to repeat the Bible stories in the Book of Mormon.

Does the Bible does talk about the Book of Mormon?

Yes or no, depending on whether you are a Mormon -Isaiah 29:11-12 contains an oracle of a book that the recipient could not read because he was illiterate. If this is to be read as a prophecy of a book yet to be compiled, it could be a prophecy of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Bible, but Mormons prefer to read it as a direct reference to the Book of Mormon.
