A Brief Explanation about The Book of Mormon
Who translated the book of Mormon into spanish?
Daniel Webster Jones and Mileton G. Trejo first began translating sections of the Book of Mormon into Spanish in 1874. They raised money to publish 2,000 copies of "Choice Selections from the Book of Mormon" and brought this translation with them on a mission to Mexico.
The first complete translation of the Book of Mormon into Spanish was completed in 1886 by Mileton G. Trejo and James Z. Stewart. This was later revised by Rey L. Pratt and Eduardo Balderas. Balderas was named the Church's chief Spanish translator and later made minor revisions to the Book of Mormon in 1949, 1969, and 1980.
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.
How many times is word hope in the Book of Mormon?
The word "hope" is found in 53 verses in the Book of Mormon, sometimes being used more than once in a verse.
How many words where spoken by Jesus Christ in the Book of Mormon?
I looked up "Jesus" on the lds.org scripture search and got 165 scripture references from the Book of Mormon. Many of the scripture references used Jesus's name more than once and I didn't count all of those.
However, there are many other names for "Jesus." Some of them are:
Christ
Savior
Advocate
Redeemer
The Lamb
The Lamb of God
Lord
Prince of Peace
Messiah
Deliverer
There are also many others. Just using "Jesus" will not get the complete reference collection, as Jesus is refered to by many other names.
Was the book of Mormon inspired by Jesus Christ?
This is up to your personal opinion. Mormons believe that the Book of Mormon is the Word of God, and that it is a testament of Jesus Christ to be used side-by-side with the Bible. They encourage everyone to read the book and decide for themselves.
The original writers of the Book of Mormon (between 600 BC and 400 AD) were prophets who were lead by Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ himself also makes a personal appearance in the Book of Mormon, after his resurrection and ascension. Mormons believe that it was translated into English by Joseph Smith by the power and inspiration of Jesus Christ.

How many times is Jesus Christ mentioned in the Book of Mormon?
The word faith is said several hundred times. It is mentioned in 109 chapters, but I couldn't possibly start to count how many times it is individually mentioned. You can read all the verses which mention the word faith at scriptures.lds.org by searching the word "faith" in the Book of Mormon.
According to the Book of Mormon where did the Native-American race come from?
The term "black race" is normally used to refer to people from Africa - mostly south of the Sahara. Since there is no interaction with these people in the book (it deals exclusively with people in what is now the Middle-East and the Americas) it would be most accurate to say that it says nothing on the subject.
==========
Opinion: no answer The Book of Mormon doesn't offer any information on this subject.
Opinion: source of the "red" race 2 Nephi 5:21 "And he [God] had caused the cursing to come upon them ... wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them."
The Book of Mormon says that the Lamanites (purportedly ancestors of some of the Native Americans) were wicked and their curse was to have dark skin but later on it says that they become righteous and the curse was lifted off the righteous people
Opinion: descended from Cain This doctrine comes from the Pearl of Great Price, not the Book of Mormon.
Moses 7:22 "And Enoch also beheld the residue of the people which were the sons of Adam; and they were a mixture of all the seed of Adam save it was the seed of Cain, for the seed of Cain were black, and had not place among them."
Abraham 1:21-26 "Now this king of Egypt was a descendant from the loins of Ham, and was a partaker of the blood of the Canaanites by birth. From this descent sprang all the Egyptians, and thus the blood of the Canaanites was preserved in the land. The land of Egypt being first discovered by a woman, who was the daughter of Ham, and the daughter of Egyptus, which in the Chaldean signifies Egypt, which signifies that which is forbidden; When this woman discovered the land it was under water, who afterward settled her sons in it; and thus, from Ham, sprang that race which preserved the curse in the land. Now the first government of Egypt was established by Pharaoh, the eldest son of Egyptus, the daughter of Ham, and it was after the manner of the government of Ham, which was patriarchal. Pharaoh, being a righteous man, established his kingdom and judged his people wisely and justly all his days, seeking earnestly to imitate that established by the fathers in the first generations, in the days of the first patriarchal reign, even in the reign of Adam, and also of Noah, his father, who blessed him with the blessing of the earth, and with the blessings of wisdom, but cursed him as pertaining to the Priesthood.
Opinion: unknown
Many Mormons will purport that Blacks came from the seed of Cain, however, this doctrine is false and is not supported in any Standard Works of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Those who believe such doctrine are functioning on assumptions and not actually studying the doctrine stated in the Scriptures.
Opinion: racial equality
The Book of Mormon offers no answer to this question. In fact the best passage that discusses it states that Blacks and Whites, and all other people, are equal in the eyes of God. Christ "inviteth them all to comeunto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile." (2 Nephi 26:33)

Who was mormon's father in the book of Mormon?

Why did Mormons abolish polygamy?
Early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) practiced polygamy because they believed that God had revealed to Joseph Smith that the Biblical practice of polygamy was to be restored. They ended the practice in 1890 after a later prophet, Wilford Woodruff, said he had received a revelation from God to end the practice.
You can read the official answer to this question from the Church, as well as answers from Mormon church members at the "Related Links" below. You can also read the revelations restoring and ending the practice of polygamy in the Church.

How many pages in the Book of Nephi?

What is the longest name in the book of Mormon?
The Brother of Jared whose name was revealed to Joseph Smith to be the name:Mahonri Moriancumer
Although specifically the full name does not exist within the Book of Mormon, part of the name remains within the Book itself as it can be found within Ether 2: 13
13 And now I proceed with my record; for behold, it came to pass that the Lord did bring Jared and his brethren forth even to that great sea which divideth the lands. And as they came to the sea they pitched their tents; and they called the name of the place Moriancumer; and they dwelt in tents, and dwelt in tents upon the seashore for the space of four years.
AnswerMahonri Moriancumer is the longest name but is not mentioned as the previous answer stated. The longest person's names which are not also found in the Bible are eleven letters long: Gidgiddonah and Zerahemnah. The longest name for a group of people is Anti-Nephi-Lehi, at thirteen letters. There are three names which are quoted in Biblical scriptures which are also eleven characters long: Jeberechiah, Melchizedek, and Shearjashub. Technically, the longest name mentioned in the Book of Mormon is Maher-shalal-hash-baz, at seventeen letters, but that is only in the Book of Mormon as scripture quoted from the Bible.Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) believe that an angel named Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith, Jr when he was in his late teens and showed him in vision the place where the plates were buried. He went to this place for several years on the same day to receive direction from the angel before he was allowed to take them home to begin translation. In all, four men, including Joseph, touched and handled the plates, with an additional eight seeing them but not holding them. Others saw or carried the plates while they were covered with a cloth, as they were not to be exposed to anyone's veiw without express permission from God.
The plates are described by those who saw or held them as being gold in color, held together by three D-shaped rings, weighing about 40 to 60 pounds, six to seven inches wide by about eight inches long and four to six inches thick, with each piece being about as thick as parchment or thick paper (like cardstock). About 2/3 of the pages were sealed up so that they could not be opened. There were very small engravings covering both sides of each page that were meant to be read from right to left.
These plates were translated by the power of God into the Book of Mormon, which is considered by members of the Church as being equally as sacred as the Bible.
How many times are the words repentance and repent used in the Book of Mormon?
The word "repent" and its most common forms is found over 120 times in the Book of Mormon, including chapter headings. One of the great sermons regarding repentance is the testimony of the prophet Amulek as found in Alma chapter 34.
How long is the Book of Mormon Musical?
Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes, not including intermission.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") believe The Book of Mormon was translated from ancient metal plates by Joseph Smith, Jr. They believe that he was lead to the place where the plates were buried by an angel. They were buried in a hill near his home in Palmyra, New York. The hill is now called the Hill Cumorah.

Is the Book of Mormon the word of God?
The Book of Mormon is a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible. It is a record of God's dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and contains, as does the Bible, the fulness of the everlasting gospel.
The book was written by many ancient prophets by the spirit of prophecy and revelation. Their words, written on gold plates, were quoted and abridged by a prophet-historian named Mormon. The record gives an account of two great civilizations. One came from Jerusalem in 600 B.C., and afterward separated into two nations, known as the Nephites and the Lamanites. The other came much earlier when the Lord confounded the tongues at the Tower of Babel. This group is known as the Jaredites. After thousands of years, all were destroyed except the Lamanites, and they are the principal ancestors of the American Indians.
The crowning event recorded in the Book of Mormon is the personal ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ among the Nephites soon after his resurrection. It puts forth the doctrines of the gospel, outlines the plan of salvation, and tells men what they must do to gain peace in this life and eternal salvation in the life to come.
After Mormon completed his writings, he delivered the account to his son Moroni, who added a few words of his own and hid up the plates in the hill Cumorah.
