The authenticity of the writings in the Holy Bible has been proven through archaeological and historical records. It is said of the scriptures in the Holy Bible that they will stay true and survive to the end of time.
The Book of Mormon belongs to the top 10 best-selling books of all time. It was published by Joseph Smith in AD. He said that an angel appeared to him to inform him of the location of the plates and instructed him to translate them to English.

Dick Harfield Dick Harfield I can't find the quote at the moment, but I recall reading that all those "Ands" are actually a grammatical necessity in the ancient Egyptian language, which the Book of Mormon narrative claims to have used as a basis for their writing due to its great compactness.
MasonWheeler Mormon tells us that the books were written in the Hebrew language, only using Egyptian characters for conciseness. In other words, there is no suggestion that the Egyptian language syntax, grammar, etc were involved. One of the biggest differences is that there are actually several commonly accepted 'Bible's, though they share a lot of the same books, and the formation process of the Bible and what books different Churches include in it is examinable from a historical standpoint.
There is only one 'version', so to speak, of the BoM i. The canon of the Book of Mormon was arranged by the Prophet Mormon. More than once in the BofM Mormon states: "I cannot write the hundredth part of the things of my people.
The resulting BofM is a hundredth part of the records in the New World that were available to him. ShemSeger and thedarkwander. You may have completed your conversation about the diversity of content in the BoM to your mutual satisfaction; if so, good. If not, please continue in a chat room. Comments placed here should be those that might helpful in improving my answer. So here is what they have in common : They are both volumes of scripture written by prophets.
Millions of people study and believe in each, though manifestly at least X more people accept the Bible than the BOM. Both were written over a very large span of time. Here are the significant points of difference between the Bible and the Book of Mormon: The Book of Mormon contains a consistent theme from start to finish: persuading people to believe and follow Jesus Christ. The Bible has numerous sections that are non-doctrinal in nature, such as historical, proverbial, and legalistic.
The Book of Mormon has elements of these as well, but is mostly either doctrinal on the surface, or contains doctrinal undertones. Nearly all Mormons believe that both are the word of God. BOM prophetic writers frequently make reference to the Bible, especially to the writings of Isaiah.
Nearly everything in the Bible takes place in the Middle East. While the Book of Mormon begins in Jerusalem, describing a family that flees the city into the desert, the vast majority takes place on the ancient American continent long before the term "America" existed.
The Book of Mormon was translated from a single collection of ancient metal plates, and all within a single year.
The Bible was pieced together over thousands of years and translated by many different people. Your 12th point is comparing apples to oranges. You start by talking about translation of the BoM then say the Bible was pieced together over thousands of years. You are referring to different things. The rest is fine. Did you get this from a source, by the way, or is this all original?
