hey but it's better that they know the truth rather than they go to hell for having faith in a false religion. don't stop praying for these people, they need our prayers. God will work in their lives bringing them to salvation. Amen
Heather Smith he doesn't need to. lol all you need to do is look at the circumstances surrounding its creation. all sham and trickery. not only that but,mormons make historical claims that their religion hinge on such as Jews from Jesus time coming to america. that claim cannot be verified and there historical sites they claim events in the BOM occurs cannot be verified in the slightest. so no you don't have to read the BOM to know it's crap.
