This is an absolutely brilliant video! A combination of strong evidence paired with how the Book of Mormon can change lives. Thanks to everyone at Scripture Central and the team who are producing these videos and testifying of Jesus Christ. Keep up the great work!
Is this just a bot?
@@archangel_one Haha, well I admittedly have a bit of a dull personality, but hopefully haven't reached bot status yet! No, I commented because I am sincerely grateful for the kind of content that Scripture Central produces, and I felt this video, in particular, was wonderful, because it not only provides a few evidences of the Book of Mormon, but far more importantly, Scott Christopher's testimony of the book comes through loud and clear. No one can prove the Book of Mormon true with physical evidence, and no one can prove it false with physical evidence either. The only way to know if the book is the word of God is to ask God himself. I have done that and received my answer, and it changed my life. So when Scott testifies he has done and felt the same thing, I am simply grateful. Hence, my comment. I hope that answered your question.
@@AnsweringLDSCritics-pw3bq Hey, thanks for the thoughtful answer. I was actually hoping for that. It did rather sound like you were giving your approval of the video, regardless of content -- which I am hoping is not the case.
But, the LDS says that the Book of Mormon is incorrect, like when it says Jesus is God. The LDS believe that Jesus is a god, God is just a mere god, etc. That they were merely exalted beings.
As far as I am aware, the Book of Mormon does not teach that God was just a man and that men will become gods, but the LDS does?
I've been watching evidence videos and so far there is NO evidence that the LDS or Book of Mormon is true (other than when or where it quotes the KJV). And the fact that the KJV is in the BoM really bothers me.
When I saw all those chapters of Isaiah, the first thing I thought was "it's a lie, it's all fake" but that part didn't bother me as the obvious conclusion which was, "...and the Mormons obviously know this."
I didn't expect there to be evidence, but if there was any, I would be okay with acknowledging it. But the only evidence I've found so far screams "not the Word of God" and "not from a man of God."
If it is true, finding evidence shouldn't be so impossible.
This sounds crazy, but I've died, Jesus appeared and escorted me home to God. Of course, how does one have evidence of this? But at the same time, I have much more evidence than the LDS or Joseph Smith had, and, as far as I am aware, it was not a dream, vision, or an NDE, because I've had both, and it was not like them -- this was very real.
And yet, I am a man of God -- not perfect -- but the LDS would never hear me or Jesus Christ, unless we matched the Joseph.
This bothers the Almighty God, I am sure, which is why it bothers me.
@@emperorpalpatine358 Thank you. I love Jesus, and the Truth, and my goal is to bring everyone to Christ because He is the only way to Almighty God.
Strong evidences! 😂
I am one of the Great grandson’s of Meliton Gonzalez Trejo. He was the first translator of the Book of Mormon into Spanish. I grew up learning about his early life just outside of Madrid. His sacrifice and conversion story has been inspiring to all of his family members. I have read the Book of Mormon several times and know it true. I encourage everyone to read it and sincerely pray to know its truthfulness.
Thank you for sharing! What an amazing pioneer you have in your family! I’ve heard about Meliton Gonzalez Trejo before. My husband is from Peru (where he had joined the church). He is one of the millions of Spanish speaking members who has benefited from your great grandfather’s inspired translation and testimony. ❤
That is wonderful!!! Thank you for sharing 🤍
He’s my triple great grandpa too!! Nice to meet you, cuz 😊 Melitón’s story is miraculous
I love that name. Such a marvelous work he did translating the Book of Mormon into Spanish. 🙏
We are so grateful for the time he spent translating the Book of Mormon. What a blessing!
in 1999 a friend gave me the Gospel Principles manual. In it I would often be referred to 1 Nep, 2 Nep, Hel etc etc. I couldn't find a place to read these verses I was been referred to and it troubled me like a craving inside. I must have read the manual in a day, cause the following day, I got up was walking to the Library (about 5 km away) to find the Book containing these verses the manual was referring me to. That's when I met my friend on the way (he was from School) hardly before I could even make the first 100 meters of my trip. Curious about my trip, and in response to my replies regarding where and what I was going to do, he informed me he has the book I was looking for, it was in his house. I don't remember much about my reading the Book of Mormon, I just know I loved it, I'm one of those converts that has never had to pray about it. It hit me before I could even lay hands on it. I went looking for it. Nobody told me about it. My love for it today is just growing stronger.
Thank you for sharing your story. It is powerful
Your story reminds me of the one by Parley P Pratt .
That's awesome. It's true that sometimes you're not knocking, seeking, or asking but He opens up to you anyway. Pretty sweet.
It's who you are already.
You knew already.
But there is a reason for that.
Remeber that in the hard times.
Wonderful testimony!
My hubby read The Book of Mormon to prove it wrong to some LDS friends he knew.
He had a humbling, sacred experience and knew it was true. He was baptized 34 years ago and never stops testifying to anyone who will listen to him, the power, truth, light and testimony of Christ found in it.
I love it so much too! ❤☀️
Watching from Uganda.have read the book of Mormon many times it still stands very true no one will come to know its truthfulness until he humble him self and dive deep reading it.i thank God for the book of Mormon
@@Surelyserious1 name a church that you can’t pick apart their history. Churches came about from the only perfect person ever but the rest of us are only striving. Except for you obviously.
@@Surelyserious1 Imperfect people is all that God has had to work with since the beginning of time. Of course church history is messy because people are messy. Reading the Bible or studying literally anything in history makes this very clear, I would expect nothing less. The fact that miracles and a great work like the Book of Mormon can still happen despite the imperfections and short comings of people is the profound evidence of the goodness of God.
I couldn’t agree more brother
@@Surelyserious1 all I have done for the past many years is study the history of the church in depth, and my testimony has only been strengthened. The restoration of the gospel has brought light and knowledge to this world. Without it, life now would be pretty much as it was in 1830.
Very well said. The book of Mormon is a blessing and a miracle in of itself. Thank you for your testimony.
Both my Mother (at age 13) and wife (at age 19) are converts to the Church. My wife later served a mission because of the power of the Book of Mormon. It has changed my life in so many ways. We are on our 3rd missionary child who is at this time serving in Australia. She has expressed how much the Book of Mormon influenced her decision. I love this video so much and can't wait for the next episode.
Isn't the BOM the BEST??
[105] *Joseph Smith would put the seer stone into a hat, and put his face in the hat, drawing it closely around his face to exclude the light; and in the darkness the spiritual light would shine. A piece of something resembling parchment would appear, and on that appeared the writing. One character at a time would appear, and under it was the interpretation in English. Brother Joseph would read off the English to Oliver Cowdery, who was his principle scribe, and when it was written down and repeated to Brother Joseph to see if it was correct, then it would disappear, and another character with the interpretation would appear. Thus the Book of Mormon was translated by the gift and power of God, and not by any power of man."

Thank you. I gained my testimony of the Book of Mormon when I was fifteen years old and I joined the restored gospel. I am now 63 years old. I find it important to have a testimony of the Book of Mormon to survive spiritually in the world.
I am a member from India, and very happy to see this channel collecting evidence of the BOOK OF MORMON. I really liked your interview and input by the Rabbi in this episode. Looking forward to more such videos.
We've been waiting weeks in anticipation for the next episode. Thank you for all your work with this series. Excellent production!

READ THE SEALED PORTION
I am watching from Nigeria and this is strengthening my faith.
What a beautiful episode. The woman's story in Spain with her husband's desire to find the missionaries had me cry. I read the book, but I need to be more grateful for what I have! Also, the illustration part of the video was SO awesome! I wish every story in the BOM had it explained like that (for younger learners), I understood the allegory better than ever from that. Thank you❤
We loved that story too! Thanks for your support and following along!
Im so thrilled with these Evidences of the Book of Mormon! I read it over and over again, amazed at the many spiritual depths there are in these sacred records!! Thank you for all the “ah-has” you are showing us! I love the bloopers at the end!!😂
Thanks for following along! The bloopers are great 😂
I love this series. Can't wait until the next episode.
This is amazing and so well done! The spirit was so strong when Julia was talking, and you could really see how the Book of Mormon had changed her life. I have also taken Moroni's challenge and have asked God and know that the Book of Mormon is true and it does truly change lives!
Isn't it great?? And that Julia was SUCH a sweetheart. We had some good laughs together.
@@thescottchristopher can’t wait for the next episode!
This is such a Marvelous Work🙏❤️🫰Thank you scripture central for putting up this kind of Documentary it helps the people who's looking for truth and the divinity of the Book Of Mormon.

read the sealed portion from the marvelous work and a wonder
I loved the Jacob 5 explanation and animations. What a wonderful testimony of the Spanish lady and her husband. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wonderful. Hidden treasures of knowledge indeed
Amazing content and stories. I feel the spirit of the Book of Mormon all the time.
This was a wonderful episode and a great surprise ! I am from Barcelona and I am not sure if we met since I may have not been there during your mission. The amazing surprise was to see Julia ! Carlos was our bishop and he shared his amazing conversion story with us.
I am truly grateful for my own story and for having the gospel in my life. There are many personal miracles that happen to us that testify with the spirit the truth of the restored gospel. I thank you ( all in this endeavor) for bringing us other proofs and knowledge that the translation of the Book of Mormon was a miracle in itself .
Muchísimas gracias ! 🙏
I served there under President Fenn 86-88.
Thank you for sharing!
@@Bookofmormoncentralofficial. Great videos! Truly enjoying them!
Loving these.
This was great. Loved the testimony of the BOM at the end. Reminded me of the story of Parley Prat not being able to put the BOM down.
Is the reason there is no evidence because an angel took it all away?
Thanks for watching
I think you mean, there is no evidence that you accept as evidence. There, fixed it for you. Thanks for your help with the algorithm. @mikkifrompreston4396
@@CrackedCandy haha im here to help :)
Where are the plates or any tiny piece of evidence of ANY of the BoM civilisations?
@mikkifrompreston4396 I read this without context then read the thread. Thought you were making a joke. Bruh, it's allll over. Never heard of Rod Meldrum, Brad Cooper or ward radio? Some people are willfully ignorant? You probably were told to not read the Book of Mormon because "that's how they get you." Like what the what? Yeah, you might feel the spirit or have some questions answered from it. Can't have that. Can't pray about it either because God might answer your prayer and can't have that. Probably never heard of David Alexander either. Evangelical who started 9 churches, was in deep for 47 years then read the book and was like, what? Finally! Quit kicking against the pricks. God Loves you (you know that) and this is his people, but, look at the fruits. No, can't do that!
This is so interesting! I am excited you created this show. Thankyou 💕
You are so welcome!
The info regarding the Olive Trees and grafting is so interesting and wonderful to learn. I've been a member for over 49 yrs and never completely understood Jacob 5. This series is amazing. Thank you souch for doing this.
Thank you for following along!
Scott spoke at my wards institute last night. What an amazing guy and example.
Thanks Austin--you guys were so kind!
Is Scott also an actor? He seems so familiar.
These first two videos are fantastic, and Scott Christopher is perfect in narration..
Thanks so much! :)
This is fabulous, I haven’t heard some of these points anywhere else.
Many thanks, Rabbi, for your thoughts and insights.
Another fantastic video!!! Thank you so much!
I learned so much from this discussion and the Rabbi's marvelous commentary, thank you
This is a beautifully done video. Thank you for taking us on these travels to Spain. I love the book of Mormon and the power that it possesses. It’s absolutely amazing.
We are so glad you like it 😁
Excited for episode 2!!!
Great episode! So many great perspectives from multiple angles. Very testimony building!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The intro music gets me every time. :)
It's great right!?!?
It was good... but too short! We need more!
More to come!
@@Bookofmormoncentralofficial 😁🥰
Love these videos! I’m gonna share this link with my family.
Awesome! Thank you!
Scott, a fan of yours here. Your family is very kind. They donated to me the F-150 I use now, gave me a friend a few years ago (Tyler), & much more. You come from a good family & your service in the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ is inspirational. Keep doing the good you're doing! It's building what matters most
P.S. had some friends run into you at Moon's the other day 😂
Thanks for the kind words
Really loving this series! I saw you posted an extended interview with Bro. Perry, if it's possible to share the extended version of the interview with Rabbi Joe Charnes, that would be amazing. I could have listened to so much more of that!
It's coming soon.
This is an excellent video on this topic. Superb content on the Book of Mormon from several different angles (ancient nature; lives changed, etc.). And, extremely well-produced!
In my own conversion, the Book of Mormon played an important part. I am glad to see this book treated in this manner.
Thank you. The Book of Mormon is incredible!
Bro Scott your efforts are a marvelous work & wonder to me! Thank You fordoing & sharing with all of us ! Blessings to You 🥰🙏
You're so dang welcome! It's such an honor to be part of this important project.
Beautiful footage!
Wonderful video. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm really enjoying this series. I already believe, but it's cool to see the other evidence and connections being made.
Love it so much! Loved the Rabbis perspective! Thank you so much. Can't wait for the next one😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was really great. I loved hearing Julia's story. And Scott is such a great host.
Thanks for following along!
Great episode!
I love this….. so many little pearls that are so precious. I’m studying the book of Mormon now and I’m linking it to things and places in the Americas but more importantly, I’m starting to understand really for the first time the bigger picture and the number of human beings that has lived and is now living on earth …is vast. All these words written in this abridged book of records and spiritual teachings will save us, if we just open our minds and hearts and embrace them. It has already saved me, and I have grown so much closer to my savior, to the point I feel that I know him personally now. I even have feelings of great admiration, love and respect for people talked about in the book of Mormon such as Lehi, Nephi, Jacob, Alma, and Morroni. I’m still reading, and I have a long way to go, but I’m taking my time digesting each verse, chapter, and page. I’m reading 2 Nephi now where he is quoting Isaiah and I am realizing for the first time that I actually understand what Isaiah is saying. Hallelujah.
Thank you for sharing your testimony! The Book of Mormon is so special
@@Bookofmormoncentralofficial , come on! You can do better than that. It is beyond special… It is amazing, miraculous, uplifting, enlightening, touching, powerful and beautiful.
Hearing the Jewish Rabbi’s words and all the Hebrew connections are absolutely wonderful.
He doesn't believe the book of Mormon is true or ancient Scripture fyi. Joseph was dictating a book of American Scripture and mimicked the king James translation of the Bible because it's what he was familiar with.
@@joewest7813 why are you telling me this?
@@chasingagreenlife9527 because Scripture Central is intentionally misrepresenting "hebraisms" and Rabbi Joe's interpretation of the book of Mormon and people deserve truth
@@joewest7813 ok I see what you mean. I believe they’re intentionally just doing their best and providing insight into the the Book of Mormon, and this Rabbi they interviewed clearly seems like a good guy and didn’t make any official statements. As for the Hebraisms, the records come from descendants of ancient Hebrews, so there’s always possibility of anything in that area being used in the Book of Mormon.
I’m not sure exactly why you picked me to say this all to. I do study these things on my own accord. I take nothing at perfect value, as all humans have fault.
Have a good day.
@chasingagreenlife9527 They also released a wonderful follow-up 32 “Extended Interview” that I think you will enjoy. Blessings
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
This was so inspiring and fun. I found myself smiling and sniffling a bit - very enjoyable and enlightening, too. Thank you. ❤
You are so welcome!
I wish you have this episode and the future ones in Spanish
You can turn on Spanish subtitles but hopefully we will have them in Spanish one day!
Awesome!
Thank you for sharing this information it’s wonderful 😊
Fascinating!

Watching from Philippines 💚
I love this! Thank you.
Brilliant! Fascinating! Thank you!

Wonderful episode.
I really like this history about the Book of Mormon
Love these videos so much! Can hardly wait for the next one. Thank you so much!!! Fascinating info that warms my heart and my testimony. Appreciate your work on these!
You are so welcome!
Awesome episode!
Amazing! Thanks for these stories and episodes. While I know the Book of Mormon is true, these episodes just provide even more solidification of testimony. A fun way to learn more. You could not get a better guy to narrate than Scott.
thanks for watching
Atta boy Scott. Keep it up.
Thanks Brother Christopher! I’m a big fan of your work. Everything I know about grafting/propagation I learned from Jacob 5.
wonderful production!
Back in November, I did a deep dive in Jacob 5. I've been wanting to find a video that explains grafting, bad fruit, ect. to help me be able to better visualize the Allogory of the Olive Teee. I very much appreciate your gift to all who take the time to listen and learn from your hard work and testimony. I loved the story of the sister who shared her husband and their conversation story.
I love humor , playfulness & bloopers at the end of programs (usually). I loved this documentary so much!
Unfortunately for me mixing the bloopers at the end felt inappropriate, as you were sharing sacred and special evidences throughout the documentary. Then bloopers about those sacred moments from the making just rubbed me really weird and almost discounted the sacredness of what was being shared.
Just a thought, I’m prob weird.
Thanks for the incredible work, research, time and energy dedicated to the production of such wonderful truths! Loved it so much!
Sorry for the negative feedback. 🫣
What a treasure this documentary series is!
Wooohooo! Hoorah for Israel! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the rest of the documentary!
Thank you 😊❤
Joseph was an expert on olive trees. That’s the only explanation. 😂 great video. Keep them coming.
Never thought of the word vineyard instead of orchard. You just read over it. But you’re right. It’s weird if you don’t know anything about it.
None of it is weird if you understand that the book Joseph Smith was most familiar with, and the book he emulated and copied from was the King James Bible. Olives, vineyards, it came to passes, etc it's all in the kjv.
Thanks for another awesome episode
Thanks for following along!
So Beautiful ❤
I just can't get over how great these videos are! I'm going to be on the edge of my seat waiting for every next episode.
This is great! I hope you create more content like this. You might try to explore the HOUSE OF LEHI.
The stick of Joseph might be covering that.
We have big plans, obviously the situation in the Middle East has been difficult lately. Thanks for watching!
❤amazing
I loved you in "The Best Two Years" and "The Singles Ward"
Thanks.
@thescottchristopher oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! The part in the best 2 years when you were just sobbing was easy to channel because all you have to do is feel how much God loves us and how awesome the book of Morom is. I honestly ugly cried during this video a couple times and had to watch in a couple takes because it's just so good and evokes the spirit. Funny enough, some guy just commented how there isn't any evidence for the bom. Like how can you just be that willfully ignorant? On this video?
@@CrackedCandy Well said.
I Love this series!
Beautiful video!
Love this!
I loved the testimony Julia shared, how the Book of Mormon changed their family’s life and was the truth they had been searching the world for. I felt the Holy Ghost strongly as she shared their story experiences. The Book of Mormon has changed my life and taught me so much about Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father’s perfect plan. My recommendation to Scripture Central would be to talk about Jesus Christ more in every segment. Maybe you talk about it more than I have noticed, but you could emphasize Jesus Christ more in every segment. I love the show, though, and appreciate your dedication to sharing The Book of Mormon with the world!
Great suggestion!
Thank you for the support and the suggestion!
Those olive trees blossoming have such a sweet smell. So much so, I am planting some in my yard in Texas.
I was moved and touched by the Holy Ghost again while watching and listening to this. Hearing and listening to other conversion stories on how the Book of Mormon helps them to recognize the Truth from the Holy Ghost, it strengthens mine and helps me to recall and recall the sacred experiences that I had since I received the witness last 2013 when I turned 15 years old. I can't deny the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon that testifies and focuses on Jesus Christ, His restored Gospel which is the fulness, evidence of His great love, grace and mercy, and the perfect plan of God was verily explained in a simple way. I feel it! Because the Holy Ghost testifies the truth in my heart and my mind because I accepted and followed the invitation in Moroni 10:3-5. I encourage and invite you to do so and I do know that you will receive the sweet, joyful and hopeful feeling about the Truthfulness of the Book of Mormon that this is His Another Testament which is His words! 🥹🥹🥹
Thank you for this wonderful comment.
SHARING THIS CHANNEL TO PASTOR JEFF! ❤❤❤
Please do :)
It doesn't matter what you show him. His position will remain as it is.
Love your video! I download the video’s and listen to them as I work out in the well fields of Wyoming. If possible, it would be helpful to have a voiceover translation for us non-Spanish speakers to listen to as I work! 😅
Great suggestion! Thanks for listening!
Wonderful to see and be reminded of the power of the Book of Mormon. Grateful to share in that fellowship.
Evidences, stories, testimonies. Perfect. I'm so glad that this isn't the last episode. Keep them coming! I love that Julia said the Book of Mormon appears where you least expect it. Her insight has me thinking . . .
We loved Julia's story!
This is the best series I have ever watched. It is increasing my testimony. Thank you!
Glad you like it!
I am so grateful for the Spirit of the when your heart was touched and you thought back on your mission in Spain. As far as I am concerned it was a. miracle.
The olive tree is really a beautiful tree. I lived in the low California desert for a number of years with a climate similar to the Holy Land. They even have a fresh water lake connected by a river to a salty sea. But, they also brought in the date tree, the olive tree, the tamarisk, and other plants. It was great to be able to walk through the desert listening to the Bible on my tape player and imagining walking beside the prophets.
This was a fairly informative video, but you just scratched the surface on each of the topics. Each topic was worth its own video.
The parable of the vineyard runs throughout the entire Bible. After the flood, the first thing Noah did was to plant a vineyard.
The purpose of the Book of Mormon is far greater than to convince you it is "true", and Joseph Smith was a prophet. It's purpose is to convince you that Jesus is the Christ, and the only way you can truly know that is to read the book, follow the teachings and experience the "mighty change of heart", "the remission of your sins", and baptism of the fire and the Holy Ghost, the experience with Christ in the flesh for yourself. This is what the Book of Mormon is for, and this is what it leads to. I so testify.
The writers of the Book of Mormon, Joseph, Oliver, the Three Witnesses, and the Eight Witnesses didn't go through all their travails, just to impress you. They did all that they did to present Christ to you and to hold Him up as the source unto which you should look for your salvation.
Thank you for your insightful comment.

I love the story of the spanish man crying as he read the Book of Mormon. It brings back my own memory of crying as I read and was touched by My Father in Heaven and assured of its truthfulness!! Thank you so much!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just got home from our Relief Society Broadcast. It was an amazing spiritual high. I fired up your video 2 here and boy, it was so emotional, I loved it all but it had me in tears when the olive vineyard was shown and when you interviewed Julia from Spain. No trouble to feel the Holy Ghost here. I think your time on this venture is well spent, I think so many souls will be touched by this work, together as saints, we are building the Lords Kingdom here on earth and every seed planted has the ability to reach beyond our imagination. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for taking the time to watch! We are so grateful for your support!
I am impressed by the evidence from the talk with Mr. Perry concerning the name Alma being a Jewish name from 122 AD. Nephi wrote in about 550 BC, so if you want further proof that the Book of Mormon is inspired and translated by Heavenly Father, just look at the dates between the Jewish history from the scroll found in caves near where the dead sea scrolls came from: Nephi/Maroni used the name Alma over 700 years prior to the Jewish reference.
pretty cool isn't it? Donald Parry has some amazing books on these things.
Joseph probably knew dozens of men named Alma. Jump on family search. It's an uncommon name for a boy today but it was quite common in New York in the 1800s
Wow I love your journey
Thank you!
Fantastic episode. We watch as a family. Can't wait for more!!!
Thank you for this episode! It was incredibly inspirational. You showed how the Book of Mormon not only has a place among great religious literary works, but also has a unique contribution to make :).
Thank you!
Interesting stuff. I’m not a member of the LDS but I’m interested in stuff like this. I read the Book of Mormon in the early 1970’s. Frankly it was tough to get all the way through it. I’m not a religious person so I was just curious. Same with the Quran. I read it out of curiosity.
We are glad you watched it! Thank you.
Can someone tell me where I can find the opening score of this video? The music is amazing. I want to listen to it full😅
We agree! The music is amazing! The music was composed by Ricky Valadez for this series. As of right now, it’s not available anywhere.
I first read Marvelous Work and Wonder before I read the BOM in its entirety. The BOM helped me understand things I knew as a 6 year old and at that age I didn't know why I knew the relationship of the Father and the Son. After reading the BOM it all came together.
