Let's consider the subject of history on the whole; Does an absolutely comprehensive, entirely truthful history of any event or moment in recorded human history exist? No. Such a work would require an omniscient author. That is why the Book of Mormon is an abridgment and not merely a compilation. Last edited by tooblue; 01-24-2007 at 05:14 PM. |

Again, the entire book as a whole is an abridgment. Why were only the Isaiah writings included? Furthermore we are only permitted access to a small portion of the abridgment. The remainder of Mormons work was sealed. I agree with what you wrote in another thread that the Book of Mormon is not a history ... in a traditional sense. So why then attemp, as though it were a round peg, to force it into a square hole? |

What is the mainstream date for 2nd Isaiah that you are rigorously defending?
Your argument seems to be 1. You claim that Nephi was responsible for all the Isaiah chapters in 2nd Nephi. 2. You seem to claim that 2nd Isaiah was written after either the death of Nephi or after they left Jerusalem (not sure which) and that there is no way that Nephi had access to that chapter. Obviously, at least one of the two is false. Which one is it? |

I do struggle with your regimented scholarly thought process. You seem fully prepared to dissect the sections of the Book of Mormon and place them in separate silos. Yet, that directly contradicts the stated purpose of what the book purports to be … And ultimately it is a fruitless intellectual endeavor as it feels like you have missed the point.
