Is the Book of Mormon God's Word?

On the cover of a copy of the Book of Mormon the subtitle reads, “Another Testament of Jesus Christ.” Is this claim accurate?

The Bible claim. Hebrews 9:15-17 teaches that Jesus’ death put His will, the New Testament, in force upon His death. “And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.

Can a man have two wills? The New Testament claims to be the “testament” or will of the “testator.” On the cover of the Book of Mormon, it claims to be “another testament” of Jesus Christ. If a man dies and leaves 2 wills or testaments, the courts must decide which one is the true last will and testament.

Examine the evidence. Jesus has only one will. The Book of Mormon cannot be “another testament of Jesus Christ.” It is either the testament of Jesus Christ or it is a fraud. Examine the evidence for the Bible and the Book of Mormon. See for yourself which one is supported by prophetic, literary and archaeological accuracy. In the end you will see that the evidence for the Bible is solid and strong while the evidence for the Book of Mormon is severely lacking.

Jesus has but one will or testament. It is His new testament, put in force upon His death. It is the will of God for your life. You need to examine it, know it and follow it.
