Author Joseph Dean Debarthe's Newly Released "Biblical and Non-Biblical Evidences for the Book of Mormon" Is a Provocative Argument on Behalf of the Controversial Work
"Biblical and Non-Biblical Evidences for the Book of Mormon That Show Its Validity as Scripture: A Layman's Thesis" from Christian Faith Publishing author Joseph Dean DeBarthe is an effort to provide enough support from the Bible and other sources to prove the authenticity of the Book of Mormon as a divinely inspired work.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Oct. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Biblical and Non-Biblical Evidences for the Book of Mormon That Show Its Validity as Scripture: A Layman's Thesis" is a scripture-based guide to discussing the Book of Mormon with the broader Christian community. "Biblical and Non-Biblical Evidences for the Book of Mormon That Show Its Validity as Scripture: A Layman's Thesis" is the creation of published author Joseph Dean DeBarthe, a US Navy veteran and fourth-generation member of the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints. He currently lives in Independence, Missouri, with his wife, Maria, who is a Registered Nurse of Mayan descent.
DeBarthe shares, "What about the Book of Mormon? That it is a controversial book cannot be denied. Many do not accept it as scripture. They believe that Joseph Smith, Jr., "wrote" it. They also believe that the Bible is the only scripture ever written, but nowhere does the Bible make that claim. This belief is not biblical. In fact, just the opposite is true. The Bible testifies to the existence of other written scriptures and specifically a second scripture written about the tribe of Joseph (Ezekiel 37:19). This Joseph is the same Joseph of the coat of many colors, the same Joseph sold into slavery in Egypt and the same Joseph that saved Egypt and all of the tribes of Israel from the seven-year famine that occurred.
Due to his lack of knowledge and education, if Joseph Smith, Jr., had written The Book of Mormon, it would have been disproven years ago. Instead, as time passes, more and more of it is proven to be correct. Joseph Smith could not have written it for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that he was a barely literate man. He knew very little of the scriptures and no Hebrew at all. Yet The Book of Mormon is clearly written by highly educated men with a strong background in Hebrew customs and writing techniques, none of which were known by any American in the 1800s. More information on this subject will be explored within this book.
This book was begun by direction of the Holy Spirit and written to the entire body of Christ. Some might ask why they should read it. Some will read it to try to refute it; others will read it to learn, and still others will use it to further their own agendas. However, you should read it and pray over it, asking God through His Holy Spirit to give you a witness as to its validity.
We need direction from the Holy Spirit because we are always vulnerable to error. Even prophets can be deceived (2 Chronicles, Chapter 18). Satan will do anything he can to prevent us from gaining unity in our fight against him. For years he has used the "divide and conquer" plan, and we have fallen prey to it. It is time we stop fighting over our petty differences and start working together for the salvation of all mankind. The harvest is plentiful; it is time to bring it in, and we can do it! With the help of God through His Son Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit, we can accomplish what would otherwise be impossible on our own."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Joseph Dean DeBarthe's new book is an accessible effort to help people understand what the Book of Mormon has to offer as a divinely inspired work, in contrast to the widely held belief that it was written by Joseph Smith.
