[BoM] The Book of Mormon Begins! Hidden Plates & Big Claims | Troll the Verse

Join us as we explore the beginning of The Book of Mormon, uncovering hidden plates and big claims. In this episode, we dive into Nephi's teachings, religious narratives, and the age-old debate of faith vs fact. Tune in for a critical analysis of LDS doctrine and scripture!

And so it begins… Our first reading into the Book of Mormon, the so-called "most correct book on Earth." Before we even hit Chapter One, we've already got missing books, hidden plates, supernatural witnesses, and a built-in excuse for errors. Promising start.

In this episode, we break down the introduction and the Testimony of the Three and Eight Witnesses, analyzing what they actually claim and whether they hold up under scrutiny. Why did God supposedly reveal this book in 1800s New York? Why were the plates hidden instead of just, you know, available? And how does a "divinely inspired" book already have a disclaimer for mistakes?

Now, if you’re wondering why I’m not going all in yet, here’s the deal:
💡 This is just the introduction - for those unfamiliar with the book, I want to set the stage first.
🔥 Once we start getting into the actual scriptures, it's open season.

This episode kicks off the Book of Mormon - Troll the Verse playlist, so follow along as we go line by line through Mormonism’s sacred text. Trust me - it only gets wilder from here.
