Mormonism is a way of life practiced by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often called Mormons or Latter-day Saints. Although two-thirds of the church's membership (was) in the United States, especially the western states, members are also located in 100 other countries and 25 territories, colonies, or possessions.摩门教是一个，这样圣徒一天生活实行后期成员基督的教会耶稣基督通常称为摩门教徒或后期圣徒。尽管2 -（三分之二的教会的成员）在美国，特别是西方国家，成员也设在其他100个国家和25个领土，殖民地或属地。In 1989, the church reported a worldwide membership of about 7 million.1989年，教会成员的报告，全世界约有700万。

In Utah the church continued to grow but was challenged by the US government because of the acknowledgement of polygamy as a Mormon tenet.在犹他州的教会继续增长，但宗旨是摩门教的一个质疑美国政府的作为，因为承认一夫多妻制。A war almost developed, but Mormon leaders decided to compromise after only sporadic fighting.阿战争几乎发达，但摩门教领导人决定妥协后，只有零星的战斗。In 1862 and 1882, Congress passed antibigamy laws, and in 1879 the Supreme Court ruled that religious freedom could not be claimed as grounds for the practice of polygamy.在1862年和1882年，美国国会通过antibigamy法律，并在1879年最高法院裁定，宗教信仰自由不能作为索赔的理由一夫多妻制的做法。 In 1890 the Mormons officially ended the practice of plural marriage.在1890年正式结束了婚姻摩门教实践多元。
Not everyone supported Young's election as church leader.不是每个人都支持杨作为教会领导人选举。 The opposition eventually withdrew to form other Mormon churches, the largest of which (with a membership of 225,000) is the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter - day Saints, headquartered at Independence, Mo. The Reorganized Church holds that leadership rightfully belongs to the direct descendants of Joseph Smith.反对派最终撤退到其他形式的摩门教教堂，其中最大的225 000（与会员资格）是后期重组教会耶稣基督-圣徒教会的总部设在独立，密苏里州认为，改组后的领导理应属于约瑟夫史密斯的直接后裔。
Mormons use the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and two other books of revelations to Joseph Smith - Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price - as their standard scriptures. Thus they share most of the beliefs of traditional Christianity but with some modification. Mormons believe that God continues to reveal his word to individuals who seek it for their own benefit, to leaders of local units for their own jurisdiction, and to the President - Prophet for the church as a whole. In 1978, for example, Mormon church authorities announced that they had been instructed by revelation to strike down the church's former policy of excluding black men from the priesthood. 摩门教使用圣经，摩门书，和另外两个启示书籍约瑟夫史密斯-教义和圣约与物价明珠大-经典作为标准。因此，他们分享最传统的基督教的信仰，但有一些修改。 摩门教徒相信上帝继续显示他的话给个人谁寻求受益，为自己，为单位领导的地方为自己的管辖权，以及向总统-全教会的先知的。在1978年，例如，摩门教教堂当局宣布，他们已指示启示罢工了教会的神职人员前扣除政策男子从黑色。
The church baptizes by immersion at age eight or older. Vicarious baptism for those who have died and marriage for eternity are two distinctive Mormon practices. Latter - day Saints believe in the eternal progress of humans from a spiritual state to mortality and then to an afterlife where resurrected individuals will receive their reward. The church lays great emphasis on genealogical research so that members may undergo baptismal rites on behalf of their ancestors.该教会施洗的浸泡在8岁以上的老年人。 洗礼的永恒的转承为那些谁已死亡，婚姻是两个不同的摩门教徒的做法。后者-圣徒相信人类的精神状态，从一个进步的永恒的死亡率，然后到来世在复活的个人将得到他们的赏赐。 教会家谱研究奠定了相当的重视，使成员可以接受他们的祖先的洗礼仪式上发言。
Church members pay a tithe to support numerous church activities and building construction and work on welfare farms or other projects to produce items for the poor.教会成员支付什一税，以支持众多的教堂和建筑活动和项目工作，福利农场或其他生产项目的穷人。Local members operate the full program in each congregation, including individual weekly meetings for men, women, children, and young people, and two meetings - Sunday School and Sacrament - for the entire church body.本地会员操作方案，每堂完整，包括会议，男子个人每周，妇女，儿童和青少年，以及两次会议-主日学及圣体-整个教堂。More than 37,000 (1989) young men and women devote two years of their lives as missionaries. The church lays great emphasis on family solidarity, which is encouraged through a weekly family evening of religious instruction and entertainment. Its strong opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment is based on its belief that the effects would prove disruptive to family life.超过37,000（1989年）的青年男女传教士花2年的生命，作为他们的。 教会规定和娱乐十分重视对家庭的团结，指令，已是晚上宗教鼓励通过每周一次的家庭。强烈反对平等权利修正案基于其信念，即证明破坏性影响将家庭生活。

The Mormons, as they are usually known, represent one of the most successful of the new religious movements of the nineteenth century.摩门教，因为它们通常是已知的，代表了19世纪一个最成功的宗教运动新的。Today they are divided into two main groups, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints, organized from Salt Lake City, Utah, and the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints, based in Independence, Missouri.今天，它们被分为两大类，后者教会耶稣基督-圣徒后者，举办盐湖城，犹他州，耶稣基督和教会的重组-圣徒，总部设在密苏里州独立。 In addition to these major groups a number of smaller "fundamentalist" groups exist.除了这些“原教旨主义主要小团体一多的”群体的存在。Today (1988) the Utah church claims over 3 million members, while the Reorganized Church claims about 600,000 adherents.今天（1988年）超过300万会员的美国犹他州的教会声称，重组教会索赔而约60万信徒。
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints was first organized on April 6, 1830, at Fayette, New York, by Joseph Smith. Soon after its formation its members moved to Kirtland, Ohio, and then Jackson County, Missouri, as a result of the intense opposition they encountered.后期教会耶稣基督-圣徒首次举办的1830年4月6日，在费耶特，纽约，由约瑟夫。成立后不久，其成员转移到柯特兰，俄亥俄，然后，密苏里州，作为杰克逊县结果在激烈的反对，他们遇到的问题。 They finally settled at a place they called Nauvoo on the Mississippi River in Illinois.他们终于在一个地方定居，他们呼吁伊利诺伊瑙夫对密西西比河研究。Here they prospered and built a thriving city.在这里，他们建立了一个繁荣兴旺，欣欣向荣的城市。
On July 12, 1843, Smith received a revelation allowing for polygamy, which caused four disillusioned converts to found an anti - Mormon newspaper. 12日，1843年，史密斯得到一个启示转换允许一夫多妻制，造成4醒悟到发现一反-摩门教的报纸。Smith was denounced on June 7, 1844, in this paper, the Nauvoo Expositor, in its single publication.史密斯谴责对1844年6月7号文件，在此，瑙夫expositor的，在它的单一出版物。For that the brothers of Smith burned down the newspaper office.为此史密斯兄弟烧毁了报社。As a result Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were placed in Carthage jail, where on June 27, 1844, they were brutally murdered when a mob stormed the jail.因此约瑟夫史密斯和他的兄弟海鲁姆被安置在迦太基监狱，于1844年6月27日，他们被残酷杀害时，一群暴徒冲进监狱。
Following the assassination of Joseph Smith the majority of Mormons accepted the leadership of Brigham Young.史密斯被暗杀后，约瑟的摩门教徒大多数接受了年轻的领导布里格姆。A minority rallied around Joseph's legal wife and family to form the Reorganized Church.少数人团结在约瑟夫的合法妻子和家庭，形成重组教会。Under the leadership of Young the Mormons left Nauvoo in 1847 and trekked westward to Utah.年轻的领导下，在1847年瑙夫摩门教在美国犹他州和向西长途跋涉。Here for more than thirty years Brigham Young ruled the Mormon Church and laid the foundation of its present strength.这里30多年杨百翰摩门教教会和统治奠定了基础，其目前的实力。
Mormonism has a dual foundation.摩门教具有双重基础。The first is the claim of Joseph Smith to have received golden plates upon which ancient scriptures are alleged to have been written. Smith claimed to have translated these plates and subsequently published them in 1830 as The Book of Mormon. The second foundation is Smith's claim to have had an encounter with the living Jesus and subsequently to receive continuing revelations from God. The substance of these continuing revelations is to be found in the Mormon publication The Doctrine and Covenants, while an account of Joseph Smith's encounter with Jesus and the discovery of The Book of Mormon is to be found in The Pearl of Great Price. 首先是史密斯声称约瑟夫已收到据称黄金板块在这古老的经文已写的。史密斯声称有翻译这些板块，并随后发表的摩门教他们在1830年为该书。第二种基础是史密斯的索赔有一耶稣遇到的生活，后来接受持续的启示来自上帝。的启示物质，这些继续是要发现在摩门教出版物的教义和圣约，而一个帐户约瑟夫史密斯的遭遇与耶稣的发现，摩门书是要在价格发现大的明珠。 The Pearl of Great Price also contains the text of two Egyptian papyri which Joseph Smith claimed to have translated plus his translation of certain portions of the Bible. Together The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price form the basis of the Mormon continuing revelation. Since the death of Smith these revelations have been supplemented by what the church claims to be further revelations given to its leaders.大珍珠的价格也包含了文本两名埃及纸莎草纸的约瑟夫史密斯声称圣经翻译的部分，加上他翻译的某些。 一起巨大代价摩门经，教义和圣约，珍珠和形式的基础摩门教持续启示。由于史密斯的死亡，这些已被揭露领导人补充什么教会声称要进一步揭露其给予。
The Book of Mormon itself is a fairly straightforward adventure yarn written in the style of biblical history. The story concerns two ancient civilizations located on the American continent. 本身摩门经是一个相当简单的冒险纱写在圣经历史风格。故事涉及两个古老大陆设在美国的文明。The first was founded by refugees from the Tower of Babel.第一项是由难民从巴别塔。These people crossed Europe and emigrated to the eastern coast of central America.这些人越过欧洲和移民至美国东海岸的中部。The founders of the second civilization emigrated from Jerusalem around 600 BC.第二个文明的缔造者的移民约公元前600耶路撒冷。 This group is said to have crossed the Pacific Ocean in arklike boats.这组据说在arklike船只越过太平洋。After their arrival in America both these groups are said to have founded the great civilizations.抵达美国后，他们在这两个群体是据说创立了伟大的文明。The first civilization was known as that of the Jaredites.第一个文明被称为Jaredites，该。This was totally destroyed as a result of their corruption.这是完全毁坏了他们的腐败结果。The second group were righteous Jews under the leadership of a man named Nephi. Initially Nephi's group prospered and built great cities.第二组被命名为尼法义犹太人的人领导下的一个。起初尼菲的小组繁荣和建造伟大的城市。But like their forefathers in Palestine, many apostatized and ceased to worship the true God.但是，像他们的祖先在巴勒斯坦，许多apostatized并停止拜真神。As a result their civilization was plagued by civil wars and eventually destroyed itself.由于他们的文明成果本身是受到内战的困扰，并最终销毁。
The descendants of the apostates remained on the North American continent as native Indians.叛教者的后裔仍留在当地印第安人的北美大陆。In The Book of Mormon the Indians are known as the Lamanites who, as a result of the apostasy, received the curse of a dark skin.在摩门经皮肤的印度人称为Lamanites谁，作为一个结果变节，收到一个黑暗的诅咒。
The Book of Mormon claims that Christ visited America after his resurrection and revealed himself to the Nephites, to whom he preached the gospel and for whom he founded a church.摩门教书声称，基督复活后，他访问了美国，并透露自己的Nephites，向他宣讲的福音，并为他所创立的教会。 The Nephites were eventually destroyed by the Lamanites in a great battle near Palmyra, New York, around AD 428.该Nephites最终破坏了Lamanites在公元428附近巴尔米拉伟大斗争，纽约，约。Almost 1,400 years later, according to Mormon claims, Joseph Smith had revealed to him the record of these civilizations in the form of "reformed Egyptian hieroglyphics" written upon golden plates.近1400年后，根据摩门教声称，约瑟夫史密斯曾透露，他的纪录后，黄金板块这些书面形式文明的象形文字“埃及”改革。 With the aid of supernatural spectacles, known as the urim and thummim, he translated the unknown language into English and it became The Book of Mormon.随着乌陵和土明援助作为超自然的眼镜，众所周知，他翻译成英文未知的语言，它成为摩门教书。According to the Articles of Faith of the Mormon Church and to the theology of the Book of Mormon, Mormonism is essentially Christian.根据章程摩门教教会的信仰和对摩门教的神学的书，摩门教是基督教的本质。
These present views that are similar to those of many other Christian churches, but this similarity is misleading.这是目前的看法是类似于许多其他教会的基督徒，但这种相似是一种误导。Mormon theology is not based upon its declared Articles of Faith or the teachings of The Book of Mormon.摩门教的神学不是基于其宣称信仰摩门教的文章或书的教义的。Rather, the essence of Mormon theology comes from the continuing revelations received by Joseph Smith and later Mormon leaders.相反，摩门教的神学本质来自后来摩门教领导人和持续披露收到由约瑟夫史密斯。
Mormonism teaches that God the Father has a body and that man's destiny is to evolve to Godhood.摩门教教导我们，上帝的父亲有一个身体，认为人的命运是要不断改进，以神格。This teaching is summed up in the popular Mormon saying, "As man is, God once was: as God is, man may become." This belief includes the notion of preexisting souls who gain a body on earth and become human as part of the probationary experience which determines their future heavenly existence. Contrary to the teachings of the Bible man's rebellion against God, known in Christian theology as the fall, is considered necessary. Mormon theology teaches that if Adam had not eaten the forbidden fruit, he would never had children. 这种教学是在总结了摩门教流行的说法是：“作为人，神曾经是：作为神，人可以成为。”这种信念的概念包括对既存的灵魂谁收益的机构成为地球和人类的一部分试用经验，决定他们的未来天上的存在。相反的叛乱的教义的圣经的人对秋季为上帝的基督教神学，已知的，被认为是必要的。摩门教的神学教导，如果亚当没有吃了禁果，他从来没有儿童。 Therefore, to propagate the race and fulfill his heavenly destiny Adam had to disobey God.因此，要宣传他的种族和履行神圣的命运亚当不服从上帝。Thus, in a very real sense it is the fall of man which saved man.因此，在一个非常现实的意义上，它是人类堕落的人得救。This doctrine is built into an evolutionary view of eternal progression which reflects popular thinking and scientific speculation at the time of Joseph Smith.这一理论是建设成为一个永恒的进化观点的进展，反映民意的科学思想和约瑟夫史密斯在炒作的时间。
In keeping with the idea of a probationary state the doctrine of justification by faith is rejected in Mormon theology in favor of salvation by works as the basis of determining one's future mode of existence. The purpose of Christ's atonement is then said to be the assurance that humans will be raised from the dead.在保持与国家理想中的试用信仰理由的学说被拒绝在摩门教的神学救赎赞成的生存工程，作为此基础上决定未来模式之一的。该赎罪的目的，基督的，然后说是保证人类将是从死里复活。 At the resurrection, however, human beings will be assigned a place in one of three heavenly realms according to the life they have lived on earth.在复活，但是， 人类将被分配天上三个地方在一个按照地球上的生命，他们就一直生活。
The Mormon Church claims that it is the only true church because its leaders continue to receive revelation from God.摩门教教会声称，它是唯一真正的教会，因为它的领导人继续接受来自上帝的启示。In addition it claims to possess the powers of the priesthood of Aaron and Melchizedek into which its male members are expected to be initiated.此外，它声称拥有的权力，并开始亚伦的麦基洗德的祭司将是其男性成员预计将。
As a social organization the Mormon Church exhibits many admirable qualities.作为一种社会组织的摩门教展品许多可贵的品质。It promotes extensive welfare programs for members, operates a large missionary and educational organization, and promotes family life.它促进了成员广泛的福利计划，经营大型传教士和教育机构，并促进家庭生活。Mormons are expected to participate in what is known as "temple work."摩门教预计参加什么是工作被称为“庙”。This involves proxy baptism for deceased ancestors and "celestial marriage."这涉及到代理的洗礼为死去的祖先和“天结婚。” Mormons believe that in addition to temporal marriages church members may be sealed to their families "for time and eternity" through a process known as celestial marriage.摩门教徒相信，除了时空婚姻教会成员可能被封闭永恒“通过天体的过程称为婚姻的时间和他们的家人。”
During the 1960s the Mormon community was troubled by its denial of the priesthood to blacks.在20世纪60年代的黑人摩门教社会动乱的是其拒绝向神职人员。However, in 1978 the president of the church declared that he had received a new revelation which admitted blacks to the priesthood.然而，在1978年教堂总统宣布，他已经收到了新的启示，它承认黑人的神职人员。Today one of the most troublesome issues within the Mormon Church is the place of women, who are also excluded from the priesthood.今天问题的一个最棘手的摩门教教会内的神职人员地方的妇女是谁也排除在外。In addition to these social problems a number of historical challenges have rocked Mormon intellectual life of the past two decades.除了这些历史挑战社会的一些问题，一个震撼摩门教二十年智力生活的过去。These include serious questions about the translation of The Book of Abraham and The Pearl of Great Price and about Joseph Smith, visions, and historical claims.这些严重的问题，包括历史的索赔有关的书籍翻译亚伯拉罕和和的无价珍珠约约瑟夫史密斯，愿景。
Much of the criticism has come from ex-Mormons disillusioned by what they see as the refusal of the church hierarchy to face serious questioning.大部分的批评都来自前摩门教失望了严重质疑他们的脸上看到的拒绝教会层次结构。Among the more important ex-Mormon critics are Fawn Brodie, whose biography of Joseph Smith, No Man Knows My History, seriously undermines official Mormon histories, and Gerald and Sandra Tanner, whose Modern Microfilm Company has produced numerous documents challenging the official version of early Mormon history and the development of Mormon doctrine.其中较重要的前摩门教批评家福恩布罗迪，其斯密约瑟的传记，没有人知道我的历史，严重破坏了官方摩门教的历史，和杰拉德和桑德拉坦纳，其现代缩微胶片公司生产的版本众多挑战的正式文件早摩门教的历史和理论发展的摩门教。 Within the Mormon Church itself a vigorous debate has been conducted in journals such as Dialog and Sunstone.在摩门教教会本身就是一个激烈的辩论已进行对话和期刊，如桑斯。The rigor with which younger Mormon scholars have addressed the study of their own history in these journals is clear indication of the power of Mormonism to survive sustained criticism.严格的期刊与摩门教的年轻学者的研究已经解决了这些在他们自己的历史，是摩门教清楚地表明权力的持续生存的批评。
Although young Mormon missionaries may often present Mormonism as a slightly modified American form of Christianity, this approach does little justice to either Mormon theology or the Christian tradition. As a new religious movement Mormonism represents a dynamic synthesis that combines frontier revivalism, intense religious experience, and popular evolutionary philosophies with a respect for Jesus and Christian ethics. 虽然年轻的摩门教传教士可以经常出席基督教摩门教的形式作为一个稍微修饰美国，这种做法并没有任何正义的摩门教神学或基督教传统。作为一种新的宗教运动摩门教是一个动态的综合相结合的前沿复古，激烈的宗教经验，与流行的进化和基督教道德哲学与耶稣尊重。 This combination of beliefs holds strong attraction for many people uninterested or unschooled in Christian history and theology.持有这种信念的结合强大的吸引力，很多人不感兴趣或神学在基督教的历史和失学。

The leadership of the Mormon Church claims openness to education and study, but over many decades, when hundreds of Mormon scholars have directed their research toward Mormon history or theology, they have all quickly been excommunicated.教会领导的摩门教索赔开放的教育和研究，但几十年来，当数百名学者，相传已指示其神学研究历史，对摩门教，他们都很快被逐出教会。 This has been done to even highly respected and famous Mormon scholars. They explain it by stating that no one is allowed to question or challenge the Church or its leaders, even if such comments happen to be true. Such attitudes of the leadership of the Mormon Church greatly discourage actual deep examination of many important subjects. For this reason, we have to suggest to Mormons that they should NOT attempt to study their Church or their faith as thoroughly as BELIEVE encourages all others to examine their own beliefs and Churches and religions.美国已经这样做甚至摩门教的高度尊重和著名学者。 他们解释，说明它确实没有人可以质疑或挑战教会或领导人，即使是发生这样的评论。这种态度对摩门教的领导教会为这极大地阻碍了许多重要的课题。原因实际深刻检查，我们要建议在摩门教徒，他们不应该试图去研究他们的教会或信仰宗教的代表彻底信士鼓励所有别人检查自己的信仰和教会和。 I have received at least 2,000 e-mails from many Mormons over the years.我已收到至少2000电子年邮件在许多摩门教徒。Most seem to be very smart and educated people, but they have all seemed amazingly totally uninformed about many well-established historical facts about their own Church! (several such issues are briefly mentioned several paragraphs below).大多数人似乎很聪明，受过教育的人，但他们似乎都惊人地完全不知情的教会了许多良好的自身既定的历史事实有关！（数等问题进行了简要提到以下几个段落）。 It seems amazing that they are so educated but with such enormous blank spots in their knowledge of their own Church.看来，他们是如此惊人，但与如此庞大的教育自己的教会空白点在他们的知识。In many cases, it has seemed clear that I probably had a deeper knowledge of the Mormon Statement of Faith (actually, several different versions of it) than most Mormons do.在许多情况下，它似乎很清楚，我可能有它）更深入地了解摩门教的信仰声明（几个不同的版本，其实，这样做的比大多数摩门教徒。 Shouldn't THEY have been the ones to be able to educate ME about details of their beliefs?不是应该一直是那些能够对他们的教育信念ME的细节？ It appears that we (BELIEVE) may have unintentionally caused hardship for a number of Mormons because of our insatiable attitude toward learning about all subjects.看来，我们（相信）可能无意中造成的困难对象为所有人的数量的摩门教徒，因为贪得无厌的心态对待学习。 We had brought up what we felt were valid questions, such as the following.我们已经提出了我们认为是有效的下列问题，如。In extensive reading in the Book of Mormon, we had noticed the many hundreds of prominent calendar references of events according to the Birth of Jesus. The Plates are described to have been created around 420 AD after those many such references.在摩门教在广泛阅读书籍，我们也注意到提到了突出的事件日历数以百计根据耶稣的诞生。描述的板已被引用420等创造约公元后的许多人。 For many years, this has seemed very confusing to us. It turns out that there was NO calendar anywhere in the world that was based on Jesus' Birth until such a calendar was established in what we now call 525 AD by a Monk, Dionysius Exiguus, who was the first to suggest that years be counted from the Birth of Jesus. It actually took the next 500 years before that calendar became generally accepted.多年来，这似乎对我们非常混乱。 原来是没有日历的任何地方的世界'，是根据耶稣诞生之前，这样的日历成立于公元我们现在请525僧，教士艾克西古斯，是谁首先提出来算，从耶稣的诞生计算。它实际上把未来500年之前，日历成为普遍接受。 So during Jesus' life, and for centuries afterward, the only calendar that was in general use was still the Roman AUC calendar, where Jesus was apparently Born in 750 AUC (the 750th year of the Roman Empire's existence).所以在耶稣的生活，几个世纪以后，唯一的日历，使用于一般仍是罗马的AUC日历，其中显然存在耶稣出生于750 AUC（下帝国的750年，罗马）。In recent times, it has been determined that the Monk Exiguus was close in his calculation of it then being 525 AD but it is now nearly universally believed that he was about four years off from the getting the actual Birth of Jesus in the correct year. The point being that there is NO ONE ON EARTH who even knows the exact year that Jesus was Born, and there was certainly not any calendar that was based on that date, even by the time that the Plates were supposedly created around 420 AD. Communication between America and the MidEast did not possibly exist, so any actual news of Jesus' Birth could not have been passed across the many thousands of oceans.最近，它已确定了它的和尚修斯exiguus封闭在他的计算则是公元525但现在几乎普遍认为，他对四年年开来得到正确的耶稣诞生的实际研究。 其要点是，NO的地球，一个有关于谁更知道确切的耶稣出生年，并有一定不会板。原本是公元420左右创建的任何日历的通信是基于该日期，时间，甚至美国和中东之间也不可能存在，因此任何'耶稣诞生的实际消息可能不会有成千上万的海洋通过全国。 So for twenty years, I have always asked all Mormons that have approached me to help me understand how those many prominent calendar references in the Book of Mormon could be true. They seem to refer to a calendar which had not even yet been invented! Whether or not the people in America could have somehow gotten news of Jesus' Birth is a different issue, which seems nearly as impossible. All I requested was a clarification on how that calendar could be possible, because it it were NOT clarified, I do not see how it is possible to believe any of those hundreds of date references in the Book of Mormon as being credible. In ALL religious texts, it is always claimed that EVERYTHING included is exactly and precisely true.因此，对二十多年，我常常问have所有真正的摩门教徒有找我帮助我了解如何to the Book of many那些在calendar references prominent摩门教可以be。 似乎是指以一个日历项仍未even yet been invented！Whether或不是美国人民可以在一定程度上将得到消息的诞生耶稣的是一个不同的问题，这似乎是几乎不可能的。 我只要求澄清是如何的日历上有可能出现，因为它它是不澄清，我不看看它是如何可能相信任何书在那几百条的提述日期摩门教是可信的。在所有的宗教经文，它总是声称这是包含的所有内容准确，正是true。 That is assumed true in the Mormon Church as well.这是假设在摩门教教会也是如此。However, some Mormons have corrected me about that in saying that it is generally correct, but that incorrect statements do exist in Mormon Faith!然而，一些摩门教已经纠正了我这个问题的说法，这是普遍正确的，但确实存在不正确的语句在摩门教的信仰！They cite Mormon 8:12 as asking that the book not be condemned due to its imperfections!他们列举其不完善之处摩门教徒8:12的要求，这本书不是由于受到谴责！I find such a statement astounding, to be CONCEDING that the basic text of a major religion MIGHT NOT BE PRECISELY CORRECT!我觉得这样的声明令人震惊，必须承认，各主要宗教的基本文本的可能不准确是正确的！But that is a different matter.但这是另一回事。 So if these hundreds of very prominent dates are not true, and in fact, necessarily fabricated at some time AFTER 525 AD, (when that calendar actually existed) then that would seem to cast doubt regarding all other statements in the Book of Mormon.所以，如果这些突出的日期数百非常不完全属实，而事实上，必然在一段时间后编造公元525，（该日历时确实存在），那么这似乎使人怀疑有关摩门经所有其他的发言英寸 Note the opposite possibility.注意对面的可能性。Say that, even though the REST OF THE WORLD does NOT know the precise date of Jesus' Birth, that somehow the Book of Mormon DOES have it precisely correct.说，尽管世界其他地区不知道确切日期的摩门教DOE的耶稣的诞生，认为它具有某种图书正是正确的。The Book of Mormon contains a substantial number of astronomical events and major natural events, any one of which might be precisely determined against modern historical evidence.摩门教书包含了大量的历史证据的天文事件和重大自然事件之一，任何可能对现代准确地确定。Doesn't that suggest that the Book of Mormon might therefore PROVIDE a precise date for the Birth of Jesus, which is otherwise not available to anyone on Earth? This possibility seems to suggest that extremely careful study of the historicity of the Book of Mormon might be immensely important and valuable.这是不是表明，摩门书，因而可能会提供一个在地球上任何人的确切日期为耶稣的诞生，这是其他方式不可用？这种可能性似乎暗示摩门经非常小心地研究了历史性的可能是极为重要和宝贵。 At first, I had not been aware that the early leaders of the Mormon Church had ALTERED many of the Original statements of Joseph Smith (including Smith himself, in 1829 and 1830) before publishing them in 1830.起初，我并没有意识到摩门教的早期领导人已改变许多约瑟夫史密斯1830年的原始报表（包括史密斯本人在1829年）之前公布1830年来港。 If this is what had happened, where the texts were altered to now include dates in our modern calendar system, that might be a possible explanation for this issue, but that would then emphasize that the Church leaders had intentionally altered many of Joseph Smith's Original texts before publishing. Apparently, nearly 2,000 unintentional changed occurred as Oliver Cowdery copied the Original manuscript (written down from the oral words of Smith) into a Printer's manuscript, around three such copyist errors per page.如果这是发生了，其中的文本被改为现在包括系统日期在我们现代的日历，这可能是这个问题可能的解释为，但这样会再强调这教会首领曾有意改变texts许多的斯密约瑟的原件前出版。显然，近2000无意改变发生的奥利弗考德里复制下来的口头词的进入打印机史密斯）手稿原稿 （书面页，大约每三个这样的抄写错误。But many hundreds of other changes were made intentionally between those two handwritten manuscripts, many to correct facts that had been stated wrong and in other errors that needed to be corrected.但是其他的变化进行了数以百计的故意与这两个手稿，很多需要改正的事实已经说明错误和其他错误得到纠正。Certain parts of the texts were significantly altered again (mostly by Smith) during the late 1830s and (not by Smith) early 1840s, where they then no longer even matched the earlier published texts. If there was Divine importance in the Original words that Joseph Smith spoke during 1828 and 1829, where God was involved, WHY was it later necessary to make so many corrections?文本的某些部分又显着改变（主要是由史密斯）1830年代后期（史密斯不是由）early 19世纪40年代，他们甚至不再那么匹配早期出版的文件。如果有圣旨的重要性，原始，约瑟夫史密斯在谈到1828年和1829年，在涉及上帝，为什么后来需要作出很多修改？ Does that imply that they understand better than God does?这是否意味着他们更好地了解比上帝一样吗？Whatever the explanation for such matters, it seems to us that Mormon Church believers deserve to know what the real truth is in such things.无论事宜作出解释，这样，它在我们看来，摩门教信徒应该知道什么是真正的真理的东西在这种。ARE the dates which were recorded on the Plates around 420 AD actually referring to a calendar system which had not yet been invented?难道发明日期而被记录在大约公元420板实际上指的是日历系统尚未得到？Or did the Mormon Church leaders alter the texts to make these changes in the early decades of their Church?还是摩门教教会领袖改变文本，使他们的教会这些早期的几十年的变化？ When I have asked that calendar question to Mormons, I have always done so in the spirit of trying to better understand things, as I do in all fields of study.当我问该日历问题摩门教徒，我一直在这样做的事情的精神，试图更好地理解，我做研究的所有领域。More than that, it seems far more valuable to me for MORMONS to know the correct answer to such issues than whether I learn something or not!以上，似乎更有价值的摩门教徒，以我知道正确答案的问题不是这样，我是否学到一些东西或不！In order for the followers to truly be able to trust every detail of what their Church Teaches them, it is important to get an understanding of these sorts of things.在追随者为了使真正能够相信每一个细节的东西他们会教他们什么，重要的是要得到一个这种类型的理解。 I had no idea that when those Mormons I asked would ask my question to any Mormon teachers or leaders, their Church has such an extremely defensive attitude that it has always resulted in each of THEM being seen as dangerous to their Church, for simply ASKING such a question, and that some of them were even excommunicated.我不知道，当我问那些摩门教会问我的问题，以教师或任何摩门教领袖，他们的教堂有这样一个极其防御态度，导致他们一直在每个被视为危险的教会问，这样的简单一个问题，而且他们中有些人甚至驱逐。 That was certainly not my intention.这当然不是我的意图。In fact, I still find that calendar question needing a credible explanation by some Mormon scholar, regarding how a system calendar could have been so consistently used which did not yet actually exist. But I now understand that no Mormon would dare ask any other Mormon such a question, even to try to answer my question!事实上，我仍觉得该日历的问题需要一个可信的解释，摩门教的一些学者，就如何系统日历，会有今天的一贯应用于未经尚未实际存在。不过，我现在明白，没有摩门教敢提出任何其他摩门教such一个问题，甚至尝试回答我的问题！ Merely asking about such a question is considered so totally dangerous that the asker must be removed from the Church. Separate from my question, it appears that the Mormon Church has excommunicated over a thousand scholars and other leaders in the past two decades, as their studies and thoughts have been considered as destructive to the very specific beliefs that their Church insists can never be questioned.只是问这样一个问题的问题被认为是完全如此危险的提问者必须。被遣送堂单独从我，看来摩门教教会驱逐超过一千学者和其他领导人在过去20年的研究，因为他们的和思想都被视为破坏的非常具体的信念，他们的教会坚持不能受到质疑。 The BELIEVE web-site ALWAYS questions everything, in every religion! There are HUNDREDS of aspects of Protestant Christianity which we feel the need to aggressively pursue regarding clarifying possible problems.不管相信的网站总是一切问题，在每一个宗教！有问题重重基督教新教的方面，我们觉得有必要澄清有关可能的积极追求。 Our attitude is that the Lord GAVE us each brains, and that He expects each of us to USE THEM to try to figure such things out! We have total confidence that Christianity can stand up to ANY examination, no matter how profound, and that in the end, our understanding of the Lord will be improved.我们的态度是，上帝给了我们每个人的大脑，并且他希望我们每个人的使用它们来尝试推测这种事情了！我们拥有足够的信心，基督教可以站起来，任何检验，无论多么深刻，而在最后，我们的主了解有关将得到改善。 (I never even have ever gotten to be able to ask about some other issues which have long concerned me, such as the relatively illiterate Joseph Smith being only around 14 years old when he had his Visitation experience, and only 17 years old when he learned where the Plates were (Sept 22, 1823). Those were the two central experiences on which their entire Church is based. Is that really solid enough on which an enormous modern Church could be built? Or about the fact that Joseph Smith wrote rather brief hand written descriptions of those two events when he was around 19, but then presented very different and far more comprehensive descriptions when he was around 21 in 1827, and different still in 1828-29 when the text was being transcribed to be published for the new Church, these LATER descriptions as the Book of Mormon and the Pearl of Great Price. Or about Brigham Young's very early turbulent association with several other Churches early in his life before he met and began to follow Joseph Smith. Or the many questions about why the Mormon Church chose to create such an aggressive coverup for more than forty years regarding the incident where a group of Mormons led by one of Brigham Young's sons (John D. Lee), attacked and seiged a wagon train of the (Christian) Fancher family on Sept 7, 1857, stranding the approximate 160 people of the wagon train for five days before they surrendered under a white flag on Sept. 11, at which point the Mormons took all the captives toward Cedar City. The Mormons then used hammers and guns and knives to slaughter all the Methodist and Presbyterian Christians, the men first, then the women and then the older children, except for a handful of very small children. It is certainly true that there are aberrant followers of all religions, that that event in itself may not have any great significance regarding the Mormon Church. But the Mormon Church went to massive effort to cover up every aspect of the stories regarding it, for fifty years, and to some extent, still today. The Mormon Church eventually admitted, around February 1907, that this Mountain Meadows Massacre or Fancher Massacre, was done primarily by Mormons. The Mormon Church has even built a Monument at the site of the massacre. My question regarding that whole subject was why the Mormon Church leadership resisted admitting culpability for fifty years, which does not seem as lofty and admirable as the Mormon Church generally portrays itself. An explanation for the coverup seems in order, although I don't really expect BELIEVE to ever get such an explanation.) （我从来没有得到过能够询问一些其他问题，他得知有老的时候我长期关注，如17年的相对文盲约瑟夫史密斯的只有14岁左右的时候，他有他探视经验，只其中板分别为（1823年9月22日）。这些都是教会是基于两个中心，他们的经验对整个。这是否真的足够扎实的上一个巨大的现代教会作后盾， 还是担心的是，约瑟夫史密斯说相当短暂手写这两个事件的描述时，他是19日左右，但随后提出非常不同的，更为全面的描述，他1827年时约为21，与1828年至1829年仍然在不同文本时被转录为公布新教会，大价钱这些后来的描述作为图书珠江摩门教和。或者有关杨百翰的很早其他教会动荡协会与几家早在他的生命之前，他会见，并开始跟随约瑟夫。或许多问题有关为何摩门教选择创建这样一种积极的试图掩盖真相，超过四十多年关于袭击事件在一组）领导的摩门教徒杨百翰之一的儿子（李约翰D.和seiged一凡彻家庭旅行车列车的（基督教）的1857年9月7日，搁浅在一个白色，旗上的大约911 160人5天的马车培养他们投降前在此时摩门教俘虏了所有的城市对雪松。摩门教然后用锤子和枪第一刀宰杀所有卫和长老会信徒，男人，女人，然后再对年龄较大的儿童，除了极少数的儿童非常小的。诚然，有各种宗教信徒的异常，这一事件本身可能没有什么大的意义就摩门教。 然而，摩门教付出巨大努力去掩盖它每一个方面的有关报道，50年，并在一定程度上，今天仍然存在。摩门教教会终于承认，大约2月1907年，这个山多斯大屠杀或凡彻大屠杀，已完成主要由摩门教徒。摩门教甚至建立了一个纪念碑在大屠杀现场。我的问题是关于整个主题就是为什么摩门教领导抵制承认有罪的50年，这似乎并不令人钦佩的崇高和教会的摩门教徒一般描述自己。一种解释为试图掩盖真相，似乎在秩序，虽然我不相信真的希望永远得到这样的解释。） One more such subject which has long troubled me!多一个这样的课题，一直困扰着我！Around 1828, Joseph Smith stated that the Plates were written in Egyptian Hieroglyphics.大约1828年，约瑟夫史密斯说，盘，埃及象形文字写的。His close friend and first reliable scribe, Martin Harris, took a transcription that Joseph Smith had made from one of the Plates, along with some of the (translated) text to New York City, to some scholars there.他的亲密朋友，第一个可靠的文士，马丁哈里斯，采取了板的转录，约瑟夫史密斯曾作出的从一，随着一些文字（翻译）到纽约市，一些学者那里。 Historical records of those meetings exist, external to the LDS Church.这些会议的历史记录存在，外部的摩门教。 By the way, after returning, Harris began regular scribe work with Smith, and the first 116 pages (about 1/6 of the entire Book of Mormon text) of transcription were completed by him. He then asked Smith to let him borrow those 116 pages to take to his wife, who had doubts as to why he was gone so much.顺便说一下，回国后，哈里斯开始与史密斯定期文士，第116页（约摩门教文本1 /整个预订6）的转录他完成。然后，他问史密斯，让他借用的116网页以他的妻子，谁还有很多疑问，为什么他这么走了。While away, Martin, through incompetence or neglect, had the 116 pages stolen.虽然离开，马丁，通过无能或疏忽，有116页被盗。 Those first 116 pages of the Book of Mormon were never re-translated! Joseph Smith told others that he was instructed NOT to re-translate them! That is a MASSIVE amount of important information which is forever missing from being available to any Mormons, on the order of 1/6 of the entire text of the Book of Mormon! 这些第一摩门教116页的书从来没有重新翻译！约瑟夫史密斯告诉别人，他奉命不重新翻他们！这是一个，对大量的重要信息丢失是永远被提供给任何摩门教徒摩门教秩序的1 / 6的书的全文！(1 Nephi through Omni. After the entire translation project was done, Smith translated the Smaller Plates to provide an abbreviated text which replaced the original text of the missing 116 pages. They are therefore believed to be different and more brief than what was first translated.) They are forever missing from the core texts of the LDS Church! I guess a skeptic might wonder why the first 116 pages would not have been re-translated, in order to provide a more complete record for later Mormons to follow. （1尼菲通过全方位。后，整个翻译项目完成后，史密斯翻译的小餐盘，以提供一个简短的文字，它取代了原来的116页的纯文字丢失的。因此，他们认为是不同的，更比第一次简短的翻译。）他们永远缺少摩门教的核心文本的！我想一个怀疑论者可能会奇怪，为什么第一个116页就不会被重新翻译，以提供一个更完整的记录后摩门教跟进。 After all, Mormons today have to base their faith on only about 5/6 of the actual contents of the Plates!毕竟，今天的摩门教徒，以他们的信念基础上大约只有5个板块的实际内容/ 6！The impression to me is that those first 116 pages were not considered important enough to repeat the work of re-creating them.在我的印象是，那些第一次116页不被认为足够重要，重复他们的工作重新创建。Doesn't that seem truly bizarre?这似乎真的不奇怪？ The Plates were supposed to have been written around 420 AD.该盘，应该已经写公元420。I have contacted more than two dozen experts in ancient languages, and every single one of them have said that was ridiculous.我所接触的多打两个古老的语言专家，和他们每个单一说，是荒谬的。They each have stated essentially the same facts, that ACTUAL Egyptian Hieroglyphics was really only in major use prior to around 1200 BC.他们每人都表示基本上相同的事实，实际的古埃及象形文字的主要用途是真的只在公元前1200年左右之前。They explain the clear reason for that statement.他们解释这项声明明确理由。Hieroglyphics were a set of picture words and in that they had great limitations.象形文字是一个集图片和文字，因为它们有很大的局限性。They were NOT capable of being sentences or actual language.他们没有语言能够被判刑或实际。Around 1300 BC, several actually written languages were developed, and they quickly took over because they were so much more efficient in expressing nearly any concept.公元前1300年左右，有几个实际的书面语言的发展，他们很快接管了，因为他们表示几乎所有的概念，以便更有效的研究。 Egyptian Hieroglyphs DID evolve over the next five centuries, where that language became a mix of words and concepts. But even by 800 BC, there was very little usage of Hieroglyphics in the world.埃及象形文字的DID发展，在未来5个世纪，在那里成为一个概念，语言文字和组合。然而，即使800年，但很少使用象形文字在世界上。 True, there evolved very different versions, such as Demotic Egyptian, which then continued to evolve into modern Egyptian, but that was really only used in VERY limited groups, specifically the government of Egypt, and it was already quite different from the original actual hieroglyphics. Common Egyptians did NOT yet have the capability of reading and writing in any language.的确，演变成现代的埃及，非常不同的版本，如通俗埃及，然后继续发展，但真的只用在极少数群体，特别是埃及政府的，而且已经很不同的象形文字从原来的实际。普通埃及人还没有语言能力，阅读和写作的任何研究。 Hieroglyphics was also rarely ever used except in carving symbol messages into stone blocks.象形文字是永远也很少用，除非把块石头雕刻符号信息。Nearly universally, the WRITTEN records of the time after around 1999 BC were always written in one of the more structured written languages.几乎普遍，在公元前后的书面记录，在1999年左右的时间，总是写在语文之一的更有条理的写的。 So therefore my question is the following: WHY would the Plates which were created around 420 BC be written in an extremely cumbersome and obsolete hieroglyphics? Any God would know that there were HUNDREDS of other available (existing) written languages which existed around 420 AD which would have required less than 1/4 as many symbols to express the stories presented!因此，因此我的问题是： 为什么其中约公元板创造了420年写成一个非常繁琐的和过时的象形文字？任何神都知道，还有其他数以百计的可用（现有）书面语言的存在而周围420将有4条规定小于1 /许多符号来表达的故事介绍！In fact, those Ancient Language Experts were also asked how many hieroglyphic symbols would be required to present the entire Book of Mormon, and the answers were all compatible to many hundreds or even thousands of such Plates. Would God really have used such an obsolete and cumbersome system to record important records?事实上，这些古代语言专家们还询问有多少象形文字的符号会被要求出席的摩门教整个预订，而答案都是板兼容，甚至数百或数千等。上帝真的会用这些过时的和繁琐的制度来记录重要的记录？ If each metal Plate weighed just one pound, and there were around 2,000 such Plates necessary to present the entire Book of Mormon, does that mean that the rather young Joseph Smith carried more than a ton of Plates home to try to translate them? There just seem to be a number of troubling aspects to the LANGUAGE issue regarding the Plates. If there is a logical explanation for these matters, excellent, we would LOVE to present accurate truth to Mormons such that their Faith might be strongest!如果每个金属板的重量只有1磅，并有大约2000板等必要的摩门教目前整个图书，这是否意味着相当年轻斯密约瑟带回家板一吨以上的尝试翻译呢？ 有刚似乎是一个令人烦恼的若干方面的语言问题方面的盘子。如果有一个合乎逻辑的解释这些问题，优秀的，我们很乐意提出准确的真理，以摩门教徒，使他们的信仰可能是强者！ Interviews with Smith's (first) wife and with others, decades later, included comments regarding having seen the Plates, and regarding the process of the transcription.其他访谈史密斯（一）与妻子，几十年后，包括评论就看过的板，和有关的转录过程。After every few words, Smith would pause so that the transcriber could read back what had just been written down, such that Smith could then correct any misspellings or other copyist errors.每几句话后，史密斯将暂停，以便誊写可以回读什么刚刚写下来，这样，史密斯便可以正确拼写错误或其他任何抄写错误。 In fact, about 28% of the original hand-written texts still exist, and they include large numbers of crossed-out and respelled words and other corrections.事实上，约28％的原始手写文本仍然存在，而且包括大量的交叉和respelled出单词和其他更正。These details seem to add credibility to the validity of the transcription process.这些细节似乎对这一进程的可信性效力的转录。 Later actions on the parts of others in the Mormon Church seemed to degrade such credibility, where they chose to re-write hundreds of portions of Smith's hand-written words into statements which have entirely different wordings and meanings.摩门教教会后来的人在行动上的部分似乎降低这种信誉，在那里他们选择了重新编写的字眼并声明，其完全不同的字眼数百部分史密斯的手写。 Why would they have done that? Why couldn't they have left well enough alone and simply accept the wording as provided by Joseph Smith?为什么他们这样做呢？为什么不离开不够好，只是单独接受约瑟夫史密斯所规定的措辞？ One answer is that Smith sometimes demonstrated his near illiteracy in making statements which are clearly contradictory to historical and geological facts.一个答案是，史密斯和地质事实证明，有时他在附近的文盲作出的声明，显然是违背历史的。Apparently they felt it necessary to alter Smith's wording to make such corrections. But they also chose to leave out entire pages and sets of pages of Smith's texts, and to insert entirely new pages which they apparently composed on their own, which had no connection to any Plates. Why would they do that?显然，他们认为有必要改变史密斯的措辞作这样的修正。但他们也选择离开了整个网页和文本设置的网页的史密斯，并插入完全组成的新网页，而他们显然自己，这也没有关系任何板。为什么他们会这么做？ We have been aware that the RLDS Church in Missouri has had a set of microfiche images of the hand-written transcriptions of Joseph Smith (the Printer's Manuscript) and his transcribers from 1828 and 1829.我们已经知道，在密苏里州RLDS教会了手稿集打印机的约瑟夫史密斯（缩微胶片图像的手写抄录）和1829年他从1828年誊写。 So there has long been solid evidence that the LDS leaders had altered the text of the first (1830) edition of the Book of Mormon.因此，长期以来一直扎实的证据表明，摩门教摩门教领导人改变了文本的第一（1830期）版的书。 Fortunately, a wonderful event happened in 2009.幸运的是，一个美好的事件发生在2009年。A respected Mormon scholar, Royal Skousen, a Professor at Brigham Young University, had spent around twenty years in studying the originals of those hand-written documents, and he was able to publish a book on The Earliest Writings. He documented thousands of differences between the first published 1830 edition of the Book of Mormon and the hand-written notes of 1828 and 1829.一位受人尊敬的摩门教学者，皇家什科森，一位大学教授，杨百翰，已花费了约二十多年研究的书面文件的正本的手，和他能够写作出版一本书上最早的。他记录成千上万之间的分歧在1829年首次发表1830年版的书和写的笔记和1828年摩门教的手。 Around 600 of those corrections/changes have never been published before, and Skousen says that around 250 of those changes cause actual changes in the meaning of the text! This new book seems to be an incredible advance in the scholarly understanding of the basis for the LDS Church and Faith.更正600人左右/改变一直没有被公开过的，周围的变化什科森说that cause 250这些变化的text在实际意义！这本新书似乎是一个令人难以置信的促进了解在学术的基础摩门教和信念。Bravo!好样的！ For the record, we have great admiration for countless things that the modern Mormon Church has accomplished.为了记录在案，我们已经完成了伟大的摩门教钦佩无数的东西，现代。The ethics, principles, and morals Taught seem to be excellent!的伦理，原则和道德教似乎是优秀的！The Missionary work and the impressive generosity call nearly all other Churches to shame by comparison!传教士的工作，令人印象深刻的慷慨呼吁几乎所有其他教会蒙羞的比较！So we really DO want to find LOGICAL EXPLANATIONS for these matters which we see as troubling.因此，我们确实希望找到合理的解释是困扰这些事宜，我们看到的。As with all other Churches, there are aspects which are admirable and other aspects which are terrible, since all Churches are operated by fallible humans.正如所有其他教会，有几方面值得我们敬佩和其他方面，则是可怕的教会，因为所有的人经营的犯错误。EACH of our Churches should have the RESPONSIBILITY of attempting to become the very best Church we can be!我们每个教会应该有责任的企图是要成为最优秀的教会，我们可以！We simply want to try to encourage the Mormon Church to examine these matters in order that Mormons could better hold their head high when critics try to say negative things.我们只是想尝试鼓励摩门教负面的事情，研究这些问题，以便能更好地保持自己的摩门教徒高昂着头尝试时批评说。 I believe that the results of my research regarding these things has provided an ASSET for the Mormon Church!我相信这些东西的结果对我的研究提供了一个摩门教教会资产 ！Something that no Mormon could ever provide them!摩门教的东西，没有能够为他们提供过！It appears to be ABSOLUTE PROOF of the validity of the Book of Mormon (in its Original wording). Consider that I was educated as a Nuclear Physicist and not as a Theologian.这似乎是其原来的有效期书在摩门教（措辞确凿证据的）。认为我是没有受过教育作为一个核物理学家和神学家。 It happens that every day is chock full of Statistical Analyses of every little detail in Physics.这种事，每天是座充满统计分析中每个物理小细节。So a unique feature of the Book of Mormon struck me as interesting!因此，一个摩门教独特的书给我的印象是有趣！Consider that during three months in the early part of 1829, April through June, when Joseph Smith was then just 23 years old, and relatively uneducated, he orally spoke all the words for a book which is now around 750 pages long.想想看，在3一千八百二十九个月部分早期，4月到6月时，约瑟夫史密斯当时只有23岁，没有受过教育的比较，他口头发言750页长的所有文字，大概是现在的书。 He spoke 3500 to 4000 words every day, and had the scribe repeat the word and spelling to confirm that it was recorded correctly, and he corrected misspellings and such.他谈到3500至4000字，每天有文士和重复的单词拼写，以确认它是正确记录，他纠正拼写错误等。But since this was an oral presentation which was written down, there was virtually no punctuation or capitalization in any of it! Many years later, the Head Printer said that he got the text in a form where it was essentially a single long sentence for the whole book!不过，由于这是一个口头报告是写下来，基本上没有标点符号或者在任何资本！多年后，打印头说，他得到的文本的形式在本质上是一个长句全书！ Why is this important?这是为什么重要？If you have read the Book of Mormon, you know that it is a complex book, where many dozens of people and places are regularly mentioned, during a historic period of well over a thousand years.如果你读过书的摩门教，你知道这是一个复杂的书，许多地方和地方数十人经常提到，在一个历史时期远远超过1000年。 For a very poorly educated young man to have been able to speak each of those words only once, AND NOT GOTTEN STORIES or PEOPLE or PLACES mixed up, it is truly astounding!对于一个受过教育的年轻人非常差已能说的话每个人只有一次，没有得到的故事或人物或地点混为一谈，这是很惊人！ Even very educated authors often make blunders in referring to some person or place which is physically impossible, but Joseph Smith did not make a single one! Without even having to keep any storyline notes handy! Those educated authors have access to massive libraries so they can confirm that Abraham Lincoln was born after George Washington had died, so if the author's book contained a story of a conversation between the two, such a conversation could never have occurred!即使是文化程度较低的作者不可能失误往往使一些人在提到这是身体或地方，但约瑟夫史密斯并没有保留任何一个单一的故事情节之一！甚至无需注意到方便！那些受过教育的作者有机会获得大量的图书馆，使他们能亚伯拉罕林肯被证实，乔治华盛顿出生后死亡，因此，如果作者的书包含了两个故事之间的对话，这种对话不可能发生！ And ALL the many people mentioned in the Book of Mormon, from many different centuries and from several different groups of people, were all somehow kept straight by Joseph Smith!和所有的许多人提到在摩门教书，来自许多不同的世纪，从几个不同的人群，都设法让它们直接由约瑟夫史密斯！I did a Statistical Analysis of that large a number of possible loci of error, and even if Joseph Smith had taken many years to methodically check through his text over and over, the lack of such flaws is really astounding!我做了错误的统计分析该位点可能的一个大数目，即使约瑟夫史密斯曾采取了许多年，有条不紊地通过他的文字漏洞检查一遍又一遍，这样的缺乏，实在令人惊讶！ And the fact that Smith spoke each word only once, in sequence, and remarkably quickly, did not even allow any room for later correcting names.而事实上，斯密谈到每个单词只有一次，按顺序，显着快，甚至不容许任何名称空间以后纠正。 (He DID make some statements which contradict known facts, and they WERE corrected later, but the specific point I am making here is that the multiple and inter-woven storylines are held together far too well for any human to have been able to have done it!) （他曾发表的一些声明已知的事实相抵触，并得到纠正后，在特定的点，但我想提出的是，多重和相互交织的故事情节顷一并举行far太好的任何人，能够有这样做它！） This seems to imply that the Lord MUST have provided the words to him, in order to not have gross errors in logic everywhere! Part of this reasoning is centered on the FACT that Joseph Smith was relatively uneducated, where such a person would simply not have either the skills or the access to methods of keeping so many storylines each strictly correct and independent.这似乎暗示，主必须提供给他的话，为了不会有严重的逻辑错误，无处不在！推理这部分是事实集中在约瑟夫史密斯是相对没有受过教育，如果这个人根本没有将无论是独立的技能或方法访问，并保持每年这么多的故事情节严格正确的。 I have a personal thought to add here.我个人认为有一个补充。The later comments of people who were present seemed to make clear that Smith RARELY even looked at any of the Plates, and they were commonly covered by a cloth.在镀后任何评论人谁出席似乎都不清楚，看起来史密斯甚至很少，而他们通常布覆盖着。But in any traditional process of translation, each symbol and each word commonly takes several minutes to decode.但是，在任何传统的翻译过程中，每个符号，每个字一般需要几分钟的时间来解码。Instead, Smith invariably placed his hat on a table and lowered his face into it, and spoke the words from there.相反，史密斯总是把帽子放在桌子上，然后蹲下将是他的脸，从那里讲的话。Notice an important fact that seems to not have been recognized elsewhere.请注意一个重要事实，似乎没有其他地方得到承认。Smith generally only required a scribe to work around eight hours per day.史密斯一般只需要抄写员工作约8小时，每一天。That is around 29,000 seconds. Including the time to hear back the transcribed copy and the time to correct spellings, they proceeded around 3500 to 4000 words every day.这是约29 000秒。在内可听到回转录和复制的时间正确的拼法，他们进行3500至4000字左右每天。This then represents an average of only EIGHT SECONDS PER WORD for the entire process!这就代表一个过程，平均每字只有8秒，整个！NO traditional translation can proceed at that rate.没有传统的翻译可以继续在这个速度。In fact, just the time of examining the Plates would have severely slowed this rate!事实上，仅仅是时间的研究板块将严重放缓这一速度！Minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day, another word transcribed every eight seconds!一分钟后分钟，小时小时后，一天又一天，8秒每一个字抄写！ Basically, I see that, and especially in combination with the incredible logical purity of the many storylines, as being impressive proof that the words that Joseph Smith wrote during those months must certainly have been of enormous importance.基本上，我看到，特别是结合了许多令人难以置信的故事情节合乎逻辑的纯洁性，是令人印象深刻的证明的话是约瑟夫史密斯个月期间写的人必须有一定的重要性，被巨大的。 There is another situation which proves this even more fully! A scribe copy was being generated each day at that prodigious rate. But due to the fact that the first 116 pages of work had earlier been lost, Smith decided to have the scribes (primarily Cowdery) make an entire duplicate copy of the whole text!另一种情况是，证明这更充分！一个文士正在生成副本惊人的速度，每天在那。但由于失去了第一个116页的工作后，已经，史密斯决定有文士（主要是考德里）使整个复制文本，整个！ The original, which was hand-written directly from Smith's voice, is sometimes called the Original.原来，这是手写的声音直接从史密斯的，有时也被称为原件。The copy was supposed to be an EXACT copy of the Original, to be given to the Printer.该副本应该是一个原件的精确复制，将给予打印机。But Cowdery made a COMMON number of copyist mistakes in making the duplicate, an average of around three errors per page. That fact simply means that Cowdery was an average conscientious human, but that the text provided to the Printer therefore contained thousands of (minor) copying mistakes!但考德里作出每页约3一个数字错误，错误的抄写员平均使一重复。这一事实仅仅意味着考德里是一个人的平均认真，但该文本提供给打印机因此含有成千上万（小）复制错误！ Cowdery demonstrated that he was human, but by comparison, Smith provided an oral text that seems far beyond any human abilities regarding accuracy.考德里证明了他是人，但相比之下，史密斯提供的口头文字的准确性，似乎远远超出任何人的能力有关。 In any case, this all leads me to think that the presence of the Plates were nearly irrelevant!在任何情况下，这一切使我认为板存在的几乎无关！Smith kept his face in the darkness of his hat for hour after hour, day after day, constantly speaking the words.史密斯保持他的脸一小时的黑暗中的帽子后一小时，一天又一天，不断地说的话。So it seems credible that any analytical questions regarding the Plates, whether they had enough total surface area to present all the needed characters, what language they might have been in, are probably irrelevant questions!因此，它似乎是可信的，任何分析板有关的问题，他们是否有足够的总表面积，以目前所需要的所有字符，什么语言，他们可能已经在，可能是不相关的问题！ If Joseph Smith was being given the words to speak, directly, then no Plates or seerstone or Interpreter was even necessary or important.如果约瑟夫史密斯被给予发言的话，直接，然后没有板或seerstone或解释，甚至必要的或重要的。Except maybe for credibility purposes!可能除了信誉的目的！ However, there are still some other matters which exist.但是，仍有一些存在的其他事项。The Book of Mormon claims that at least THREE DIFFERENT MIGRATIONS occurred from the area around Palestine.摩门教书声称，至少有三个不同的迁徙巴勒斯坦各地发生的地区。Such journeys certainly took many months to complete, and most such long sea journeys included many of the passengers dying during the trip, specifically of starvation.这种旅行一定花了很多个月才能完成，而大多数这样的长海旅程包含了许多乘客的行程中死亡，特别是对饥饿。Taking enough food along for a 10,000 mile sea voyage halfway around the world is not a simple process.世界足够的粮食以沿1万英里的海上航程约一半是不是一个简单的过程。But most unlikely is that ALL THREE of such immense migrations could possibly have traveled to the SAME destination in America, at a time when America was still totally unknown.但最不可能的是，所有三个巨大的迁移等可能有前往美国相同目的地，在美国的时候还是一片未知。For ONE such journey to successfully have made it that amazingly long distance, would be incredible.对于一个这样的旅程，成功地取得了惊人的长途认为，将是令人难以置信。For three DIFFERENT migrations to have occurred, in different centuries, and yet somehow all ended up in the same destination, truly stretches credibility!三种不同的迁移到有发生，在不同的世纪，但不知何故最终目的地都在相同的，真正的延伸信誉！ In 1947, Thor Heyerdahl led a group of six people on an ocean voyage of less than half that distance (4300 miles or 6900 km) across the South Pacific Ocean, and even that trip took them 101 days to complete. Their trip ended in a crash that destroyed their 45 foot long raft and left them stranded on an uninhabited island, where they were later rescued. 1947年，索尔海尔达尔率领的远洋航行一组六人不到一半的距离（四三零零英里或六千九百公里）在南太平洋，甚至把他们的旅行101天才能完成。行程一结束崩溃，摧毁他们的45英尺长的木筏，离开他们被困在一个荒岛，在那里他们后来被救出。 The technology used in building the Kon Tiki was many centuries more advanced than the very primitive boat building capabilities which existed at either extreme ancient history (the time of Lot in the Bible, the Jaredites) or even 600 BC, where no open sea trips were yet still ever made.科恩蒂基的建设采用的技术更先进的是许多世纪比非常原始的造船能力这Jaredites存在于这两种极端古老的历史（时间在圣经中的地段），或什至公元前600年，如果没有开放的海上旅程但仍然走了一步。 Even today, with modern construction materials, the possibility of building a boat to sail from Palestine to North America, roughly 10,000 miles, is nearly impossible.即使在今天的材料，与现代建筑，美国可能建立一个巴勒斯坦船从航行到北，大约10000英里，几乎是不可能的。 There are many logical difficulties in stories of such multiple migrations, and to the same destination!有这样多的迁徙许多逻辑困难的故事，同样的目的地！ There is another matter.还有另外一个问题。The Book of Mormon clearly indicates that native American Indians are allegedly descendents of the people of that first migration.摩门教书清楚地表明，美洲土著印第安人据称移民的后裔，首先是人民。Modern science has now proven that to be impossible.现代科学已证明是不可能的。The DNA samples of American Indians have been examined, and checked against the DNA of people in many places in the Mid-East, and they are EXTREMELY different!美洲印第安人的DNA样本已被审查，核对和人民的DNA在中东许多地方在中秋节，他们是非常不同的！Current scientific data indicates that the LATEST possible time was many thousands of years BEFORE any human civilization yet existed!目前的科学数据表明，最近的时间是前几千年的人类文明还存在！ And one more that seems especially odd to me.还有一说我似乎特别多。The Book of Mormon refers to the Red Sea, such as at 1 Neph1 2:5.摩门教书指的是红海，如在1 Neph1 2:5。If God was truly providing the words for Smith to say, doesn't it seem likely that He would have provided the CORRECT words?如果上帝是真正为史密斯说的话，它似乎并不认为他会提供了正确的话？This is important because the ACTUAL name of that Sea was the REED Sea and not Red Sea.这是重要的，因为红海该海域的实际名称是芦苇海，不是。It was also called the Weeds Sea, due to the massive numbers of reed plants in it.它也被称为海，由于大规模的工厂也只芦苇杂草。 There is NO indication of any red color in any part of it, and indeed, no reference to RED Sea existed until the most recent few hundred years and only in English!不，它是有迹象显示任何红色的部分在任何颜色，甚至没有提及海红存在，直到最近几百年，只有在英语！Scholars generally recognize that the CORRECT name was Reed Sea.学者们普遍认识到，正确的名称是芦苇海。When that name was translated into English a few hundred years ago, it apparently got misheard and called the Red Sea, by people who had never actually seen it!当这个名字翻译成英文几百年前，它显然听错了，并呼吁红海，由它的人从来没有谁真正见过！It seems very peculiar that Joseph Smith would have spoken a WRONG name which has only existed for a few hundred years and which certainly did NOT exist at 420 AD or at 600 BC!这似乎很奇怪的约瑟夫史密斯会发言只存在了数百年一错名字了，哪些肯定不会存在于公元420 600或年代！A Strong's Concordance of the Bible has the word O5488 cuwph, which has a definition reed, rush, water plant for the word that now appears as 'Red' in modern English Bibles!阿强的圣经协调一致的有字O5488 cuwph，其中有一个定义，芦苇，仓促，英文圣经水厂的词，现在看来为'红'在现代！ I realize that non-Physicists see such comments as being nit-picky. But they are not.我认识到，非物理学家看到，挑剔的评论作为被挑剔。但是他们却没有。They are intimately related to the quality of logic and factual accuracy which is present, and Physicists see immense importance in confirming such things.它们是密切相关的现行质量的逻辑和事实的准确性是，和物理学家看到这样的事情非常重要的确认。 |

"On the evening of the twenty-first of September (1823) I betook myself to prayer and supplication to Almighty God. "While I was thus in the act of calling upon God, I discovered a light appearing in my room, which continued to increase until the room was lighter than at noonday, when immediately a personage appeared at my bedside, standing in the air, for his feet did not touch the floor. "He had on a loose robe of most exquisite whiteness. It was a whiteness beyond anything earthly I had ever seen; nor do I believe that any earthly thing could be made to appear so exceedingly white and brilliant. His hands were naked, and his arms also, a little above the wrists; so, also, were his feet naked, as were his legs, a little above the ankles. His head and neck were also bare.他说：“晚上的 21年9月（1823） 所有的幻像萦绕祈祷和恳求万能的上帝 ”虽然我在呼唤从而在采取行动的上帝，我发现了一个床头灯出现在我的房间，这继续增加，直到我的房间是轻比中午，当立即在一个人物出现了，空气中的地位，他的脚也没有触及地面。“他曾在一个宽松的长袍最精致的白度。这是一个看到地上的白度超过任何我曾经，我也不相信任何世俗的东西可向会出现如此异常的白色和辉煌。他的手是赤身露体，他的手臂也一点点的手腕上面，因此，也被他的脚裸，因为是他的腿，一小脚踝上方。他的头和脖子也光秃秃的。
I could discover that he had no other clothing on but this robe, as it was open, so that I could see into his bosom.我可以发现他没有别的衣服上，但是这件袍子，因为它是开放的，这样我可以看到他的怀里。"Not only was his robe exceedingly white, but his whole person was glorious beyond description, and his countenance truly like lightning. The room was exceedingly light, but not so very bright as immediately around his person. When I first looked upon him, I was afraid; but the fear soon left me. "He called me by name, and said unto me that he was a messenger sent from the presence of God to me, and that his name was Moroni; that God had a work for me to do; and that my name should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues, or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people. “这不仅是他的长袍极其白人，但他整个人被描述光荣超越，他的相貌确实像闪电。屋子里非常轻，但他周围的人不会立即这么明亮的。当我第一次看他时，我害怕，但害怕很快就离开了我。“他叫我的名字，对我说，他是我从一个信使发送的神面前，他的名字叫莫罗尼;上帝有一个为我工作这样做，并认为我的名字是人的善良与邪恶之间的所有国家，家系，和舌头，或者它应该是既善良与邪恶之间的所有发言。 "He said there was a book deposited, written upon gold plates, giving an account of the former inhabitants of this continent, and the source from whence they sprang. “他说有一书交存，板金写经，给一大陆居民户口本的是前者，从他们的来源何处兴起。
He also said that the fulness of the everlasting Gospel was contained in it, as delivered by the Savior to the ancient inhabitants; "Also, that there were two stones in silver bows - and these stones, fastened to a breastplate, constituted what is called the Urim and Thummim - deposited with the plates; and the possession and use of these stones were what constituted Seers in ancient or former times; and that God had prepared them for the purpose of translating the book.他还表示，福音充满永恒载于它，为救主所发表的古代居民，“此外，有两块石头在银弓-这些石头，固定在一个盾牌，构成了所谓乌陵和土明-交存板块，以及拥有和使用这些石头是什么构成时代先知在古代或前，并认为上帝已经为他们准备的书翻译的目的。
"Again, he told me, that when I got those plates of which he had spoken - for the time that they should be obtained was not yet fulfilled - I should not show them to any person; neither the breastplate with the Urim and Thummim; only to those to whom I should be commanded to show them; if I did I should be destroyed. While he was conversing with me about the plates, the vision was opened to my mind that I could see the place where the plates were deposited, and that so clearly and distinctly that I knew the place again when I visited it. "After this communication, I saw the light in the room begin to gather immediately around the person of him who had been speaking to me, and it continued to do so, until the room was again left dark, except just around him, when instantly I saw, as it were, a conduit open right up into heaven, and he ascended until he entirely disappeared, and the room was left as it had been before this heavenly light had made its appearance. “同样，他告诉我，当我谈到了这些板块，而他已经完成-为他们的时间，但应获得不-我不应该告诉他们的任何人，无论是胸乌陵和土明的;只有那些人我应该向他们展示吩咐，如果我做我应该被销毁。尽管他与我交谈板关于，开放的愿景是在我脑海中，我可以看到的地方，板存入，而这样明确和清晰的地方，我知道当我再次访问它。“经过这次沟通，我看到室内的灯光开始聚集在我周围的人立刻他谁曾发言，并继续做所以，直到再次离开黑暗的房间里，除了刚身边，当我看到空，因为它是一个管道打开直到进入天堂，他登上直到他完全消失，剩下的空间，因为它已被提交这天灯已出现。
"I lay musing on the singularity of the scene, and marveling greatly at what had been told to me by this extraordinary messenger; when, in the midst of my meditation, I suddenly discovered that my room was again beginning to get lighted, and in an instant, as it were, the same heavenly messenger was again by my bedside. "He commenced, and again related the very same things which he had done at his first visit, without the least variation; which having done, he informed me of great judgments which were coming upon the earth, with great desolations by famine, sword, and pestilence; and that these grievous judgments would come on the earth in this generation. Having related these things, he again ascended as he had done before. “我躺在沉思现场奇异的，和赞叹信使大大在这个非同寻常的东西已经告诉给我的，当在我的沉思之中，我突然发现我的房间又开始得到点燃，并在瞬间，因为它是天上的使者一样再次由我的床边。“他开始，并再次讲述了同样的东西，他第一次访问做了他的变化，至少没有哪做了，他告诉我的伟大的判决，是地球的未来时，所用剑荒凉的大饥荒，瘟疫，并认为这将严重来判断地球上的这一代。经相关的这些东西，他再次登上像他那样过。 "By this time, so deep were the impressions made on my mind, that sleep had fled from my eyes, and I lay overwhelmed in astonishment at what I had both seen and heard. “到这个时候，是我心灵深处的印象时，该睡了我的眼睛逃离，和我躺在淹没在惊讶于我所看到和听到。
But what was my surprise when again I beheld the same messenger at my bedside, and heard him rehearse or repeat over again to me the same things as before; and added a caution to me, telling me that Satan would try to tempt me (in consequence of the indigent circumstances of my father's family), to get the plates for the purpose of getting rich.但我惊讶的是什么时，我再次看见我的床边相同的使者，听他复述或重复一遍给我的东西和以前一样，并增加了一个谨慎给我，告诉我，撒旦会试图引诱我（在结果父亲的家庭贫困的情况下我的），获得致富板块为目的。 This he forbade me, saying that I must have no other object in view in getting the plates but to glorify God, and must not be influenced by any other motive than that of building His kingdom; otherwise I could not get them.这一点，他不让我，说我必须有其他板块没有得到对象在视图中，但去赞美上帝，并不得影响他们没有得到任何其他的动机可能比他的王国的建设，否则我。 "After this third visit, he again ascended into heaven as before, and I was again left to ponder on the strangeness of what I had just experienced; when almost immediately after the heavenly messenger had ascended from me the third time, the cock crowed, and I found that day was approaching, so that our interviews must have occupied the whole of that night. “在此之后第三次访华，他再次跻身前天堂，而我又留给思索陌生的我刚刚经历，当几乎天上的使者后，立即从我有时间登上第三，公鸡打鸣，我发现这一天的临近，使我们的采访必须占领了整个晚上的。
"I shortly after arose from my bed, and, as usual, went to the necessary labors of the day; but, in attempting to work as at other times, I found my strength so exhausted as to render me entirely unable. My father, who was laboring along with me, discovered something to be wrong with me, and told me to go home. I started with the intention of going to the house; but, in attempting to cross the fence out of the field where we were, my strength entirely failed me, and I fell helpless on the ground, and for a time was quite unconscious of anything. "The first thing that I can recollect was a voice speaking unto me, calling me by name. “我从后不久出现了我的床，和往常一样，到这一天所需的劳动力，但有时，在试图在其他工作，我发现我的力量，以便使我筋疲力尽，以完全不能。我的父亲，谁是和我一起劳动，发现东西是我错了，并告诉我回家。我家开始与有意的去，但是，在试图越过栅栏出在我们的领域，我实力完全没有我，我跌倒在地上无助，并一度相当无意识的东西。“首先，我能记得是一个声音对我说，我所要求的名字。 I looked up, and beheld the same messenger standing over my head, surrounded by light as before.我抬起头，看见了我的头一样的使者站在光前包围。He then again related unto me all that he had related to me the previous night, and commanded me to go to my father and tell him of the vision and commandments which I had received.然后，他又对我有关他的所有有关我的前一天晚上，吩咐我去告诉我的父亲收到了他的远见和我的诫命。"I obeyed; I returned to my father in the field, and rehearsed the whole matter to him. He replied to me that it was of God, and told me to go and do as commanded by the messenger. “我服从，我回到我的父亲在外地，并排练了整个事情给他。他回答说，我认为它是神，并告诉我去，做使者吩咐的。
I left the field, and went to the place where the messenger had told me the plates were deposited; and owing to the distinctness of the vision which I had had concerning it, I knew the place the instant that I arrived there.我离开了现场，并到存放地点信使告诉我的盘子;及由于它明显有关的视野，我有过，我知道这个地方的瞬间，我到那里。"Convenient to the village of Manchester, Ontario county, New York, stands a hill of considerable size, and the most elevated of any in the neighborhood. On the west side of this hill, not far from the top, under a stone of considerable size, lay the plates, deposited in a stone box. This stone was thick and rounding in the middle on the upper side, and thinner towards the edges, so that the middle part of it was visible above the ground, but the edge all around was covered with earth. "Having removed the earth, I obtained a lever, which I got fixed under the edge of the stone, and with a little exertion raised it up. “纽约村方便的曼彻斯特，安大略县，新建，站在山上的大小相当，和邻里最高架任何。论这山的西侧，前不远处，在一个相当大的石大小，奠定了板，盒存放在一块石头。这种石头是厚和侧进位上的中路，和对边缘较薄，所以说，它的中间部分是地面以上可见，但四周边缘上覆盖着地球。“在消除了地球，我得到一个杠杆，我下了石头固定的边缘，并提出一点点消耗它。 I looked in, and there indeed did I behold the plates, the Urim and Thummim, and the breastplate, as stated by the messenger.我看着，也确实有我看哪牌时，乌陵和土明，和盾牌，作为信使所指出的。

Joseph Smith states that he received the record from the angel Moroni in September, 1827.约瑟夫史密斯说，他收到天使莫罗尼纪录从9月，1827年。It was, he alleges, engraved upon metallic plates having the appearance of gold and each a little thinner than ordinary tin, the whole forming a book about six inches long, six inches wide, and six inches thick, bound together by rings.据他称，环刻在一起时所约束金属板的外观有黄金，每一点厚度小于普通锡，形成一整本书约6英寸长，6英寸宽，6，英寸厚。 The characters engraved upon the plates were in a language styled the Reformed Egyptian, and with the book were interpreters -- Urim and Thummim -- by means of which these characters were to be translated into English.板块的特点后，刻在埃及的改革的一种语言风格，并与书中的翻译-乌陵和土明-通过这一手段将这些字符是英文翻译成中文。 The result was the "Book of Mormon", published at Palmyra, New York in March, 1830; in the preface eleven witnesses, exclusive of Joseph Smith, the translator, claim to have seen the plates from which it was taken.其结果是“，摩门经”3月发表在巴尔米拉，在纽约，1830年，在序言中11个证人，独家约瑟夫史密斯，译者声称已经看到了它所采取的板材了。 witnesses -- declared this testimony false.--证人-宣布这一虚假证词.--
The "Book of Mormon" purports to be an abridged account of God's dealings with the two great races of prehistoric Americans -- the Jaredites, who were led from the Tower of Babel at the time of the confusion of the tongues, and the Nephites who came from Jerusalem just prior to the Babylonian captivity (600 BC). According to this book, America is the "Land of Zion", where the New Jerusalem will be built by a gathering of scattered Israel before the second coming of the Messiah.在“摩门书”看来是一对Nephites删节方言，占神的两个伟大民族的交往与史前美国人-领导Jaredites人，谁从巴别塔的时间在混乱的谁来自耶路撒冷的前夕巴比伦圈养（公元前600年）。根据这本书，美国是“锡安土地”在新耶路撒冷将是以色列兴建一个搜集散落在弥赛亚第二次来临。 The labours of such men as Columbus, the Pilgrim Fathers, and the patriots of the Revolution, are pointed out as preparatory to that consummation. The work of Joseph Smith is also prophetically indicated, he being represented as a lineal descendant of the Joseph of old, commissioned to begin the gathering of Israel foretold by Isaias (11:10-16) and other ancient prophets.作为哥伦布等人的劳动，父亲的朝圣者，和革命的爱国的，指出了为筹备该完善。史密斯的工作也预言约瑟夫表示，他是老派的约瑟夫的直系子孙委托，开始搜集以色列的先知预言伊萨亚斯（11:10-16）和其他古代。
In another part of his narrative Joseph Smith affirms that, while translating the "Book of Mormon", he and his scribe, Oliver Cowdery, were visited by an angel, who declared himself to be John the Baptist and ordained them to the Aaronic priesthood; and that subsequently they were ordained to the priesthood of Melchisedech by the Apostles Peter, James and John.史密斯在另一部分约瑟夫申明他的叙述，而翻译的“摩门书”，他和他的文士，奥利弗考德里，探访了一个天使，谁宣称自己是施洗约翰和祝圣他们Aaronic铎铎; ，随后又被任命担任Melchisedech神职人员由使徒彼得，雅各和约翰。According to Smith and Cowdery, the Aaronic priesthood gave them authority to preach faith and repentance, to baptize by immersion for the remission of sins, and to administer the sacrament of the Lord's Supper; the priesthood of Melchisedech empowered them to lay on hands and bestow the Holy Ghost.据史密斯和考德里，Aaronic铎铎给他们权力，鼓吹信仰和悔改，为施洗的罪孽浸泡的减免，以及管理的晚餐圣餐主的;的Melchisedech神职人员的授权他们注重手和赐圣灵。
The "Book of Mormon" being published, its peculiar doctrines, including those just set forth, were preached in western New York and northern Pennsylvania. Those who accepted them were termed "Mormons", but they called themselves "Latter-Day Saints", in contradistinction to the saints of former times.在“摩门书”出版，其独特的理论提出了公正，包括那些被鼓吹在宾夕法尼亚州西部和北部的纽约。那些谁接受了这些被称为“摩门教徒”，但他们称自己为“摩门教”在对比前时代的圣人。 The "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" was organized on 6 April, 1830, at Fayette, Seneca County, New York; Joseph Smith was accepted as first elder, and prophet, seer, and revelator.在“圣徒教会耶稣基督后期日”举办了1830年4月6日，在费耶特，塞内卡县，纽约;约瑟夫史密斯被接纳为第一个老人，和先知，先见和启示者。

Six months after its inception, the Mormon Church sent its first mission to the American Indians -- called in the "Book of Mormon" the Lamanites, "the degenerate remnants of the Nephite nation." 6个月后成立以来，摩门教派首次访问美国印第安人-国家呼吁在“摩门书”的Lamanites“的Nephite退化的残余。”Oliver Cowdery was placed at the head of this mission, which also included Parley P. Pratt, a former preacher of the Reformed Baptists, or Campbellites.奥利弗考德里被放置在Campbellites头这个使命，其中也包括帕利体育普拉特，或前浸礼会牧师的改革。 The missionaries proceeded to northern Ohio, then almost a wilderness, where Elder Pratt presented to his former' pastor, Sidney Rigdon, a copy of the "Book of Mormon", published several months before.传教士前往俄亥俄州北部，然后几乎是一片荒野，在那里向他的老普拉特前者牧师，悉尼里格登，一本出版的“”摩门经，几个月前几个。 Up to that time Rigdon had never seen the book, which he was accused of helping Smith to write.截至当时里格登从未见过的书，他被指控帮助写史密斯。The Mormons are equally emphatic in their denial of the identity of the "Book of Mormon" with Spaulding's "Manuscript Story", now in Oberlin College; they quote in this connection James H. Fairchild that institution, who, in a communication to the "New York Observer" (5 February, 1885), states that Mr. LL, Rice and he, after comparing the "Book of Mormon" and the Spaulding romance, "could detect no resemblance between the two, in general or detail".摩门教是同样身份的有力否定了“摩门书”与斯波尔丁的“手稿的故事”，现在在奥伯林学院，他们在这方面飞兆半导体引述该机构詹姆斯阁下，谁在给沟通“纽约观察家“（1885年2月5日），当地雇员先生指出，赖斯和他本人，比较后的”摩门书“和斯波尔丁浪漫”，它可以检测到两个或两个，一般细节之间没有任何相似之处“。
Elder Cowdery and his companions, after baptizing about one hundred persons in Ohio went to western Missouri, and, thence crossing over at Independence into what is now the State of Kansas, laboured for a time among the Indians there. Meanwhile the Mormons of the East, to escape the opposition awakened by their extraordinary claims, and to be nearer their proposed ultimate destination, moved their headquarters to Kirtland, Ohio, from which place, in the summer of 1831, departed its first colony into Missouri -- Jackson County in that state having been designated as the site of the New Jerusalem.埃尔德考德里和他的同伴，经过洗礼约100人前往俄亥俄州密苏里州西部，并从那里跨越独立时所形成的目前的堪萨斯州，东辛劳，一时间之间的印第安人那里。摩门教徒的同时， ，为了躲避声称自己非凡的反对唤醒，并建议将接近其最终目的地，迁移总部柯特兰，俄亥俄州，从哪个地方，在1831年夏天，离开殖民地第一次进入密苏里-杰克逊县在这国家已被指定为新耶路撒冷现场。
Both at Kirtland and at Independence efforts were made to establish "The United Order", a communal system of an industrial character, designed to make the church members equal in things spiritual and temporal.双方在柯特兰和独立作出了努力，建立“美国秩序”，一个事物的公用系统在平等的工业性质，目的是使成员教会的精神和时间。 The prophet taught that a system had sanctified the City of Enoch, whose people were called "Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness," with "no poor among them".先知告诉我们，一个神圣的制度锡安城以诺“，其人被称为，因为他们考虑到了一个心脏和一，和义住在”与“没有穷人，其中”。 He also declared that the ancient Apostles had endeavoured to establish such an order at Jerusalem (Acts 4:32-37), and that, according to the "Book of Mormon", it had prevailed among the Nephites for two centuries after Christ.他还宣布，古老的使徒一直努力建立这样一个，为了在耶路撒冷（徒4:32-37），而且，根据“摩门书”，它已经流行百年基督后分散到两个Nephites的。
In the latter part of 1833 trouble arose between the Mormons and the Missourians, based largely, say Mormon writers, upon a feeling of apprehension concerning the aims and motives of the new settlers.在1833年下半年的麻烦之间发生的摩门教徒和密苏里州，主要依据，摩门教作家说，当一个新的定居者感到忧虑有关的目的和动机的。 Coming from the north and the east, they were suspected of being abolitionists, which was sufficient of itself to make them unpopular in Missouri.即将从东部和北部的，他们被怀疑是废奴主义者，这本身并不足以使他们的密苏里不受欢迎研究。It was also charged that they intended to unite with the Indians and drive the older settlers from the land. The Mormons asserted their innocence of these and other charges, but their denial did not avail.也有人指责说，他们准备联合起来与印第安人的土地和驱动器从旧的定居者。所称的摩门教徒的收费和其他无辜的这些，但他们拒绝没有利用。 Armed mobs came upon them, and the whole colony -- twelve hundred men, women, and children -- were driven from Jackson County, and forbidden on pain of death to return.武装暴徒来到他们，整个殖民地- 1200男人，妇女和儿童-被赶出杰克逊县，禁止对死亡的痛苦回报。
In Ohio the Mormons prospered, though even there they had their vicissitudes.在俄亥俄州的摩门教繁荣，但即使在那里他们有沧桑。At Kirtland a temple was built, and a more complete organization of the priesthood effected.在柯特兰庙建，以及更完整的神职人员组织实施。Mormonism's first foreign mission was opened in the summer of 1837, when Heber C. Kimball and Orson Hyde, two of the "twelve apostles of the Church", were sent with other elders to England for that purpose.摩门教的第一个外国的任务是揭开了1837年夏天，当希伯正Kimball和奥森海德，“两的”十二使徒的教会，他们的目的，该派与其他长者英格兰。 While this work of proselytizing was in progress, disaffection was rife at Kirtland, and the ill-feeling grew and intensified until the "prophet" was compelled to flee for his life.虽然这种传教工作的进展是在，在充满不满是柯特兰和恶感增长和“加强，直至”先知被迫逃亡，他的生命。It is of importance to bear in mind that the opposition to the Mormons in the localities where they settled is, from the contradictory and divergent statements made by the Latter-Day Saints and the neighbours not of their belief, difficult of explanation.这是重要的铭记的，难以解释反对摩门教的信仰在各地的地方不是他们的邻居，他们是定居，从矛盾的圣徒和不同的后期所作的发言。 It is safe to assume that there was provocation on both sides.它是安全的假设，有两个方面的挑衅。The main body of the Mormons, following their leader to Missouri, settled in and around Far West, Caldwell County, which now became the chief gathering place.在摩门教的主体，他们的领导人到下面的密苏里州，定居在靠近远西，考德威尔县现在成了主要聚集的地方。The sect had been organized by six men, and a year later was said to number about two thousand souls.该教派组织了由6名男子，并在一年后，据说约有2000灵魂。In Missouri it increased to twelve thousand.在密苏里州则上升到1.2万。A brief season of peace was followed by a series of calamities, occasioned by religious and political differences.阿和平简短赛季之后是一系列灾难的政治分歧，引起了宗教和。The trouble began in August, 1838, and during the strife considerable blood was shed and much property destroyed, the final act in the drama being the mid-winter expulsion of the entire Mormon community from the state.麻烦的8月开始，1838年，并在国家内乱相当多血棚，财产被毁，从社会行为的最后冬被驱逐摩门教戏剧中期整个。
In Illinois, where they were kindly received, they built around the small village of Commerce, in Hancock County, the city of Nauvoo, gathering in that vicinity to the number of twenty thousand.在伊利诺伊州，在那里他们热情接待了他们围绕商务部的小村庄，在汉考克县，瑙夫城市如此，聚集在附近的20000号码。 Another temple was erected, several towns founded, and the surrounding country occupied.另一座寺庙被架设，成立几个城镇，以及周边国家占领。Up to this time there had been no Mormon recruiting from abroad, all the converts to the new sect coming from various states in the Union and from Canada.截至这个时候有从国外招聘了摩门教没有，所有的转换到新教派从加拿大飞来，在欧盟各国。In 1840-1 Brigham Young and other emissaries visited Great Britain, preaching in all the principal cities and towns.在1840-1841年杨百翰和其他使者访问了英国，在所有的城镇说教和主要城市。Here they baptized a number of people, published a new edition of the "Book of Mormon", founded a periodical called the "Millennial Star", and established a permanent emigration agency.在这里，他们洗礼的人民数目，出版了新版本的“”摩门经，创立了期刊称为“千禧之星”，并建立了一个永久性的移民机构。 The first Mormon emigrants from a foreign land -- a small company of British converts -- reached Nauvoo.从第一个摩门教移民异乡-英国的小公司的转换-达成瑙夫。by way of New York, in the summer of 1840.约克的新方式，在1840年夏天。Subsequently the emigration came via New Orleans.随后，通过移民来到新奥尔良。
The Legislature of Illinois granted a liberal charter to Nauvoo, and, as a protection against mob violence and further drivings and spoliations, the Mormons were permitted to organize the "Nauvoo Legion", an all but independent military body, though part of the state militia, commanded by Joseph Smith as lieutenant-general.伊利诺伊州立法机关获得自由宪章瑙夫，并作为对暴民暴力spoliations保护和进一步drivings以及摩门教获准举办“瑙夫军团”，全面而独立的军事机构，虽然部分国家的民兵一般指挥约瑟夫史密斯中尉。 Moreover, a municipal court was instituted, having jurisdiction in civil cases, as a bar to legal proceedings of a persecuting or vexatious character.此外，市法院被提起，具有案件管辖权的公民，作为一种法律程序，以一杆迫害或无理取闹的性质。
Similar causes to those which had resulted in the exodus of the Mormons from Missouri brought about their expulsion from Illinois, prior to which a tragic event robbed them of their prophet, Joseph Smith, and their patriarch, Hyrum Smith, who were killed by a mob in Carthage jail on 27 June, 1844.来自密苏里州类似的原因而对这些摩门教徒有导致外流的带来的伊利诺伊开除，在这之前，一个悲惨事件暴徒抢劫他们的先知，约瑟夫史密斯，他们的元老，海鲁姆史密斯，谁杀害了一个在迦太基监狱于1844年6月27日。 The immediate cause of the murder of the two brothers was the destruction of the press of the Nauvoo Expositor, a paper established by seceders from Mormonism to give voice to the wide indignation caused by the promulgation of Smith's revelation of 12 July, 1843, establishing polygamy, which had been practised personally by the prophet for several years.两兄弟立即引起的谋杀是一夫多妻制的破坏建立新闻界的瑙夫1843年，成立expositor的文件，由seceders由摩门教给声音，7月的广泛愤慨造成12颁布史密斯的启示，其中已实行数年亲自为先知。 Another avowed purpose of this paper was to secure the repeal of the Nauvoo Charter, which the Mormons looked upon as the bulwark of their liberties.本文的另一个目的是要公开宣布争取废除后的瑙夫宪章，而摩门教看作是他们的自由堡垒。The "Expositor" issued but once, when it was condemned as a public nuisance by order of the city council, its printing-office being destroyed and its editor, Foster, expelled.在“expositor的”，但一旦发出，当它被指责为公众造成滋扰由议会秩序的城市，其印刷办公室被破坏，它的编辑，福斯特，驱逐出境。 This summary act of anti-Mormon sentiment, and, on Smith's preparing to resist by force the warrant procured by foster for his arrest, the militia were called out and armed mobs began to threaten Nauvoo.总结这摩门教情绪行为的反，和逮捕，对史密斯的准备以武力抗拒的，他需要为购买的培养，共出动民兵和武装暴徒开始威胁瑙夫。
At Carthage was a large body of militia, mustered under Governor Thomas Ford to compel the surrender of Nauvoo.在迦太基是一个大的民兵组织，福特纠集下总督托马斯迫使瑙夫交出。Smith submitted and repaired to Carthage, where he and his brother Hyrum, with others, were placed in jail.史密斯提交和维修，以迦太基，在那里他和他的兄弟海鲁姆别人，与被监禁放在研究。Fearful of a bloody collision, the governor disbanded most of his force, and with the remainder marched to Nauvoo, where the Mormons laid down their arms.碰撞恐惧的血腥，总督解散他的部队大部分，并与其余游行到瑙夫，那里的摩门教放下武器。During the governor's absence, a portion of the disbanded militia returned to Carthage and assaulted the jail in which the Mormon leaders were imprisoned, shooting Joseph and Hyrum Smith, and all but fatally wounding John Taylor; Willard Richards, their fellow-prisoner, escaped unhurt.在省长的情况下，一迦太基部分民兵回到了解散，并殴打关押监狱中的摩门教领导人，射击约瑟夫和海鲁姆史密斯，几乎致命的伤害约翰泰勒;威拉德理查兹，他们的同胞囚犯，躲过一劫。
In the exodus that ensued, Brigham Young led the people westward.在随后发生的外流，杨百翰带领人民向西。Passing over the frozen Mississippi (February, 1846), the main body made their way across the prairies of Iowa, reaching the Missouri River about the middle of June.在经过冷冻密西西比（2月，1846年），主要机构，由艾奥瓦州的草原路对面，6月中旬到达密苏里河有关。A Mormon colony, sailing from New York, rounded Cape Horn, and landed at Yerba Buena (San Francisco) in July, 1846.一个摩门教殖民地，纽约帆船从新建，圆合恩角，并降落在耶巴布埃纳（旧金山）在7月，1846年。Prior to that time only a few thousand Americans had settled on the Pacific Coast, mostly in Oregon, which was then claimed both by Great Britain and the United States.在此之前，各国有时间只有几千美国人已经解决了美国在太平洋海岸，主要是在俄勒冈州，这是当时均声称，英国和。So far as known, no American had then made a permanent home in what was called "The Great Basin".因此，目前所知的情况，美国当时没有作出什么叫一个永久的家在“大盆地”。The desert region, now known as Salt Lake Valley, was then a part of the Mexican province of California, but was uninhabited save by Indians and a few wandering trappers and hunters.在沙漠地区，现在谷称为盐湖，当时是加州部分省墨西哥，但无人居住节省印第安人和一些流浪狩猎者和猎人。
The Mormon pioneers, marching from the Missouri River in April, 1847, arrived in Salt Lake Valley on 24 July.摩门教的开拓者，从密苏里河行进在4月，1847年，谷抵达盐湖城7月24日。This company, numbering 143 men, 3 women, and 2 children, was led by Brigham Young.这家公司，编号143的男子，3名妇女和2名儿童，分别由杨百翰。Most of the exiles from Nauvoo remained in temporary shelters on the frontier where they entered into winter quarters in what is now Nebraska.瑙夫大多数流亡者从留在临时庇护站，他们在边境进入冬季宿舍在现在的内布拉斯加州。Well-armed and disciplined, they accomplished the journey of over a thousand miles to Salt Lake Valley without one fatality.装备精良，纪律严明，他们完成了1000英里的旅程超过去盐湖城谷无一人死亡。A few days after their arrival they laid out Salt Lake City.几天后，他们的到来，他们制定了盐湖城。
The people left upon the Missouri migrated in the autumn of 1848, and after them came yearly to the Rocky Mountains, generally in Church wagons sent to the frontier to meet them, Mormon emigrants from the States, from Europe, and from other lands to which missionaries continued to be sent.在密苏里州的人离开后，在1848年秋季迁移的，他们来到后每年向洛矶山车，一般在教会派往边境，以满足他们，摩门教移民从美国，欧洲，从哪些其他土地传教士继续被发送。 Most of the converts were drawn from the middle and working classes, but some professional people were among them.转换大部分是来自中产阶级和工人阶级，但一些专业人士，他们当中有。
While awaiting the time for the establishment of a civic government, the Mormons were under ecclesiastical rule.在等待政府的时间建立一个公民的，摩门教的教会统治之下。Secular officers were appointed, however, to preserve the peace, administer justice, and carry on public improvements.世俗的人员被任命，但是，维护和平，管理公正，公开进行改进。These officers were often selected at church meetings, and civil and religious functions were frequently united in the same person.这些人员往往选择在教堂举行会议，与公民和宗教活动的人常常在同一团结。But this state of affairs did not continue long.但这种状况并没有延续很长的。As soon as a civic government was organized, many of the forms of political procedure already in use in American commonwealths were introduced, and remained in force till statehood was secured for Utah. In March, 1849 thirteen months after the signing of the treaty by which Mexico ceded this region to the United States, the settlers in Salt Lake Valley founded the provisional Government of the State of Deseret, pending action by the American Congress upon their petition for admission into the Union.随着政府尽快举办了一个公民，联邦程序，美国已在使用中的许多政治的形式进行了介绍，并仍然有效，直到建国是在犹他州获得的。今年3月，1849年13个月后签订的条约，其中墨西哥本地区割让给美国，湖流域定居者建立了犹他州盐临时政府的国家之前，美国国会所采取的行动后，其联盟的入学申请进入。 Deseret is a word taken from the "Book of Mormon", and signifies honey-bee.犹他州是，蜂蜜1字采取“从摩门经”和标志。Brigham Young was elected governor, and a legislature, with a full set of executive officers, was also chosen.杨百翰当选州长，与立法机关，行政人员与全套也被选定。Congress denied the petition for statehood, and organized the Territory of Utah, naming it after a local tribe of Indians.国会否定了建国请愿，并组织了犹他领地，它后命名印第安人部落的地方。Brigham Young was appointed governor by President Millard Fillmore (September 1850) and four years later was reappointed by President Franklin Pierce.布里格姆扬被任命为省长皮尔斯总统米勒德菲尔莫尔（1850年9月）和4年后再次被任命为总统富兰克林。The period between 1850 and 1858, during which the Mormons defied the authority of the Federal Government, is one of the least creditable chapters of their history.政府1850年和1858年之间的时期，在此期间，摩门教无视联邦的权威的，是一个可信的历史篇章他们的最少。
One reason given for the persistent hostility to the Mormons was the dislike caused by the acrimonious controversy over polygamy or plural marriage.摩门教的一个原因给予持续的敌意是一夫多妻或不喜欢对一夫多妻制引起的激烈争论。Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, claimed to have received a revelation and a command ordering him to re-introduce plural marriage and restore the polygamous condition tolerated among the pre-Judaic tribes.斯密约瑟的摩门教创始人，声称收到了启示和命令命令他重新引入多元化和恢复一夫多妻婚姻状况部落之间的容忍前犹太教。 Polygamy now became a principle of the creed of the Latter-Day Saints, and, though not enforced by the laws of the Mormon hierarchy, was preached by the elders and practised by the chiefs of the cult and by many of the people.一夫多妻制的原则现在成了圣人的信条第一天的后期，而且，虽然不是强制执行的摩门教层次的法律的，是由长者宣扬邪教和实行的由首领和许多人的。 The violation by the Mormons of the monogamous law of Christianity and of the United States was brought to the attention of Congress, which prohibited under penalty of fine and imprisonment the perpetuation of the anti-Christian practice, refusing, however, to make the prohibition retroactive.美国违反了美国法律的一夫一妻制摩门教基督教和被提请大会注意事项，其中拒绝禁止在刑罚和罚款，监禁的做法长期存在的反基督教，但是，为了使禁止溯及既往。 The Mormons appealed to the Supreme Court, which sustained the action of Congress, and established the constitutionality of the anti-polygamy statutes.摩门教上诉到最高法院，国会的持续行动，并成立了法规的合宪性反一夫多妻制。
The Latter-Day Saints, strangely enough, submitted to the decrees of Congress, unwittingly admitting by their submission that the revelation of their founder and prophet, Joseph Smith, could not have come from God.后期圣徒，奇怪的是，提交给国会的法令，承认他们不自觉地提出的，揭示其创始人和先知斯密约瑟不可能来自上帝。If the command to restore polygamy to the modern world was from on High, then, by submitting to the decision of the Supreme Court, the Mormon hierarchy reversed the apostolic proclamation and acknowledged it was better "to obey man than to obey God". So long as Utah remained a territory there was much bitterness between her Mormon and non-Mormon citizens, the latter termed "Gentiles".如果该命令恢复一夫多妻制的现代世界是从高，然后层次，由摩门教的决定提交到最高法院，推翻了使徒的宣讲，并承认这是更好地“服从”人，而不是服从上帝。因此只要仍然是一个领土犹他州摩门教公民有多少辛酸与她的摩门教徒和非，后者称为“异教徒”。 The Mormons submitted, however, and their president, Wilford Woodruff, issued a "Manifesto" which, being accepted by the Latter-Day Saints in General Conference, withdrew the sanction of the Church from the further solemnization of any marriages forbidden by the law of the land.摩门教提交的，然而，他们的总统，威尔福德伍德拉夫，发表了“宣言”的，被接受的圣徒在大会由后者，退出禁止由法律制裁的任何婚姻教会往常进一步从土地。 One of the results of this action was the admission of Utah into the Union of States on 6 January, 1896.行动这方面的一个结果是美国犹他州入场使该联盟在1896年1月6日。
Instances of the violation of the anti-polygamy laws subsequent to the date of the "Manifesto" having been brought to light, the present head of the Church (1913), President Joseph F.Smith, in April, 1904, made the following statement to the General Conference assembled at Salt Lake City, and it was endorsed by resolution and adopted by unanimous vote:轻的实例向违反反一夫多妻制的法律提请以后的日期的“宣言”被人，1913年）提出的教会负责人（总统约瑟夫史密斯楼，4月，1904年，发表以下声明向大会聚集在盐湖城，这是第赞同，并一致表决通过：

BELIVE Editor's Note相信的编者的话I have long seen an apparent problem with the Book of Mormon, which no Mormon has yet suitably explained to me.我早就看到了明显的问题向我解释了摩门经，这是任何摩门教尚未适当。I look forward to learning the explanation!我期待着学习的解释！The Book of Mormon has many references to Jesus and dates based on the birth of Jesus.摩门教书有许多人提到耶稣出生的耶稣和以数据为基础。An example is:一个例子是： BOOK OF MORMON 3:4.摩门经3:4。And it came to pass that after this tenth year had passed away, making, in the whole, three hundred and sixty years from the coming of Christ, the king of the Lamanites sent an epistle unto me, which gave unto me to know that they were preparing to come again to battle against us. 而过了这第10个年头后已去世，制作，在整个三百六十〇年从基督的来临，该Lamanites国王的书信送到一对我，这赐给我知道他们正准备再次来到我们的战斗是针对。 There are hundreds of such references in the Book of Mormon.目前在摩门经数百这种提法。But there seems to be two really obvious problems!但似乎有两个真正的突出问题！First, all the activity described in the Book of Mormon of that era supposedly occurred in North America, possibly near New York.首先，所有的活动中所描述的时代簿的摩门教派的所谓发生在北美纽约，可能附近新建。There really could have been no possible way for the people in the Book of Mormon to even KNOW that Jesus had been Born 7,000 miles away on the other side of the Earth!真有可能是摩门经没有可能的方式为人们甚至知道耶稣出生了7000英里远的地球另一边的！ However:但是： 2nd NEPHI 25:19.第二尼菲25:19。For according to the words of the prophets, the Messiah cometh in six hundred years from the time that my father left Jerusalem; and according to the words of the prophets, and also the word of the angel of God, his name shall be Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 因为根据先知的话的，是百年弥赛亚降临的6名来自耶路撒冷时，我的父亲离开，并根据先知的话的，也是上帝的话的天使，他的名字将耶稣基督，上帝的儿子。 This passage confirms that they left the Mid-East for America 600 years before Jesus was Born.这段话证实，他们在对美国600年的中东地区之前耶稣诞生了。And they never went back.他们再也没有回去。So there was really no possible way for them to even know about Jesus, much less some details that are mentioned!因此，确实没有可能的方式让他们更了解耶稣，更提到一些细节，是！Such a reference seems to bring into question how the Book of Mormon could really be credible.这种提法似乎问题是如何使摩门教书真的是可信的。 There are other passages, such as 2nd Nephi 26:12 that refers to the Jews not accepting Jesus, and that the Gentiles also needed to be convinced. There is no possible way that people in America could have known such societal issues. 2nd Nephi 30:5 mentions the Christian Gospels, which did not come into existence for several generations after Jesus!还有其他的通道，如第二尼菲26:12，是指犹太人不接受耶稣和外邦人也需要说服。 没有任何可能的方式，美国人民可以知道这样的社会问题。第二尼菲30 ：5提到基督教福音，这并不存在生效后世代数耶稣！ Mosiah 3:8 even refers to Jesus' mother being named Mary! Mosiah 4:2 and many others refer to a religious system totally based on Jesus, a Person Who they had no way of ever even knowing Existed!Mosiah 3:8甚至提到耶稣的母亲被命名为玛丽！Mosiah 4:2和许多其他宗教系统是指一个完全的基础上，耶稣的人，他们没有办法甚至不知道存在过！By the way, nothing in the Old Testament ever referred to either Jesus or Christ, so for writers who allegedly wrote many hundreds of years before Jesus, in regularly using that Name, it also seems very odd. Helaman 5:9 refers to the atoning blood of Jesus, clearly showing more very intimate knowledge of Christianity that did not actually develop until well after Jesus had Died! 3rd Nephi 7:19 mentions various Miracles that Jesus Performed.顺便说一下，在老约没有提到过任何耶稣或基督，为作家谁据称耶稣面前说了几百年，在经常使用这个名称，它似乎也很奇怪。 埃拉曼5:9指的是赎罪耶稣的血，很清楚地显示出更亲密的基督教知识实际上没有发展，直到耶稣死了之后好！第三尼菲19:19提到的各种神迹，耶稣演出。 3rd Nephi 10 describes the Crucifixion. It just seems very peculiar that the people in America were allegedly familiar with hundreds of details related to Jesus' life, when they clearly could not have known such things! Or, in some cases, attitudes and beliefs that did not develop for many generations after Jesus Died.第三尼菲10描述了受难。 它只是似乎很奇怪，在美国的人都熟悉这样的事情据称数百名已知的细节有关耶稣的一生中，当他们显然不可能！或者，在某些情况下，态度和信念没有制定好几代之后耶稣死亡。 The second problem seems even more serious.第二个问题似乎更为严重。All those hundreds of references to dates were all specifically based on the Birth of Jesus.所有这些日期数百引用都明确的基础上耶稣的诞生。Accepting that they could somehow have become aware of Jesus, this represents a spectacular problem!他们可以以某种方式接受，已成为耶稣知道，这是一个壮观的问题！It turns out that nowhere in the world was anyone yet using any calendar that was based on Jesus!原来，在世界上是没有出路的人尚未使用任何耶稣是根据日历上！In general, the AUC calendar system of the Roman Empire was used (Jesus being Born around AUC 750).在一般情况下，罗马帝国的AUC采用日历系统（耶稣出生大约是750联合自卫军）。It was only hundreds of years later, what we now call 525 AD that a Monk did all the necessary calculations and first suggested the Christian calendar we know today.这只是后来的几百年，我们现在呼吁公元525僧做了所有必要的计算和第一次建议，我们知道今天的基督教日历。 And even that was not broadly used until around 500 years after that!甚至说是没有得到广泛的使用，直到大约500年后！It even turns out that that Monk was apparently about four years off in his calculations.它甚至原来，这和尚显然计算了约4年中他的。 So, if no one in the world was then using any calendar that was based on the Birth of Jesus, and the Plates were allegedly created around 420 AD, and that even a hundred years after that, that Monk was around four years off in attempting to determine the Birth of Jesus, then how could the people in the Book of Mormon be using a calendar that did not yet exist, and more, COULD not yet have existed? 因此，如果没有世界中的一个当时使用任何耶稣的日历，是根据出生的，和板，据说公元420左右创建的，而且甚至100年后，该和尚是4年左右在试图关闭确定耶稣的诞生，又怎能摩门经书的人在使用一个日历，尚不存在，而更多的，还不能存在？ Now, there could be a wonderful benefit from this investigation! Say that there WAS some way to confirm that the Book of Mormon was EXACTLY CORRECT regarding such dates.现在，有可能是一个美好的好处从这个调查！说有一些方法来证实，摩门经是完全正确的就这些日期。 That seems to imply that it would NOT be subject to the basic flaw in the Christian calendar system where all modern dates are actually probably about four years wrong!这似乎暗示，它将不受这些年来的基本缺点，错误的基督教日历系统，所有现代的日期实际上可能对四！ In other words, if there is a logical and credible explanation for these matters, we might actually have a BETTER analysis for EXACTLY when Jesus was Born!换句话说，如果有一个合乎逻辑的解释这些问题和可信的，我们实际上可能有一个正好是在进一步分析时，耶稣诞生了！ All we know for now is that we THINK Jesus was Born in the Spring of probably 4 BC.现在我们所知道的是，我们认为耶稣出生于公元前4春季可能。It would be wonderful if there is solid credibility of the Book of Mormon where a more accurate determination were available to us!这将是美好的，如果我们有坚实的信誉书的摩门教其中一个更准确地确定了可用！ Again, I look forward to a logical explanation from some Mormon who is knowledgeable about this issue.同样，我期待着这个问题摩门教一些合乎逻辑的解释谁是知识。 Of hundreds that I have talked to, none seem able to explain it!数百我交谈过的，似乎没有一个能解释它！And THAT would be a really serious problem!这将是一个非常严重的问题！Without a credible explanation for the calendar issue, it sure seems logical that Joseph Smith, around 1820 and a teenager and relatively uneducated, was unfamiliar with fact of the 525 AD start of the very first Christian calendar.如果没有一个可信的日历问题的解释的，它肯定似乎是合乎逻辑的约瑟夫史密斯，1820年左右的少年和相对没有受过教育，是基督教与事实不熟悉的日历的第一公元525开始的非常。 That situation seems to suggest that a critic might easily conclude that Joseph Smith was actually making up the things he was claiming to be translating from the Plates.这种情况似乎表明，一个批评家很容易得出结论，约瑟夫实际上是虚构出来的东西，他自称是从翻译板。It does not seem possible that Joseph Smith could have made that grievous mistake, hundreds of times, if the text is not what it has always been described to be.这似乎并不可能是约瑟夫史密斯可以说了这严重的错误，数百次的，如果文本是不是它一直被形容为。And therefore, if Joseph Smith actually produced an accurate translation of the Plates, how would it be possible for those Plates to have contained so many hundreds of impossible references to a calendar that did not yet exist? If the Plates existed, it then seems to imply that Joseph Smith must have made many hundreds of errors in translating them!所以如果约瑟夫史密斯在实际生产一板准确翻译，如何才能将那些板，内有这么多的数百尚无不可能提到一个日历没有？如果板存在，那么它似乎意味着斯密约瑟翻译他们必须已在许多数以百计的错误！ That would not reflect well regarding how well the rest of the Book of Mormon could be relied on!不过，这并不反映好就如何好摩门教其余的图书可以依靠！ So, I have two questions that seem pretty serious to me!所以，我有两个问题似乎相当严重，我！How could the people in America know if and when of Jesus' Birth, and many minor personal details regarding His mother (which were often actually wrong but virtually identical to NON-Biblical texts [which we have included in BELIEVE]) from the centuries following Jesus' life, to somehow build an entire religious system based on Him, without any logical way of ever even learning that He was Born?怎么可能在美国的人都知道，当且出生时，耶稣的，许多世纪以来以下未成年人的个人详细资料，他的母亲（这往往其实是错误的而且几乎相同，以非圣经文本[而我们在此列）于信]从耶稣的生活，不知何故建设的不断学习，甚至是他出生于一个完整的逻辑方式的宗教体系的基础上他，没有任何？ And how and why would the Book of Mormon consistently use a calendar system that did not yet exist?如何以及为什么会摩门教书一贯使用的日历系统，尚不存在？ I attempt to have an open mind about all approaches to religion, but I expect any such a religious system to at least make a moderate amount of common sense.我尝试有办法所有宗教开放的态度有关，但我相信任何一个宗教系统，至少可以在一个共同的感觉适量。It is easy to historically prove that no Christian calendar existed or even could have existed.这是很容易的历史证明，没有基督教日历存在，甚至可能存在。A religion needs to either provide an explanation for such a complication, or to simply state that no requirements of common sense or logic are required.宗教需要提供必要的解释或者这种并发症，或者仅仅是国家意识，或者没有任何要求是共同的逻辑。 There have been a few authorities of the LDS Church who have sent in extremely critical e-mails!有电子邮件当局对一些关键摩门教教会谁发出极为！Often, the writer then has made statements which he felt were believable, but which were often clearly efforts to obfuscate the concerns expressed here.通常情况下，笔者当时已经作了发言，他认为是可信的，但往往被明确努力混淆这里所表达的关切。Some have claimed that there have never been any variations in the texts of Mormon central works (which is easily and obviously proven wrong).有些人声称，从来没有被证明是错误的，明显的变化，相传在文本区的工程（这是很容易）。One tried to generate a strange new history regarding Egyptian Hieroglyphs, where he claimed that such a language was in active and extensive usage around 420 AD.试图创造一个新的历史对于一个陌生的埃及象形文字，他声称，这种广泛使用的语言是与周围420名活跃的广告。That is also easily confirmed as untrue.这也很容易不真实证实。Others have claimed that the actual text of the Book of Mormon did not include any date references and that such comments were only added in at a later time!也有人声称，摩门书的实际文本不包括任何日期的引用，而这些评论只添加在稍后的时间！No serious scholar or researcher would tolerate sources CHOOSING to alter their source texts from time to time!任何严肃的学者或研究人员都不会容忍的来源选择改变他们的源文本不时！ In any case, for as intellectual and educated as the LDS Church seems to try to present itself, it is very disappointing in that their Church chooses to try to spin such subjects of concern rather than actually facing them.在任何情况下，作为智力和教育作为摩门教教会似乎要以本身，这是非常令人失望，他们在选择自己的教会，试图主体的自旋等表示关注，而不是真正面对的问题。 I suspect they might find perfectly logical explanations for issues such as we have risen here, but if their attitude is that no one is even ALLOWED to raise questions about such things, then very little intellectual growth could ever occur. It seems to me that the LDS Church leadership needs to re-evaluate their attitudes regarding such things.我猜想他们可能会发现完全可以不断增长逻辑的解释发生的问题，如我们的生活在这里，但是如果他们的态度是，没有一个是提高的问题，甚至允许对这种事情，那么很little知识。看来我觉得，摩门教领导层需要重新评估他们的态度就这样的事情。 They seem to have a fine Church, but they clearly need to do some work to research and resolve some aspects of it.他们似乎有一个美好的教会，但他们显然需要做一些工作，研究和解决它的一些方面。 |
