Looking for TRUTH in "the most correct book on earth"
"the keystone of the LDS Religion"
The Book of Mormon which
"would get a man nearer to God than any other book."
? Finishing the first seven books in the Book of Mormon, the only historically identifiable places or names are of Bible places and Bible names. There is no "America." I find no ancient archaeological references to any Book of Mormon place names other than various locations assumed by modern LDS sources. I find no archaeological references to any Book of Mormon people. It is common to read "possibly, likely" kind of references by LDS writings regarding Book of Mormon places and people. I realize that it is proposed that God builds faith by hiding authentication of Book of Mormon geography and history. Why then has God given such a great volume of authentication for Bible geography and history?
? Jarom says of the Nephites, they "multiplied exceedingly, and spread upon the face of the land, and became exceeding rich in gold, and in silver, and in precious things, and in fine workmanship of wood, in buildings, and in machinery, and also in iron, and copper, and brass, and steel, making all manner of tools of every kind to till the ground, and weapons of war..." Where is "exceedingly multiplied" evidence of such culture anywhere in the Americas.
? In Omni, Amaleki says that "Zedekiah" was king of Judah and carried away in captivity to Babylon. I find no reference to a King Zedekiah in the Bible.

Looking in these chapters of The Book of Mormon for "The Fullness of the Gospel" "The Restored Gospel" of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
i.e.: The GOSPEL? ... The PLAN OF SALVATION? ... The CHURCH? ... TEMPLES? ... KINGDOMS OF GLORY? ... The GODHEAD??
>>> Enos asked God how his "guilt was washed away?" God "sayeth unto him: "Because of thy faith in Christ,"
? Jarom said the prophets were "teaching the Law of Moses." But I have yet to see in the Book of Mormon any descriptions of what the Law of Moses contained,
? Amaleki talked about being "a partaker" of "salvation and redemption." He said: Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth, ye will be saved." Why no mention of all the other things that LDS teach that being saved requires. Things like, baptism, priesthoods, covenants, endowments, marriage, etc.?
