First that is actually not from the Book of Mormon itself, but was added later as a Forward.
As stated in post #279...
'From the INTRODUCTION of the Book of Mormon:
"The Book of Mormon is a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible... ...and contains, as does the Bible, the fulness of the everlasting gospel."...,'

Nevertheless, how is that blasphemous?
From the introduction to the Book of Mormon:
"...that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world,*that Joseph Smith is his revelator and prophet in these last days..."
From the Bible:
Hebrews 1:1-2, "GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets,*last of all in these days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the world;..."
How can Joseph Smith*be a prophet who came after Jesus Christ, when Scripture so clearly tells us in Hebrews 1:1-2 that Jesus Christ was the last of the prophets?
So either the Holy Bible is wrong and Joseph Smith really is a prophet who came after Jesus Christ?
Or
The book of Mormon is wrong and your founder Joseph Smith is neither HIS revelator nor is he a prophet?
Which is it?
Please don't blaspheme God's written Word by claiming that the Bible is in error!
It teaches what one needs to be saved. It is what the people needed since they didn't have the NT record.
Hebrews 1:1-2, definitively inform us that there will be no more divine revelation revealed after the teaching by the Word of GOD, Jesus Christ, to His Apostles. Divine revelation ended when the last Apostle died.*
First, that statement is not from the BoM, but was a statement Joseph Smith made about it which is not even in the book.
Tell that to the LDS who say in their INTRODUCTION to the bom....
'Concerning this record the Prophet Joseph Smith said: “I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.” '

I don't believe you will find the LDS church teaches that the Bible is inferior to the BoM.
You don't believe your own churches statement here?...
'Concerning this record the Prophet Joseph Smith said: “I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, THAN BY ANY OTHER BOOK.” '
