I believe one word could destroy the Mormon Church if any Mormon is willing to think about they implications.
That word is "Raca" found in second Nephi.
I hate to have to spell it out to you but here is the problem and it is absolutely HUGE.
This was a word that the KJV translators did not know how to translate. They "transliterated" it.
Joseph is translating from the plates with his powers and is unable to translate the word and he also transliterates it.
The odds that out of all the words in the book of mormon that were translated just this one word could not be translated to English would be absolutely astronomical.
Also think about the odds that Joseph and the KJV translators happen to transliterate the exact same word.
I am being honest here but this one word really shows that Joseph did not use supernatural powers to translate the B of M.
The logical conclusion is Joseph just copied the KJV in this instance but even copying the KJV would not make sense since Raca is not a real word in English.
