Okay, Michael, you asked for it! Here's a list of New Testament useage in the BOM and I only used the NT because the fictional Nephites supposedly had the Old Testament. Please feel free to check my work and let me know if you find any mistakes. Don't take my word for anything; prove it to yourself.
I wrote it in a way that I could send it to people on either side of the issue and when you take this, combined with some of my recent posts about the mode of translation of the BOM, you'll see that Smith didn't use his own words at all; they were from God through the Urim and Thummim and he was merely the conduit. And that's what creates the major problems for the church. Members don't address these major problems because the church tells them it's not an issue, that's it's all cohesive, which it clearly is not.
Anyway, let me know what you think when you have time. I think I'll have to spilt it into several pieces because if its length.
