The more likely story is that Mr. Smith took the story directly from the KJV, and lied about its origins to people that didn't know any better
Anything's possible actually.
Joseph Smith was a "seer" (a medium) before he turned his vision of Christ and all that goes with it into a "new / old" god belief.
You're misunderstanding the contradiction -- the BoM was supposed to be on golden plates that had been buried prior to 500AD, so how did the text of a book from 1600AD show up in it? Time machines?

And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. (Book of Moroni 7:45)
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7 King James Version)

In my 60 year quest to find God and truth in religion - - Atheism was the result.
"Many years earlier Bill was told (by the North American high master of druidism he studied under) that if he ever got into spiritual trouble he should join the Mormon church. The reason being is that church had been started by witches for witches to hide out while appearing nice, conservative Republicans. He was pleased to be personally told by the Mormon prophet, elder Faust, that the god of the Mormon temple was Lucifer.
Mormon missionaries tend not to use the word ‘mor-mon’ since it means ‘gates of hell’ in china.

"The gods that are relative to each religion are continually manufactured in the minds of those that are enslaved. The indoctrination of the masses by religion has led to a brainwashed society that is easy for the Illuminati to take control of.
Every major religion in the world has been infiltrated by the Illuminati. A group that calls themselves Light Feet has installed Illuminati members in every major religion of the world. The purpose of these Light Feet is to ensure that the masses are controlled by their respective religion." Source

Religion is the very LAST place you will ever find God and truth.
The entire agenda and purpose behind false religion is to keep the truth HIDDEN.
Atheism and religion are NO different, BOTH are part of the SAME agenda
Both are nothing more than stealth mind control tools.
Religion and truth have nothing in common.
THIS is why the religious leaders of the world HATE the truth.
Joseph Smith was well known as a practical joker who was famous for elaborate ‘jokes’ on his family and others in his sphere of influence.
The Mormon ‘archangel’ bears the name ‘MORONi’.
Coincidence? I think NOT...
I suspect that the whole Mormon ‘religion’ is Smith's most elaborate practical joke of all time.

I went looking...
I went looking for spirit... Found alcohol.
I went looking for soul, and I bought some style.
I wanted to meet God, but you sold me religion.

Good thing that Paul's copyright expired a couple thousand years ahead of Smith, eh?
The Prophet did not “translate” the Bible in the traditional sense of the word—that is, go back to the earliest Hebrew and Greek manuscripts to make a new rendering into English. Rather, he went through the biblical text of the King James Version and made inspired corrections, revisions, and additions to the biblical text. Both the Lord and Joseph Smith consistently refer to the process of these inspired revisions and additions as “translation” www.lds.org... deNav=1/en-en/

I am just stating what Mormon friends of mine have said...
It's a room that is blue, with clouds where there are angels painted on the walls. It's it's a room to go and meditate it, and basically nothing more, or that is all they would say.
We could all do that, right?

Thanks for the "insight".
Religion is man made.
You're only as sick as your secrets.
I'm still laughing at this. Pleas don't take any of this serious. Secret handshakes, gold curtains and Colonel Sanders. These people think that when they get to "heaven", they will all sit around on puffy clouds and eat ice cream from golden plates.
Religion is the last place you want to discover spirituality. These are the wolves in sheep's clothing that stand at the very door (veil) to salvation and turn people away from the spiritual enlightenment that they came all this way to find. See it for what it is... a total letdown. Meaning less, false hood and tripe.

Be honest, you have no clue!
Pontius Pilate: What is truth?
Pontius Pilate: What is truth, Claudia? Do you hear it, recognize it when it is spoken?
Claudia Procles: Yes, I do. Don't you?
Pontius Pilate: How? Can you tell me?
Claudia Procles (Pilate's wife): If you will not hear the truth, no one can tell you.
