Scripture Reference:
Contradictions within LDS Scriptures

One of the curious aspects about an examination of LDS scriptures is the fact that there are substantial and irreconcilable differences between doctrine as presented in the Book of Mormon and other LDS scriptures. If the Book of Mormon is "the most correct of any book on earth" then it stands to reason that either this claim is invalid, or the other LDS scriptures are in serious error (or both). (Thanks to Craig Schmall for compiling this list.)
