The Book of Mormon scares ex Mormons tremendously because they know it does bring people unto Christ. They donโt want that.
A Few Pickings from the Book of Mormon Grapevine:
Alma 7:10 - Jesus born in Jerusalem
*Jesus was born in Bethlehem, which fulfilled Old Testament prophecy (Micah 5:2)
ย
Helaman 14:20,27 - About the death of Jesus (supposedly written in 6 BC) - skies darkened over the whole earth for three days.
*The biblical account is three hours, not three days.
ย
Mosiah 18:17 (147 BC) - โAnd they were called the church of God, or the church of Christ, from that time forward.โ The name Jesus Christ was not revealed before the New Testament.
Alma 46:16 (73-72 BC) - โAnd therefore, at this time, Moroni prayed that the cause of the Christians, and the freedom of the land might be favored.โ
*They were first called Christians at Antioch (Acts 11:26)

The Book of Mormon is filled with peoples who never existed, battles which did not take place, animals and artifacts that did not exist in ancient America. No archeological evidence has ever been found to prove any of it.
