What Ive been doing to the bible, I will now do with the Book of Mormon and I’ll do it to the Quran as soon as a find an online version of the Quran.
First Nephi 1:2
Yea, I make a record in the alanguage of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians.
The Egyptian language? That a strange language for an Israelite to write in.
1:19-20
1:19 And it came to pass that the Jews did mock him because of the things which he testified of them; for he truly testified of their wickedness and their abominations; and he testified that the things which he saw and heard, and also the things which he read in the book, manifested plainly of the coming of the Messiah, and also the redemption of the world.
1:20 And when the Jews heard these things they were angry with him; yea, even as with the prophets of old, whom they had cast out, and stoned, and slain; and they also sought his life, that they might take it away. But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance.
The Jews where wicked, preformed abominations and stoned prophets? Thats not a nice thing to say.

2:6
And it came to pass that when he had traveled three days in the wilderness, he pitched his tent in a valley by the side of a river of water.
A journey of over 200 miles (kilometers) in 3 days? It must have been a miracle.

2:8-9
And it came to pass that he called the name of the river, Laman, and it emptied into the Red Sea; and the valley was in the borders near the mouth thereof.
And when my father saw that the waters of the river emptied into the fountain of the Red Sea, he spake unto Laman, saying: O that thou mightest be like unto this river, continually running into the fountain of all righteousness!
A continuously flowing river from Arabia to the Red Sea, there is no such river, there was no such river.
It must have been a merical.
2:20
And inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper, and shall be led to a land of promise; yea, even a land which I have prepared for you; yea, a land which is choice above all other lands.
God made the Americas for Nephi and his family? But the Americas existed long before 600 BCE

4:9
And I beheld his sword, and I drew it forth from the sheath thereof; and the hilt thereof was of pure gold, and the workmanship thereof was exceedingly fine, and I saw that the blade thereof was of the most precious steel.
He had a steel sword? In 600BCE?
4:10-13
And it came to pass that I was constrained by the Spirit that I should kill Laban; but I said in my heart: Never at any time have I shed the blood of man. And I shrunk and would that I might not slay him.
4:11 And the Spirit said unto me again: Behold the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands. Yea, and I also knew that he had sought to take away mine own life; yea, and he would not hearken unto the commandments of the Lord; and he also had taken away our property.
4:12 And it came to pass that the Spirit said unto me again: Slay him, for the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands;
4:13 Behold the Lord slayeth the wicked to bring forth his righteous purposes. It is better that one man should perish than that a nation should dwindle and perish in unbelief.
Nephi was forced to kill Laban by the Spirit, his nephew.
It is better to kill an unbeliever so that a nation dose not “dwindle and perish in unbelief.”?
4:18-21
4:18 Therefore I did obey the voice of the Spirit, and took Laban by the hair of the head, and I smote off his head with his own sword.
4:19 And after I had smitten off his head with his own sword, I took the garments of Laban and put them upon mine own body; yea, even every whit; and I did gird on his armor about my loins.
4:20 And after I had done this, I went forth unto the treasury of Laban. And as I went forth towards the treasury of Laban, behold, I saw the servant of Laban who had the keys of the treasury. And I commanded him in the voice of Laban, that he should go with me into the treasury.
4:21 And he supposed me to be his master, Laban, for he beheld the garments and also the sword girded about my loins.
So Niphi and dressed in his cloths and was able to fool people into thinking he was Laban?
4:26
And he, supposing that I spake of the brethren of the church, and that I was truly that Laban whom I had slain, wherefore he did follow me.
Church? The Jews of 600 BCE had churches?
4:28
And it came to pass that when Laman saw me he was exceedingly frightened, and also Lemuel and Sam. And they fled from before my presence; for they supposed it was Laban, and that he had slain me and had sought to take away their lives also.
His disguise was so good it fooled Laban’s brother? Right.

And it came to pass that they did rejoice exceedingly, and did offer sacrifice and burnt offerings unto the Lord; and they gave thanks unto the God of Israel.
An animal sacrifice.
