There is revealed texts from the One God of creation that specifically says that He has spoken to all nations and it will be found to be the same thing. I have seen many of these proofs. Since August 1990 I began reading the Bible as though it meant what it said. What I found is that no religion is following what God sent to the prophets, so much so that it bears no likeness to the true religion.

Although God created Adam and Eve, after a while only the family of Noah was found faithful to God and the rest were destroyed by a world wide flood. The world population we have now has all come from the eight members of Noah's family. In Noah's day, he taught all God taught him through word and written record. As many moved away to different lands, many misunderstood or failed to read, write and live by the texts God directed. This alone caused many divisions, but it was still the same One God that inspired the beginning texts and future texts which He sent through prophets to correct and guide the people.

Commentaries from religious thinkers are where many errors come in. They take one written statement in sacred writings and disregard other statements that give clearer understanding. You must justify the scriptures so that they are both saying the same thing; then you will have true understanding.

"Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible you need not suppose that it contains all My word; neither need you suppose that I have not caused more to be written. For I command all men, both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the words which I speak unto them; for out of the books which shall be written I will judge the world, every man according to their works, according to that which is written." This is a small part of 2 Nephi 29 from the Book of Mormon, translated by the power of God through the prophet Joseph Smith Jr.

The prophet Muhammad in 600+AD received revelation about the Book of Mormon when he was told of "a book that had already gone forth for an appointed time" (Qur'an-Ahmad numbers: 42:15, 41:46; 20:130; 11:111) and "it shall be witnessed by chosen ones of God" (83:19-22) and "it is in a well guarded tablet."(85:23 The Book of Mormon confirms the prophet Muhammad in that Muhammad revealed something not known until 1800's. Muhammad also revealed a Book of Moses and a Book of Abraham. Both those writing are revealed by Joseph Smith Jr. in The Pearl of Great Price.
