There is a "Book of Mormon: The movie". It isn't worth watching. The book is much better

And I'm not sure what constitutes a "valid" reason for accepting the Bible, or the Book of Mormon, or any other revelation. I guess because of acculturation, or because it resonates with one on an emotional (or I suppose adherents would prefer to say spiritual) level.

If one already accepts the Bible, and the BoM appears to conflict with the Bible, I guess that would seem like an insuperable obstacle. But virtually everything conflicts with the Bible, or can seem to. I can't really think of any compelling rational reason why Christians outside the historic churches (Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Catholic, Assyrian) would assume that their particular understanding of the Bible is more correct than the LDS understanding of it.

Neither. God has the last word.

We see the Book of Mormon, Bible, Doctrine & Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price as scripture. Each is important for a different reason.

I'm curious as to why one must have the last word over the other. Who according to your beliefs, has the absolute last word -- Matthew, Mark, Luke or John?

For a lot of people it tends to be Paul.

You may well be right.
However I would always try to see what Jesus said on a subject.
Before accepting what Paul says I would look to see how it chimes with Jesus other teachings.
Paul can often Give a very old testament slant on things.

The person to have the last word will be the Lord.

I can't believe I didn't see this thread until now...

I don't accept the Book of Mormon as true, primarily because it doesn't even get historical, archaeological, linguistic, biological, and textual things correct. If the Book of Mormon can't even get the physically observable things correct, then what are the chances that it is correct about the unobservable spiritual things?

Book of Mormon historically incorrect:
National Geographic Letter on the Book of Mormon - Document
Smithsonian Institution statement on the Book of Mormon - Document
Living Hope Ministries - Video
