The "old english" in this text seems incredibly forced. The phrase "it came to pass" occurs 1,297 times; while the Bible, which is more than three times as large, only has an occurrence of 452 times. The parts that don't seem forced appear to be plagiarized from the King James Version of the Bible (ex. 1 Nephi CHAPTERS 20-21 are Isaiah CHAPTERS 48-49).

Is it the Word of God? I can't say. What I can say is that it's one of the worst written sacred/holy texts I've ever read.
