Well I’m not religious anymore so I don’t really need luck in this discussion but I’ve read the Book of Mormon cover to cover at least 25 times before I left the church and I never saw a single passage that suggested that one bit. The book literally never shuts up about Jesus and refers to him as either God or the Son of God on literally thousands of occasions. As a missionary my mission President in mexico literally made us go through and underline each and every time Jesus Christ was mentioned and I think it worked out to like once every 3-4 verses or something. It was the most annoying homework assignment I’ve ever had.
Again, I don’t believe in the divinity of Christ myself anyway (although I’m a big fan) and I’m no longer Mormon so it’s even weird to be having this discussion right now but your statement was annoyingly, demonstrably false. The Book of Mormon may be technically untrue in that it’s clearly a work of fiction but it does literally nothing except point people to Jesus and encourage people to believe in him. To say otherwise is asinine.
It teaches a different gospel, one that denies the diety of Christ. Good luck with that.
