Here is a Microsoft Word document I’ve created with the full text of the Book of Mormon with all the punctuation removed.

Misunderstanding the six elements of the two types of spiritual death has in the past resulted in false doctrines such as original sin, infant baptism, universalism, theistic amorality, unjust God, and incomplete theodicy.
