The Book of Revelations was not the last book of the Bible written. Its reference to “this book” is only to itself. If nothing written after Revelations could be scripture, then one or more of the Gospels would have to be excluded.

Majority rule is a scary thing but I probably picked a poor case to use to emphasise that point....The majority must allow behaviours which it finds unappealing in order secure the blessings of liberty for all. I agree, just wouldn't apply it to gay marriage. Tolerance of the protests would be a good example, though imo they're testing the legal boundries.

Do you deny that the Johannine Comma was not in the original text of I John?

I am Mormon, and believe (and know) that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; he suffered in Gethsemane and died on the cross for my sins, and was resurrected on the third day that I might be saved. His is the only name whereby salvation comes. You need to stop believing what the Mormon haters tell you and actually listen to an actual Mormon.

A seemingly minor difference in the wording of this simple text had a profound impact on European history. The Nicene Creed, or Symbol of Faith, was written by the First Ecumenical Council at Nicaea in 325 C.E., with additions (the 3rd paragraph and following) by the first Council of Constantinople (381). There is an unresolved controversy over the words 'and the Son' (in Latin filioque). This language was added in 587 by the local council of Toledo, Spain, in an attempt to combat the Arian heresy. Pope Leo III (795-816) forbade the use of the filioque version and had it engraved without 'and the Son' on the walls of St. Peter's Basillica. After a failed attempt to unite by marriage Charlemagne's Frankish holdings with that of the Byzantine Empress, Charlemagne challenged Byzantinium's claim of universal jurisdiction as the successor to Rome by claiming in 792 that among other things, that the Byzantines had omitted the filioque from the original text. The filioque was finally accepted by the Romans in the year 1014, and the revision has been part of Catholic doctrine ever since. The "filioque," the significance of Roman primacy, and geo-political conflict led to the the Great Schism of 1053. To this day, the Eastern Orthodox Churches do not accept the filioque and raise this as one of many reasons that prevent re-unification with the Roman Catholic Church. "It seems the claims of Mormonism and fullness of truth are only bolstered by attacking the veracity of the Word of God."
No it doesn't because it was well known that it wasn't part of the preserved gospel, except to John Smith of course. As for the bible, we all know, and so did Christ, that some of it it was "changed by the lying pen of the scribes" That's why we have the gospel.

“Make sure that no one traps you and deprives you of your freedom by some secondhand, empty, rational philosophy based on the principles of
this world instead of on Christ.”
Colossians 2:6-8

We Mormons would have no quarrel with that scripture. In fact, we think it is a pretty good description of the Nicene Creed.

You are free to believe it is garbage, we are free to disagree with you, and even to stake our lives on it. But, we should be able to work together on common issues, like preserving our freedom, and fighting perversions like gay “marriage.”

We are free to preach what we believe, as are you. We feel that we are commanded to preach the Gospel, as, I suppose, you do.
Again, we can work together, can’t we? Or are we Mormons just too awful to be included in the effort?
