Yes.
No. I believe God speaks to me every day in many different ways.
The Bible and the Universe itself. Both witness to their author.
Yes.
The Bible is a collection of books written and assembled by man.
Yes.
And since it teaches divine healing, salvation through the precious Blood of Jesus, and the Baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues, I also believe in those things.
Really?
What peculiar Mormon doctrines are taught in the Book of Mormon that are not taught in the Bible?
And where is the proof of the inspiration of the Book of Mormon or the accuracy of the translation?
What about Holy Tradition == the word of God that was handed down orally? But not written down.
There is a BIG differance between "IS THE BIBLE GODS WORD?" and "Do you believe the Bible is the only word of God?"
****Holding the “Douay” Roman Catholic Version of the Bible aloft in my hand, I ask, “Do YOU accept THIS Bible as the Word of God?” ****
From the preface to the KJV...From the Translators to the Reader.
1 Now to the latter we answer, that we do not deny, nay, we affirm and avow, that the very meanest translation of the Bible in English, set forth by men of our profession, (for we have seen none of theirs of the whole Bible as yet) containeth the Word of God, nay, is the Word of God.
• 2 As the King’s Speech which he uttered in Parliament, being translated into French, Dutch, Italian, and Latin, is still the King’s Speech, though it be not interpreted by every translator with the like grace, nor peradventure so fitly for phrase, nor so expressly for sense, everywhere.

• 11 The translation of the Seventy dissenteth from the original in many places, neither doth it come near it for perspicuity, gravity, majesty; yet which of the Apostles did condemn it?
• 12 Condemn it? Nay, they used it, (as it is apparent, and as Saint Hierome and the most learned men to confess) which they would not have done, nor by their example of using it, so grace and commend it to the Church, if it had been unworthy the appellation and name of the Word of God.

• 1 But it is high time to leave them, and to shew in brief what we proposed to ourselves, and what course we held, in this our perusal and survey of the Bible.
• 2 Truly, good Christian reader, we never thought from the beginning that we should need to make a new translation, nor yet to make of a bad one a good one, .... but to make a good one better, or out of many good ones, one principal good one, not justly to be excepted against; that hath been our endeavour, that our mark.
If you’re Mormon, maybe you can answer a question for me. Since they also accept the Bible, I’ve always wondered what Mormons think of Galatians 1:8-9.
“But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!”
Isn’t the Book of Mormon even sometimes referred to as “another gospel of Jesus Christ?”
LDS posts excerpt of Muslim article about Catholics, Protestants, Jehovah's Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists. What is wrong with that picture?
Yep!
Jesus is the Word Incarnate.
I actually enjoy reading the gospels that didn’t make it into the Bible, such as the gnostic gospels.
Protestants removed more than just the books listed in your excerpt. Lines here and there and at least two additional books.
I’m a King James Bible Only Christian. Never found another Bible to top it.
And no I don’t feel like debating anything. I’m just stating what I believe.
Figure the odds that's going to happen. LOL! I suspect it won't be long before the battles break out on this thread. :o)
