"We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly. We also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God."
Members of the LDS Church generally use the King James version of the Bible. It is one of the oldest and least translated versions of the Bible dating to 1611. The KJV is filled with language that is rich and poetic. It is one of the most widely used versions of the Bible.
LDS also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. It is the history and religous dealings of the people on the American continents before, during and after Christ's time on the Earth. I think it would be selfish to think that God only loved and spoke to people on the other side of the world. Even the New Testament says, "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold..." Many people who are not of our faith believe we have a false Bible or have replaced the Bible. This is not true. It serves as another testament of Jesus Christ. It isn't put above the Bible but as a companion scripture.
I always love your Sunday posts.

ReplyDeleteWe will miss you for a week! You probably won't want to blog anymore! :D
I love the King James version. The Bible is great. Too many Mormons haven't got a clue as to how wonderful it is.
