There is a certain group of Christians that believe in “biblical inerrancy” or the idea that the Bible is 100% perfect. Mormons believe the Bible is true “inasmuch as it is translated correctly.” That is, Mormons believe the Bible was perfect as it was written by the pens of the original authors, but that through the years and various translations that people made mistakes in translating and that some changes were made intentionally. If you speak more than one language, then you know translations are never 100% accurate, because a word in one language does not always match up perfectly…

What do Mormons believe about the Bible? Don’t the Mormons have their own book they call a Bible but it’s not the same Bible other Christians use?
If you believe in the Bible, answer me this–where are the prophets and apostles? From Adam down to Jesus Christ there were prophets. It’s how we got the Old Testament. After Christ there were the apostles, and Peter was essentially a prophet as well. But somewhere in the hundred or so years after Christ the apostles disappeared. If God were a loving God, why would he give the ancient people prophets and apostles when hardly anyone lived on the earth, and today when there are billions of people on the earth provide no such direction? Sure, we have the Bible…
From Mormon Objections Answered:
Why do you never hear a Mormon say, “Pray about the Bible to see if it is true.”? This has always puzzled me. God’s Word does not need verification. It simply is true. But the Book of Mormon, on the other hand, must be prayed about (so they say).
The primary purpose of Mormon missionaries is to bring people unto Christ through the doorway of baptism. If missionaries went out saying “Will you pray about the Bible and if God tells you it is true, will you be baptized into the LDS Church?” how many people would get baptized?…
Oh, it’s even worse than that! Joseph Smith said “I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.”
Critics of Joseph Smith, Mormonism, and the Book of Mormon use this to set up a false scenario, saying at least implying that Mormons are disparaging the Bible. This has led to people thinking that Mormons don’t even use or believe in the Bible. This is simply not true. Mormons…
From a conversation between me and a friend of mine.
Q: The Bible is the final and only Word of God written to man.
A: If the Bible is God’s final word to man why doesn’t it say so? I know Revelations 22:19 says “And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” but “this book” refers to the book of Revelation, not the Bible, because the Bible didn’t…
