The Bible says about itself |
Book of Mormon says about the Bible |
Is Bible all-sufficient? |
"God's divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness" 2 Pe 1:3 |
"Wherefore, because you have a Bible you need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need you suppose that I have not caused more to be written. 2 Nephi 29:10 see also v3-6 |
Have parts of the Bible been lost and altered through the ages? |
"For you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and abiding word of God. For, 'All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls off, but the word of the Lord abides forever.' And this is the word which was preached to you." 1 Pe 1:23-25 |
The foundation of a great and abominable church (i.e. Mormons say Catholic church), which is most abominable above all other churches; for behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the Lamb many parts which are plain and most precious. And all this have they done that they might pervert the right ways of the Lord, that they might blind the eyes and harden the hearts of the children of men. Wherefore, thou seest that after the book (i.e. the Bible) hath gone forth through the hands of the great and abominable church, that there are many plain and precious things taken away from the book (i.e. the Bible). 1 Nephi 13:26-28 |
