Do Mormons believe in the Torah and/or the New Testament?

What do Mormons believe about the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), and about the New Testament? Do they believe they are corrupted?

I'm asking because on another question, someone said that Mormons didn't believe in the Torah. Is that true? What about the rest of the Old Testament?
The Torah is the first 5 books of the Law, that is: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

we are just a break off of Christianity (i just felt like adding that : ) ) we don't have/read the Torah, but we do read the bible (the normal king James version)and the book of Mormon : ) GO MORMONS! woo oho! : )

Mormons have there own belief .to answer your question . no the dint be live in the Torah. they have there own version of the bible . as well there book of Mormon to in my op ion no thin but a cult stay from them word of advise . read on your computer . no man knows my history. Joe. smith.

I am not a Mormon, but in the studies I have done, I have found that Mormons believe in the Torah and the NT> The problem is, they believe in it so long as it is correctly interpreted...by the leaders of the church. Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, said that the Bible and all it's teachers were corrupt. He claimed to have been given a new testament of Jesus Christ. The Mormons use Th Book of Mormon and The Pearl of Great Price as their ultimate authority on everything, including the OT and NT. There were literally thousands of errors in the original Book of Mormon when Joseph Smith received the Divine revelation. Those have been corrected, for the most part. There is also the contradictions of scripture and revelation that have taken place since then. At one point, the prophet, Joseph Smith and then the presidents of the church...Brigham Young, etc., stated as prophecy that Mormons will practice polygamy...that this was a commandment that shall be everlasting. After the US government told them that they will abandon that belief or get kicked out of Utah and the US, a new, everlasting commandment, came down from God to the president of the church saying you shall not commit polygamy. I hate it when gods are afraid of the government. Sorry, my Christian bias came through there.

The Torah is the form of the first five books of the Bible that all Christianity accept as part of the Old Testament. The Book of Morman (either form) is an extension of that, a new revelation of God's plan, just as Islam considers it the new contract, the new revelation of God's plan that super cedes and includes Christianity and Judaism as outmoded forms of religion, though necessary steps with great wisdom according to God's plan.

Is it really? That's not the question we were asked to answer.

It not their primary belief text.

The Torah is not the whole old testament, it's just parts. They read the whole bible. they don't "have their own version of the bible", they use the king James version, they're just printed by the LDS church because they don't like the added parts you get in a bible printed by a company of another denomination.

"The problem is, they believe in it so long as it is correctly interpreted...by the leaders of the church"

How is that a problem? Every christian denomination does the same thing, have their leaders interpret the bible, and that's why there's more than one denomination, because they can't agree on their interpretations.

"stated as prophecy that Mormons will practice polygamy...that this was a commandment that shall be everlasting. After the US government told them that they will abandon that belief or get kicked out of Utah and the US, a new, everlasting commandment, came down from God to the president of the church saying you shall not commit polygamy."

At the time polygamy was accepted by the lads church, Utah was not a state. Polygamy was advocated starting from the 1830s, and Utah became a state in 1896, therefore they could not be thrown out of the US because they were not in the US. It was never taught as a prophecy that all Mormons had to follow, it was an accepted practice in the community advocated by Joseph Smith among others.

I think the Mormon who said that (I saw the original post on that question as well) is getting the "Torah" and "Talmud" confused. For those who don't know, the "Torah" are the first five books of the Bible. The "Talmud" are commentaries written around 1000 AD by various Rabbis. The Torah can also refer to the OT in its entirety, although most Jews use "Tanakh" to refer to the OT (from the words for Torah, Prophesies, and Writings).

Mormons do believe in the Bible in its entirety, adding "So long as it is translated correctly" whenever they say they do. They also believe in the Book of Mormon, The Pearl of Great Price, Doctrine and Covenants, and I don't know what else. They have an "open canon" which means scriptures can come at any time.

Many Mormons talk about the Biblical Translations being corrupted which I find ironic since the Book of Mormon has been changed hundreds of times. If you don't believe me, compare the LDS BoM with that of the Community of Christ (who uses an early "revision").

If you've ever read the original Book of Mormon as "given" to Joseph Smith, it ain't pretty. Huckleberry Finn used better English than IL' Joe Smith.

Presumably, Mormonism extends beyond the Bible, which includes both the Old Testament [i.e., Torah aka Talmud = Jewish belief] and the New Testament [4 Gospels + epistles = Christian beliefs]. They also rely on other Books considered to be sacred writings of other prophets and scribes who belonged to one of the other tribes among the twelve tribes of Israel, including the Book of Moroni [?], among others.

As their sect's story goes, it was through a dream vision that Joseph Smith was led to the discovery of such a book, from which Smith wrote his own interpretations and which have formed their dogma and doctrines.

The polygamy aspect or doctrine of the Mormon church was promulgated during the early years of the sect by its founder, Smith, and the other elders, perhaps in order to propagate their membership at a faster rate than usual. But subsequently this practice was ceased by the U.S. government as being illegal, although certain members still continue to maintain polygamous relationships today. Mormonism prohibits the use and the sale of any alcoholic beverages in most of the State of Utah where they have since grown and continue to thrive.

Mormons do believe in the Old Testament and the New Testament. They believe that the Bible does not read as the original did, before it was tampered with. So they say: "We believe in the Bible as far as it is translated correctly." The Bible is a very old book; very likely we really do not have it in its original form.

Yes.. Mormons believe in the Torah and the New Testament. In fact they preach out of them at every service. Someone said they believe the Book of Mormon OVER the Bible. This is nowhere near true. In fact if you look at the teachings of Joseph Smith (The founder, also believed as a Prophet such as Moses or Abraham, etc) he rarely preached from the Book of Mormon. 95% of his teachings and sermons were on the Bible. Mormons hold the bible dear. It is even printed FIRST in their cannon of scripture (it is the King James Version, as Joseph Smith said this version was the closest to the original Hebrew texts). As for supposed differences in the Bible and Book of Mormon, Mormons (a nickname by the way) believe that there is no difference in the teachings, just wording differences arising from 2 separate prophets writing of the same event. As for the person who brought up the Adam and Eve thing... In both it says God said In the day theta partake they shall surely die.
Moses chapter 3 (from the LDS cannon)
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, nevertheless, thou ma yest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee; but, remember that I forbid it, for in the day thou ea test thereof thou shalt surely die.

Genesis chapter 2 (Bible)
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou ea test thereof thou shalt surely die.

If anything the fact that 2 separate people on 2 separate continents wrote about the same doctrine, proves that the doctrine of Christ is true. Again, if you want real information (on any topic, not just religion), go to the source, dont google a word and look for the bad, find out the facts from the source whether that be Catholics (go to theit official website) or Mormons (www.LDS.org)
