Since Mormonism was founded on their belief the Bible wasn't accurate, why do they ge
translated correctly by Mormon people i mean, since they are very clear they are the only ones with the priesthood authority to translate it.
their faith was founded on only believing 100 % of the bible if its "translated correctly" as they call it. Using book of Mormon too, to use with the bible..... So why do they get mad when we pick
their religion apart ? and question it ?
They are the ones that started this "questioning" and not believing, they were founded on the belief that the bible is flawed and needs Mormon help to correct it
If your Mormon answer is god didn't limit, why did he only give authority for Mormon to translate the bible ?
The Bible is translated from the original tongues. They translate it to their benefit. Anyone who questions what they used to believe in should study the history of each to find out the truth.
I love It when they say they use the KJV bible LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, no you do not, My bible doe OT have the JOSEPH SMITH FOOTNOTES in it so quit lying. Some say the bible is now complete and some say Joseph smith was killed too soon to complete the translation so as their article of faith says "as far as it is translated correctly." so why use it if thee Es still a question mark???
Why do most get angry when you question what they believe. Why do atheist argue with those that do believe. Why do Christians condemn them when they won't believe.
Just another religion that has some truths and some things that will mislead you and keep your soul bound to earth.
Believe what I teach or not, tell me I'm full of it, say I don't know what God is. Condemn me if you choose. Won't offend me in the least.
And the bible isn't fully accurate. Loving God that tells you to kill another. Not what God is.
there was a time where the world got a hold of the bible as it was being translated. during this time, many people wrote different things and what not, therefore, we believe the bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated CORRECTLY.
Because once you pick at it you unravel the lies that their whole minds are built on, some Russians at first mourned the loss of Communism as it was 'all they had ever known'
no belief system leads to nakedness and frustration
The point is not put all your eggs in one basket! The Mormons/LDS believe that God isn't limited in reveling his worth to one place and one time. That Revelation and God's teachings was given to a lot of people.
The biggest question is, why do other people get so mad when we tell them there are more teachings of Jesus Christ? Isn't more a good thing?
Because when you step on someones toes (in other words you found out their sins and lies) it hurts; their only defense is to get angry or defend with more lies. If you really want to know the truth of a group, person, sect or cult ask them to repeat these verses from their heart asking them before hand if they truly believe what they are saying:
Salvation Test: If you can say these four scripture verses and truthfully mean it from you heart then you are ready to be saved:
A."Jesus is Lord"(No man can make this statement, meaning it, except by the Holy Ghost, 1Cor.12:3)
B."Jesus is the Son of God"(He who confesses this God dwells in him, 1John 4:15;5:5.)
C."Jesus Christ is come in the flesh"(He who confesses this is of God, 1John 4:2, if he does not confess this he is anti-Christ, 2John 1:7)
D."Jesus is Christ"(If after one makes this statement,confesses they believe this,they are born of God,John 5:1)
These verses can also be used to test those who claim to be Christians or those who are about to be ordained.
In Jesus' Love

Translation is a very tricky process. You need to talk to a bi-lingual person, ask them this question. If we find 5 different people from various regions and ask them to translate a page of information from one language to another, you will get 5 different versions. Each one will be different, sometimes in a drastic way. The reason for this is because of a person's bias. You will find in the 100's of translations of the Bible today, many Christians will debate the doctrine in one or the other. Some outright refuse to use certain versions.
The LDS Church is God's religious organization on earth, therefore when it is translated under the direction of God, through Priesthood Power, we can get the closest representation that God wants us to hear. But even this is not infallible, it is our best effort.
Get this; some Christians believe the Bible is infallible, perfect, etc... Then they read from various translations of it. Do you get my point?
The Church was not founded on the belief that the Bible wasn't accurate. It was founded on the fact that the existing churches of the time were teaching beliefs which were man-made and not of God.
Mormon's believe that the books of the Bible, as they were first written by their authors, are true and correct, but over the centuries since then have corrupted by many translation, some unintentional and some deliberate. But, the Church believes that the KJV is the most accurate of any of the translations.
The KJV that the Church uses is the same as the KJV that other people use. To claim that the footnotes are translations is nit-picking. They are just there for members to use if needed to clarify a passage or reference one of the other scriptural books of the Church. You will find that many of these footnotes are simply showing the original Greek word used and its meaning.
The same goes for the little headers before each chapter, they are there just to give a brief synopsis of what that chapter has in it. This comes in handy for someone who is trying to find a particular passage but doesn't know exactly which chapter it's in. They don't have to read the entire chapter to see if they have the correct one. But this don't change the words of the chapter.
If you take the KJV that's on BibleGateway and compare it chapter to chapter, verse to verse, word to word to the body of the KJV the Mormons use you will find that they match identically.
There are several different versions of the Bible. The Catholics use different versions than Protestants and Evangelicals. Joseph Smith was saying that of all these different versions, we believe in the one that is translated correctly, which is the King James Version. This is not saying that the Bible is not true. We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far as it is translated correctly.
There are literally over 1000 translations of the Bible into English. So which one was translated correctly? After all, they can't all be perfectly right can they? So which is it?
Every Christian believes this but the Mormons are the only ones that spell it out. The rest admit quietly that some translations are better than others if they're being honest.
For the record, the LDS church didn't translate the Bible. We use the King James version.
