It is always good when readers comment. I can appreciate your sentiments regarding your view of the Book of Mormon as an LDS devotee, yet I must respectfully differ with you on your optimism regarding the relationship between the Bible and Book of Mormon. <br /><br />As I'm sure you surmised, I view the Bible as the only Book deemed worthy of the title "The Word of God". The Book of Mormon and the Bible have far more points of disagreement than agreement. The chief issues among the many that I could mention have to due with the Biblical vs LDS conceptions of the nature of God and the Person of Jesus Christ. <br /><br />I invite you to read a series of posts I wrote a while ago on this blogsite that compares the Bible to the Book of Mormon entitled: Christianity vs Mormonism. In that series I deal more in depth with the differences. If you cannot find the series, let me know. The search engine on this blogsite is pretty reliable, and you ought to find it with no problem. <br /><br />In that series I deal particularly with the doctrines and textual history of both books, concluding that the Bible alone is the trustworthy Word of God. <br />It is up to you as to whether or not you want to explore the series and the questions raised. I bid you blessing.<br /><br />mahlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398857921080520475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385083746048472996.post-46036614844292854422015-02-16T13:42:52.134-05:002015-02-16T13:42:52.134-05:00This is such a wonderful article, I love that it t...This is such a wonderful article, I love that it talks about the Bible's unparalleled authority as the Word of God. I just wanted to clarify information about the Book of Mormon- it was actually written by many men like the Bible, but it was translated by one man Joseph Smith.<br /><br />I'm LDS (also known as Mormon), and I LOVE the Bible. I love that the New Testament teaches about the life of Christ from the perspective of men that knew Him personally. I also love that the Book of Mormon teaches us of how God reached out to another group of people in the Americas, it shows that God loves all of His children throughout the world. <br /><br />I feel that the perspective that the Bible and the Book of Mormon bring through the eyes of the different people who wrote them is very powerful. They both are unified in that they testify of Jesus Christ as the Saviour of the world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00524956462743925025noreply@blogger.com
