What is the LDS Restoration Built Upon?
Answers to Gospel Questions 2:161; “No Bible student today believes that the Bible has come down to us in its perfect and original appearance in the manuscripts. Scribes left out words and phrases, just as we do at times in typing, missing one whole line and thus changing the meaning. Moreover, the scribes added or interpreted according to their own opinions at times. These things are quite generally understood. Therefore we find errors and contradictions in the Bible.”
Joseph Smith Translation: The Restoration of Plain and Precious Things, pg 14; “As to latter-day revelation, as found in the Doctrine and Covenants and in the Pearl of Great Price, we have no problem. Since the Book of Mormon is true, it follows that Joseph Smith was a prophet, and hence it is easy to believe his revelations.
Where the Bible is concerned, things get a little sticky. Of course we believe it—always specifying the King James Version—but there is the reservation about parts not being translated correctly. And in some minds there seems to be a nagging uncertainty about the so-called Inspired Version.” – Monte S. Nyman, Charles D. Tate, Jr.
Matthew 5:18; “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”
If Mormonism was built upon prophetic verses in the Bible why are these men questioning the very source they claim predicted their prophet?
This doesn’t make any sense at all and proves they only use one verse here and there, plucked out of context, to prove what they have to offer.
You either believe the Bible or you don’t.
