Among the vast number of professedly inspired manuscripts, scattered through the world, man, poor, weak, ignorant man assumed the authority to select a few, which according to his frail judgment, he believed or conjectured were of God, but the balance not agreeing, perhaps, with his peculiar notions of divine inspiration, were rejected as spurious.
The few, selected from the abundance, were finally arranged into one volume, divided into chapter and verse, and named the Bible”. – Orson Pratt, Divine Authenticity of the Book of Mormon, p 3.
Isaiah 40:8; “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever”.
Whenever I go out and speak to a youth group I tell them we’re going to read this verse aloud as a group and if they don’t remember anything I told them they need to remember this verse.
Remembering what God has promised us will protect from being tricked into something like Mormonism.
The lies of Orson Pratt knew no bounds and I’ve often wondered if he’d dare say things like this to God face to face. The Lord made it perfectly clear His word is inspired and trustworthy! 2 Timothy 3:16
