Tip of the Day February 8 – Trusting Wrong Translators

February 8 – Trusting Wrong Translators. 2 Peter 1:20-21 “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”

Ask a Mormon if they’ve ever seen, or read any info on the Dead Sea Scrolls. If you have the opportunity share the miracle of how God preserved them, and the process original scribes went through when God’s word was written. The good Lord would never leave such an important job with those who weren’t trained and educated to take special care of His story. The Bible tells us to beware so that we’re not led astray by the wicked who pervert His word – 2 Peter 3:17. The fact Smith pretended to interpret and rewrite scripture with no education is another proof he wasn’t a true prophet.
