In our look at the Church’s teachings on personal revelation, we’re wondering how someone can interpret if their revelations are correct through the lens of God’s word. This also serves as a good reminder of how the Lord has always kept His promise and speaks to us today just as He did in the beginning of time.
What a relief! What a relief it is for me and other ex-cultists knowing we have something to rely upon that isn’t filtered through someone else’s poor interpretation!
The Lord in His brilliant delivery used simple statements to ensure us His word will be the same for eternity. Thank You Lord! Our hearts grieve that Mormons have adopted the poor explanation of why they’ve rejected Jesus and His infallible word.
Ask the Mormon this: if someone said something bad about someone you loved, does their opinion make the statement true? If it doesn’t, then why would someone’s poor translation of the Bible mean the original writings can’t be trusted?
Ask who made the errors, where are the contradictions in the original writings, and when did this happen. Be specific.
Are you as a Mormon positive that Joseph Smith’s original writings are still intact? Are you aware there are at least 11 versions of Joe Smith’s first vision, and they contradict themselves? See First Vision of Joseph Smith for more info.

LDS Gospel Topics Inerrancy of the Bible; “As the Bible was compiled, organized, translated, and transcribed, many errors entered the text. The existence of such errors becomes apparent when one considers the numerous and often conflicting translations of the Bible in existence today. Careful students of the Bible are often puzzled by apparent contradictions and omissions. Many people have also been curious about references by biblical prophets to books or scriptural passages that are not currently in the Bible.”

Please pray that they’d question what their leaders are saying and for Jesus to intervene!
