John 3:19-20; “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.”

Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 203; “Ignorance of the Nature of Spirits

“Try the spirits,” but what by? Are we to try them by the creeds of men? What preposterous folly—what sheer ignorance—what madness! Try the motions and actions of an eternal being (for I contend that all spirits are such) by a thing that was conceived in ignorance, and brought forth in folly—a cobweb of yesterday! Angels would hide their faces, and devils would be ashamed and insulted, and would say, “Paul we know, and Jesus we know, but who are ye?” Let each man of society make a creed and try evil spirits by it, and the devil would shake his sides; it is all that he would ask—all that he would desire. Yet many of them do this, and hence “many spirits are abroad in the world.” – Joseph Smith, April 1, 1842,  HC 4:571

…The Word of God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8

The God of the Bible is so faithful.  He protects all that He creates.  He gives His Word to His people so that if they read it they will know the truth. Throughout  the Old Testament whenever the Bible which was written on scrolls was lost or even destroyed God preserved His Word.  Lost scrolls were found in the temple, of course, and then the people were called to listen to the Word being read to them. This happened at the beginning of the reign of King Josiah (2 Chron. 34:15).

When  the stone tablets with the 10 commandments, were broken by Moses, who was angry at the people’s blatant idolatry, God restored them. After Moses had reestablished control in the camp and the evil doers punished, God told him to return up the mountain with 2 new tablets to receive the written Word again.

We’re continuing our article series based on the article by Greg Trimble titled, ‘51 Questions that might lead you to Mormonism’.

Since the next three questions in the article deal with whether or not the bible is trustworthy and accurate, I’d like to tackle all of them in one article.

Before we begin allow me to start off by asking my own question-

Why would a religion or an individual, claiming to be a Christian try to make you doubt God’s word?

Sadly, that’s what Mormons, and Mormonism attempts to do, as you’ll see by this question. As we think about our responses to the following questions we need to remember that while there are “apparent” contradictions in the bible, there’s no true contradictions. When we truly study the bible, we will see that it explains itself.

By this, I mean that even though there are difficult and hard to understand passages in the bible, if you study it, you will find your answers. You need to remember that the bible has roughly 40 different authors, and covers a time span of about 1400 years. All of them are speaking to different audiences, with different perspectives, and all have different writing styles.

With that said, here’s the first question:
