But don't you see that the purpose of today's "devotional" was to show how the Protestant and Catholic Churches do not have the "fullness of the gospel" that the LDS Church purports to have?
****
Correction P-Marlowe today's LDS Devotional was NEVER about Protestant nor the Catholic Church as you said PM!
The talk never mention any other faith it was about awareness of what each of the LDS standard works contributed to the LDS understanding!
The devotional was about the LDS Standard Works which are the OT, NT, BoM, D & C and the POGP.
"I am particularly grateful for the help I received from the topical guide in the LDS edition of the Bible and also for the index in the new edition of the triple combination, which helped me find the references I wanted more quickly."
"The Bible makes this great statement and says that without the Savior we would perish. Paul discusses these things in 1 Corinthians and in Romans, but not as clearly as we would like."
"It takes the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price to explain more fully why we would have perished. We would have perished because of the fall of Adam; we being unable to save ourselves either from his fall or our own sins."

The main focus focus was about that the Book of Mormon as another Testament to Jesus Christ!
Matt. 18: 20
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Now that you are here maybe you can answer my question that was pulled:
Who appointed Jesus as the Beloved Son of God the Father?
And what position did Jesus have in heaven before he was appointed as the Beloved Son of God the Father?
I won't argue with your answers. I'd just like to know the official position.
Thanks.
This looks like promotion to me.

Not true ...Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:You know ... a thorough knowledge of what's in the Bible ... would demonstrate that you need no additional texts.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
It strikes as particularly clear ... that many who say that the Bible is not enough ... really don't know all that the Bible contains.
