Mormons would never “denounce the Bible” - you are mistaken. The Bible is precious to us. I should think you’d be a tad bit cautious about this since there hundreds of versions of the Bible and Christians can’t agree on which one is good, better, best . . . or worst.

Good point, although some of the conversations regarding proper interpretation are quite interesting. We are fortunate to have some impressive scholars here on FR.

_______________________________________________

Dont worry on my account...

The caution I practice is a strong one...

I denounce the false prophet Joseph Smith and all his vile, unrighteous writings...

I denounce mormonism as the foul, abusive cult that it is..

I believe in Jesus Christ the Righteous, the only begotten son of God...

Jeus Christ is my savior...

I need no man to help me get into Heaven...

jesus died of r me...

There is only one level of heaven and I am going to be there worshipping Jesus the Lamb of God, befoore the throne of God the Father, forever...

And I believe in the Holy Trinity...

Not the mormon trinity...

But the one consisting of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost..

 1 Timothy 3:2-3
 2.  Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
 3.  not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.

 

 

1 Timothy 3:12
   A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well.

 

 

 Titus 1:6
   An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.

THE BOOK OF JACOB
THE BROTHER OF NEPHI

CHAPTER 2

 

  24 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
  25 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.
  26 Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.
  27 Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
  28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
  29 Wherefore, this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
  30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things.
  31 For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow, and heard the mourning of the daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem, yea, and in all the lands of my people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands.
  32 And I will not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts, that the cries of the fair daughters of this people, which I have led out of the land of Jerusalem, shall come up unto me against the men of my people, saith the Lord of Hosts.

‘Hundreds’ of ‘versions’ is a big, big, big stretch.
A version does not change the doctrines of the original, but updates the translated words to the current common usages for clear understandings of the passages.

The Christians I know use the concordances to get to the original words and meanings, for themselves, and they learn the ways the original words are used in the other passages, when they want to study the Word and compare Scripture with Scripture to understand context.

Barring the mis-informed KJV only crowd, the Christians I know do not believe any translation is “inspired”, but that only the original manuscripts were.
The Christians I know use more than one translation for their studies, and still use the concordances for themselves, when studying the Word.
