The Bible is the word of God and should be believed.

(You forgot to add the Mormon leader caveat where they diminish the Bible's trustworthiness: "Insofar as correctly translated" -- then they don't even bother to hand out the supposed "correct translation" by Smith...JST)

The individual books of the Bible when they were originally written by the Prophets/Apostles were perfect and there was no need for any disclaimer. However, today we have many DIFFERENT versions of the Bible each with their own different meanings. And the Bible it self says that it is not complete.

John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.

If you want to trust your soul to the arm of flesh, and rely upon incomplete and in some cases incorrect translations, then go right ahead. I will continue to rely on the revealed word of God.
