My chosen religion’s claims come directly from the scriptural source you choose to ignore.
That would be the B I B L E which in general Christians tend to ignore literally depending on what denomination they adhere to.
As to your issue with the eighth Article of Faith. Cheap excuse for taking issue as the Church of Jesus Christ itself has never in my memory taken issue with any particular source from the KJV regarding incorrect translation.
Why not stick to defending why you choose to postulate that Apostles and Prophets are unnecessary as well as Baptism which on the surface appears to be ignoring the source of those words.
Kinda makes ME wonder why JS thought it was so important to make it SCRIPTURE.
Even more, it makes ME wonder why GOD thought it was so important that JS should RE-TRANLATE the bible (creating the Inspired version) and insert MISSING parts that MEN had previously removed.
Got any thoughts along these lines?
I will 'defend' when YOU can explain why your chosen religion thinks they ARE 'necessary'.
I don't want to defend something that is not being attacked.
