You denigrate the Bible with your lengthy self-serving post (even tossing in a bit of mormonism proselytizing for effect), and then try to dismiss the asseertion that mormonism apologist at FR denigrate the BIble? Bwahahaha, your meds need adjusting.

So what did I say about the Bible that was not true? Let me re-list my off the top of my head points:

Have you heard of The Johannine Comma?

Which Bible is it that's complete, the Catholic, or the Protestant one?

Why isn't the book of Enoch (quoted by in all the Gospels and by Jesus himself in the Bible? (it's in the dead sea scrolls as part of the scriptures)

Why are there so many different Bibles, new ones being added seemingly every day? (Somebody thinks they need a new version interpreted their way...)

So is it denigration to point out the truth? (anti's keep claiming that is all they are doing, you can't have it both ways...)

The more you protest without actually addressing the substance, the more often this will be posted in response to your bald assertions that I am denigrating the Bible which just isn't true.

Please address the Johannine Comma first, this should be good.

OK, DU which version of the Book of Mormon is inspired? Was it the first truncated version of 116 pages? (The one he gave to Martin Harris, whose wife lost it?) Those 116 pages were never "re-translated." So because of that, is the only truly inspired Book of Mormon the original gold plates? (Sounds like to me it would be). Does that reality--not having the ONE good translation of the BoM--keep Mormon folk from reading & trusting in the BoM? (Nope). So it sounds like a double standard you're using, right? (Yup)

“Bible” means collection of books.
One can have in their collection books that are written by men who know God and which books are true and are historical, but which are not “Thus saith the LORD”. Their books will not contradict anything that is written as “Thus saith the LORD, if they are indeed true. Joseph Smith’s books contradicted “Thus saith the LORD”.

FYI: Enoch 1 is included in the list of Canon by the Ethiopian Coptic Church, and it has been since the beginning of the NT Church in Ethiopia.
The Book of 1 Enoch confirms all OT and NT doctrines about the Person and work of the LORD Jesus Christ. It was written for the world, for all nations, and it was written for it’s own day and also for this “day”, which is why it was brought back from Ethiopia in the late 1700’s and translated to English in the early 1800’s; for the Holy Spirit has overseen it coming into fashion again, in the west, so that those who seek the LORD who are left alive on earth in the day of tribulation -after the Believers in Christ are taken out of the midst of the earth- will understand. That is what the opening of it begins with, and that is what Jude quoted from.
The final book, Revelation, given us by Jesus Christ is only a fulfillment of all that Enoch first saw, and the one explains the other.

There is nothing any man has written since Revelation of Jesus Christ that is a word from God in any manner, shape, or form.

Men may write books expounding the Gospel of Christ, and they do write excellent books doing so, but there is nothing added or taken away from that which Jesus Christ has spoken, and His last word is the book of Revealtion.
