Not suprising of a response - the bom clearly states one thing - ask-a-mormon replys with something completely bogus. Hmmmmm which do I rely upon. Should I beleive your apostles and prophets and seers views on the unreliability of the bible, or you.

I think the lurkers will see - there is no passage in the bom that testifies to its divinity - only to tear it down.

As an added note on topic, BYU Professor Richard L. Anderson spoke on the accuracy of the New Testament at the Fourteenth Annual Symposium of the Archaeology of the Scriptures and remarked:

"For a book to undergo progressive uncovering of its manuscript history and come out with so little debatable in its text is a great tribute to its essential authenticity. First, no new manuscript discovery has produced serious differences in the essential story. This survey has disclosed the leading textual controversies, and together they would be well within one percent of the text. Stated differently, all manuscripts agree on the essential correctness of 99 percent of all the verses in the New Testament."

Remarkable honesty here - probably because he is academic, instead of a polemical apologetic.

Then what you believe is at odds with what your church teaches.
