Of course you would post that link.
Your Mormonism depends upon a denigration of all Bible translations, especially those that would make actual Christianity more accessible and understandable to the common people.
Did you know that the NIV contains records that were not available to the King James translators and so it is a more complete translation of extant earlier New Testament translations?
Of course you didn’t. Your Mormon Church would NEVER actually tell you the truth about the NIV, would it?
Actually, I posted it from his own posts. Have a great day!
And by “New Records” do you mean scripture not found in the KJV of the Bible. Wow! You mean, that particular version of a collection of work’s by Prophet’s over time, was not the COMPLETE doctrinal record over time. Of course, ANY Biblical SCHOLAR knows that ANY collection of books that make up a modern Bible don’t include the FULL record, or they’d easily be able to point to the Book (Epistle actually) that would make up 1 Corinthians, since “1st Corinthians” is actually a subsequent letter, and not “1st Corinthians” after all. Ergo, there are more and more texts not included in the Bible. The Bible is true, as far as correctly translated, and there are many translations, and not all of them correct.
The incomplete collection of works which are compiled into our current version of the Bible (And yes, some books were taken out, some added over the centuries, this is FACT, look it up), makes up scripture, but it is incomplete. You’re welcome.
That's a very good question, and I'm afraid there is no real easy way to answer. I've read accounts that say church membership is slowing, but other sources say we are growing. In fact, it is projected that we will approach the 200 million mark by century end.
