Like a burning bush? Or laying on someone to revive them? Or looking at a serpent to be healed? Those critical of the Lord have never liked His methods, and there was always ridicule of them, by the MAJORITY.
The fact is, it is KNOWN and GIVEN that the current Bible is missing texts. It’s incomplete, and that’s FACT. The problem you face is that you wouldn’t have fuel to ridicule people who believe differently if you acknowledged FACT, because then you would have to go back to acknowledging that you have nothing more than your ad hominem fallacies. There is a small and sad group of people who ping each other because they have little more to do than tear down a religion that they don’t like because, if you read your Bible, you’d know you need a scapegoat when you don’t take responsibility for your own actions.
Sad, sad, sad.
You believe in a God that cannot preserve His word exactly as He wants it? You think someone stole something precious from His word? There are other writings that are mentioned in the Bible that don’t appear in the Bible, that doesn’t mean God EVER meant those ‘other’ writings to be included. Just like you don’t find Isaiah in the Book of Mormon even though it is copied word for word.....
Sad, sad, sad.....
You believe a man with his face in a hat telling make believe stories about the falsity of the Bible?
Sadder, even sadder....

Just because a text is not included in the cannon does not mean it is scripture and should have been.
In plain English, just because there were other documents, religious or otherwise, written at the time, does not mean that they should or were considered part of the Bible.
The LDS use this line of thinking to support the idea of the necessity of the Book of Mormon, but it doesn’t hold.
Paul quoted pagan philosophers, and those were NEVER considered scripture.
And I have NEVER seen CC not take responsibility. We all have other things that we could be doing, but we witness to the LDS and try to get throught to them because we care, we want them to come to a saving faith in Jesus and put their faith in HIM ALONE, not a church to get them back to God.
I, for one, would back off if the LDS would stop claiming to be Christians, but as long as they have the doctrines they do, the teachings they teach, and still claim my Lord and My God to the extent of believing they are the ‘only true church’ then I will fight back.
The LDS are lied to by their own church. Talk about sad, sad, sad.
Gee, it's great that we have those golden plates from upstate New York to fix that little problem, isn't it...
Sigh, sigh, sigh...
It isn't the so called MISSING parts of the bible that are a problem for MORMONs, but the FACT that what WAS known was so totally IGNORED by MORMON leadership!
