Because parts of the "so-called" bible are wrong and or false. For a critical read, try "The Fifth Gospel" by the Jesus Seminar.

Which parts; exactly?

MormonISM makes a teaser statement like that; but never has followed thru with any evidence.


 

 
THE ARTICLES OF FAITH
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535—541
 
 


8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.

 

Joseph Smith

We all believe in the same God and same Son of God.

UMMmmm...

...not exactly.

The LDS 'father' has a body of flesh.

Weird how people freak out when you guess their name from a key tag that they have out with their name on it.

Indeed!

Count their kids and say; "You have X numbers of kids, and sometimes your husband doesn't treat you right."

They'll think you're Dr. Phil!

People like the Bible. They just don’t like those that claim they, and only they, understand the Bible and everyone else isn’t a Christian and is going to Hell.

"Which parts, exactly?"

The Preface and the Introduction - about 40 pages - will give you an idea of their concept. The rest of the book concerns the translations. Hopes this helps.

Our pastor had a great sermon this morning.

Jesus is not your buddy. He is not your boyfriend. He is your God.

That isn’t what people want to hear.

The most chilling thing I ever heard was among a group of black & hispanic young people at a local church listening to RAP christian music.

The "music lyics" went on to say "Hey Jesus is my home boy, etc etc..." and for a moment I just stood there in shock at what I just heard!! Jesus aint NOBODY's home boy. Then I just breathed a sigh and walked on as apparently these young people has NOT been taught to respect the Almighty. God can forgive the ignorant and unlearned.

Jesus is my friend. HIS words, not mine. John 15:15.

Jesus is my fiance’ and bridegroom. I am the Bride. Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 11:2 and Ephsians 5.

And yes, He is my God, too.

John 1
The Eternal Word
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
