8th Article Of Faith

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.

Having been asked about the scriptures, I would like to share a few reasons why the Book of Mormon is my number 1 go-to scripture.

Since the Bible has been translated so many times by both religious and civic leaders, to fit their agendas, it is difficult to accept anything there at face value. Not to mention, it is well recorded that the bible has been assembled by men. Councils have decided what books to add to the bible, what books to leave out, what doctrines to promote, and what doctrines to avoid. Books have been re-written to support their changing beliefs. Why would anyone suppose a collection of books like that will give the correct word of God, unless they mean the god of this world?

So, do I believe the bible? Yes, the few parts which have been translated correctly, but the Book of Mormon is the word of God!
