I know for sure that they were written down by Paul. Both Paul and Peter were apostles who ate formerly forbidden foods with the Gentiles. There were also others that were not apostles that were former Jews under the Law.

As has been stated several rimes, this was not new, it was planned to be a new covenant. from the beginning.
(Jer 31:31) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
The Levitical system was always temporary, it pointed to Jesus as the Lamb, and He became the High Priest for us. It was not a revocation but a fulfillment.

I'm guessing by "this light" you mean, why don't I agree with you in thinking that JS is a false prophet? (Making sure I got your question right)

Yes that's where I was politely trying to go with that.
I could see maybe one small contridiciton to the Bible but so many. And big things, not just little stuff. It seems overwhelming to me that there are so many differences to believe that it is a further revelation from the same God. And the Bible is thorough. It's not like there are all these questions unanswered there or something. It is all in there.

This could answer could be quite long, but I'll go with the short and very honest answer here: upon thorough examination of the Bible, the world, logic, and prayer with God, I find Mormon teachings to be correct. I find very serious flaws with many teachings from other Christian branches, ultimately have come to assessment that they are false. That's not to say that all their beliefs are complete junk (FAR from it), or members of other faith's can't be good people doing their best to serve God, or that some of their followers won't ultimately won't end up in His kingdom. But ultimately, I find their beliefs to be false.
(Of course I respect other people have different thoughts on the matter. These are just my deeply studied beliefs).

Micah got it right.
I have been to both; they are not the same.
Jerusalem is not a land, it is a walled city. The city of David.

I used to live in Colorado, ~200 miles from Denver. When I talking to my online friends in Australia, I was from "Denver". They had never heard of my city, and only sort of Colorado, but knew "Denver".
Image now talking to people 2000 years ago and describing a location across the globe. Do you think they're going to know Middle Eastern geography enough to differentiate between two cities <5 miles apart?? No, you go with the larger big city for your location: the land of Jerusalem (in this case).

Apparently not--He didn't know where the bible said the garden of Eden had been either---Minnesota is a far cry from the Middle east. But, hay, Moses heard wrong, I guess, in spite of describing the land all around it. A massive flood still did not alter the land enough to blot out all the landmarks stated. But, then, the bible is corrupted and JS has it right---God just didn't want Moses to know the truth----Minnesota it must be.

This tells me that you're not as familiar with the subject matter as you would like people to believe.

I live in Texas.
Most Americans I speak with don't know where my town is.
I'm lucky if they recognize "on the western edge of Ft. Hood", but more often than not I have to say "we're about two hours northwest of Austin" or "we're about four hours southwest of the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex."
