[QUOTE="TruthTroll, post: 71619943, member: 400955"] Wait. Don't Mormons use the same King James Bible that the majority of Christianity uses? What is it with the "our bible"? It is theirs as well, right? So if they were mocking "your" bible, they were mocking their own as well. But as an impartial observer, I hardly find the Mormon stance on the bible to be one of mockery. Quote from lds.org. "We believe the bible to be the word of God so far as it is translated correctly;" I guess the rub for anti-mormons is the "translated correctly" bit? Considering the myriad of academically proven discrepancies, mistranslations and questionable origins of the thousands of "bible" manuscripts cherry picked, sorted, discarded and altered during the political drama that was the canonization of the bible, I find the Mormon stance to at least be the more intellectually honest, albeit equally irrational. In the simplest sense, I see one belief statement that reveres the bible, but acknowledges the human errors that have accumulated over the centuries, versus another that says the bible is perfect, fool proof and unquestionably accurate, despite many different revisions, translations and adaptations absolutely demonstrating otherwise. I find a bit of disingenuity in the latter's apoplectic response to the first's audacity to declare the tiniest of limits to blind adherence. [/QUOTE]
