Where in the Bible are we told that it is the only source of God's word?.
1 Corinthians 4:9
For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men
There isn't suppose to be anybody following the apostles. The books that they wrote was suppose to reach all over the world and it did. christ has an unchangeable priesthood the book of hebrews stated. that is why paul said:
1 Corinthians 4:6
And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another
You haven't read the Book of Mormon. How do you know what it teaches? The gospel according to Matthew is not identical to the gospel according to Mark, Luke or John. They have much in common but each one mentions things the other doesn't. Do you see them as contradicting each other? The book of Job is not about the same people as the book of Exodus. Does that make one of them true and the other one false?
I will agree that there could be similarities. But isn't true that the fundamentalist CLDS was once one and the same with the mormon church, and Joseph Smith the founder had several wives and the CLDS original doctrine condoned to polygamy?
That Violated 1 tim 3:2.
I agree. Would you mind explaining what you believe the word "contradict" to mean?
Would you mind giving us some examples?
contradicting = like black and white, concepts of opposite meaning.
Examples will include;
Catholics: you can eat whatever you want
Adventist: you cant eat pork
Even without the bible these two denominations cannot possibly and sensibly follow the same Christ.
what does the bible truelly states?
Matthew 24:24
"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
Again, i maintain my stance, no one is condemned.
