Mormon Religion: The Holy Bible - Mormon Theology

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Zsvml57PE is a video describing how to learn more about the Mormon Church.

Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church) discusses the importance of the Holy Bible.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) use the Bible and the Book of Mormon as scriptures. The King James Version of the Bible is most commonly used in the Church.

In fact, one of the 13 "Articles of Faith" of the LDS Church says: "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."

By using both the Bible and the Book of Mormon together, Mormons hope to come closer to their Savior, Jesus Christ.

The guy in the video, what's his name? Who is he in the LDS Church?

[lds9999]

His name is Elder M. Russell Ballard. He is an apostle.

[Noffy1111]

@lds9999 To be an apostle you would have had to known Christ as a disciple and then He would have had to pick you as an apostle

[freemandiaz]

we also believe the Book of Mormon as far as it is translated correctly

Which LDS apostle was speaking about the Bible?

[mormontube]

Its so good, to have living apostles and to know, that the bible is true and the word of god. I love the bible and its holy words.

We from the church of Jesus Christ should often remember it, that the bible is also our holy book.

OK... I think.... So, which parts of the Bible are the corrupted ones?

[MrNirom]

The Church does "use" the inspired version.. but does not have it as part of its canon because the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not own the copy rights to publish it. The Reorganized Church does. Emma Smith, the prophets wife, had the entire translated version in her possesion at the time Joseph was killed. He never got it published. She gave it to people who then split off from the Church and they have the copy rights.

But we still use it.. everyday.

blaseincognito,

"Anyway, why doesn't the Utah church use Joseph Smith's "Inspired" Bible? They do reference it on their website."

I am not sure where you get your information from, not from LDS sources therefore it is incorrect. We do use JS translations of the Bible and the preface of it tells how to use it.

What a blessing it is to have the words of the ancient prophets of the eastern hemisphere. The Holy Bible truly is a miracle.
