We haven't practiced Polygamy for 100 years dude...

I'm curious what the doctrinal differences there are between the Gospels & the book of Mormon.

My issue with Mormonism (of what I know) is the forced & expected tithing. (Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing).  Also, I do not agree with polygamy. I know it is controversial, but I believe in "husband and wife" "becoming one". (not multiple) Because Jesus himself made and drank wine I do not see how wine can be banned. Other than those things, what is the difference?

The Book of Mormon not only harmonizes with the Bible, part of its function is to testify to the world of The Bible's message. The LDS canon magnify it and restore lost truths to it. As to the NWT, before you give it any credit, compare the JW purple Interlinear of the New testament to a reputable interlinear text. They did more than insert Jehovah... And neither the society or the translator claimed revelation from GOD was involved in it. Joseph Smith Did. "Well There's Your Problem" :)

anyone who hears Gordon B. Hinckley speak knows that he was a purely good man and had such a sweet and powerful spirit, he is such an inspiration...anyone who hears him speak and can't admit that is prideful and filled with the wrong spirit. no matter what you believe in, seeing Hinckley speak, you know he was a humble and great man.

i love and miss President Hinckley. lds9999 i like what you said about trusting the bibble book of mormon and above all that you trust god. i love that and i agree with you!!!!

So who then is to give the correct interpretation of the Bible? You? Me? A pastor or priest? The fact remains that there is tremendous confusion in Christianity because of it. The Bible's message is interpreted differently by all the Christian sects.

Thus the need for authority, Thus the need for a prophet to end the confusion under the direction of the Lord. Because He (the Lord) surely knew how His word is to be interpreted!

lds, there are different sects of Christianity simply because of people like Joseph Smith. Dont you see. They Interpret scripture to what they want it to say. Except lds actually add things. Just as catholics dont listen to the bibles message. They pray to saints instead of god, looks to idols (mary, saints) they pray to the rosary. it goes on an on. But the bibles message has always stayed the same.

[lds9999]

In the different translations I've seen, there are often more than "marginal differences."

"The bibles message always stays the same." Well, it depends on who you ask, right? If it weren't so, there wouldn't be thousands of different Christian sects. All believe the message is a little bit different than others.

If a prophet of God can clarify passages to take away some of that confusion, amen to that.

[Broccoli4151]

I wont touch on that last comment because thats a whole different discussion. Yes there are marginal differences between some translations. Such as having Yehweh name removed for lord. And i actually respect the NWT for putting the name back in. I would strongly recommend using the NWT! but thats a whole lot different from adding to scripture as Joseph Smith does with Matthew. And saying that Song of Solomon is not Relevant. The bibles message always stays the same.
