What do Mormons believe about the Bible? Don’t the Mormons have their own book they call a Bible but it’s not the same Bible other Christians use?
Ugh, if you’ve ever tried to tell a Mormon they don’t believe in the Bible, you know how frustrating it can be. The main problem, of course, is that they think they believe it! Getting past this can be a real challenge. You tell them they don’t believe it, they say they do, you tell … Read more
As asked in the “Ask Me Questions” portion of this website: Q: How do Mormons explain Isaiah 44:6? This verse says that God does not even know of another god. Now if Mormons believe that God the Father is married to multiple mother goddesses, who He would clearly know of if He was, then how … Read more
Disclaimer: If you think I’m saying the Bible is false, you’re wrong. That’s not at all what I’m saying. Read on.

Now that I’ve had this website up and running for a year or so, I’ve begun to notice a pattern with many of those posting comments to quote the Bible in an effort to convince me and other Mormons of the error of our ways. Sometimes a specific scripture is cited because it pertains to … Read more
For those of you who aren’t sure what the question is referring to, here’s the expanded version: Q: Mormons believe that God used to be a man, like us, and that we can become gods, like God. But this doesn’t seem to make sense if you read the creation story in Genesis 1:1-19. In the … Read more

There is a certain group of Christians that believe in “biblical inerrancy” or the idea that the Bible is 100% perfect. Mormons believe the Bible is true “inasmuch as it is translated correctly.” That is, Mormons believe the Bible was perfect as it was written by the pens of the original authors, but that through … Read more
If you believe in the Bible, answer me this–where are the prophets and apostles? From Adam down to Jesus Christ there were prophets. It’s how we got the Old Testament.

A friend of mine on Facebook put out the question: What is your interpretation of Hebrews 6:4? Here is Hebrews 6:4-6 4 For it is impossible for those who were once aenlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have atasted the good word of … Read more
From Mormon Objections Answered: Why do you never hear a Mormon say, “Pray about the Bible to see if it is true.”? This has always puzzled me. God’s Word does not need verification.
