It is my understanding that Mormons believe the Bible is altered and incorrect, why?

Why is the old testament filled with it. I am talking about the "good guys in the bible", they all had concubines many of them harems. So....?

I have been asking a lot of questions about the Bible lately. Truly I am confused. I am coming to believe what Joesph Smith said was true that Bible is manipulated and tampered with. It would have been right if correctly translated. That is why there was a need for restoration.

Please post your views. I need to settle my mind.

How about in a negative way?

I've read many heart felt replies to similar questions stating that the bible is proof for itself i.e. that it prophecies and fulfills those prophecies. For now, I'll reserve judgement on that as it's a circular agrument.

But as the question states, why is there no evidence for a global flood, why the creation story is at odds to evolution, why Egypt has no record of th Hebrew people ever being there, and why the temple curtain was not recorded as being destroyed until 70 CE as opposed to around 30ish CE during the crucifixtion.

The point is, even though we need to take God's existence on faith, natural events leave evidence. Why, when we know so much have we not found a single peices of supporting evidence and massive amount of evidence against?

What kind of rational god preform a miracle of hiding evidence?

(ok, several questions, but the right answer should take care of them....)

Please give at least one reason. Spare the usual idiom responses by those who really have nothing to say.

Does it make sense that innocent babies and children are sinful, whereas the Bible insists that children are not to suffer for their parent's sins according to these verses:DT 24:16, 2KI 14:6, 2CH 25:4, EZ 18:20

But the New Testament insists that death is passed to all men by the sin of Adam. RO 5:12, 19, 1CO 15:22.

Which make sense to you??

'Born Again' Christians usually presents themselves as 'non-denominational church', an easy way to attract different Christian religious groups to their sects. All Christians are welcome in their gatherings; but after some prayers and teachings, the pastor slowly start to inject protestant doctrines to all those who are listening to him. If you are a Catholic, he will open the Bible and start to criticize 'statue making' and 'Mother Mary'. This group believes and propagates the 'Bible alone theory' of Martin Luther. It has thousands of divisions with contrary views and different names as their members follow miracle workers and preachers of their choice.

The name 'Born Again' comes from an unauthentic translation of the Bible: Jesus said to Nicodemus: "Truly, truly I say to you, unless one is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God, unless he is born of water and Spirit. (Jn: 3-5)
Here is the original Greek manuscript of this Gospel, John never uses the word 'born again'.

...in light of previous verses and the verses following? It seems to say that God does evil.

Explain please; I am not an atheist. E-mail me if the explanation is too long, please.

I was raised as a christian, but now I'm not so sure. I find it difficult to believe in god and think I'm becoming an atheist, but at the same time I'm uncomfortable with that. Everyone is so sure of their belief or non-belief and I am not. What should I do? Please dont say, "just pray".

Anybody else see the problem with that?

He did none of those things.

BUT I know....you will justify your pagan holidays until your last breath.

Because your heart is in the right place, right?

Why don't you try to do as He did for one year?
Just for fun......

Kevin T sells hope about "what they don't want you to know" for a buck, you have to believe and even buy into it, but no guarantees.

Look, give the guy credit, he has created the perfect scam:

1. Offer something everyone wants.
2. Make it IMPOSSIBLE to follow the plan.
3. When the victim, er, customer fails, blame him/her.

seems a lot like the scam artist Paul

What spirit is this? That quotes Paul's teachings to justify why the entire OT is outta date? How do you define sin then?

Not to mention, Dead sea scrolls prove the "works of the law" teaching is the MOST incorrectly translated text of them all.
http://www.mashiyach.com/scrolls.htm

So...what spirit is behind this? I say its laziness. That calls anything that requires some effort "legalism".

But we say "I want to be more like JESUS!"

He kept a Saturday sabbath.....the feasts of Leviticus and not Easter, Sundays and Christmas.

So...what spirit causes this? I believe most Christians are subject to really bad teaching. And accept man's word and justifications to slack over the Word of G-d. Any thoughts??

thanks.

A lot of answerers tend to add imaginary content to the questions, so that they can answer the part of the question the questioner never asked, once they give up on answering what was actually asked. Is this part of what religion teaches? If a question is asked about the best brand of dog collar, deciding to give an opinion about the best breed of dog, since you can't give a good answer about the collar makes no sense at all. Are you confused too?
