"the bible is the inspired word of god.
"holy spirit came upon men who then wrote the various books that make up the bible.
what was the criteria for determining if a given piece of writing, such as the books matthew, mark, luke, john and acts, or letters, such as the ones written by paul, were inspired?
Have you ever read the apocryphal books? (including the apocryphal books of the OT and from the NT)
I have read the apocryphal gospels, and they a marvel compound of myths and legends of Jesus Christ life? It?s a good reading that you must have? So If you read them you will see that compared with the 4 canonical gospels they are more false than the books of the Mormons.

i find it absolutely amazing how people will spend hours upon hours interpreting one book.
the second most interpreted is probably the beatles' white album.. what else have people interpreted?
Maybe:
"Don Quijote de la mancha" is the second or the third???
Or Am I wrong?

"as to the old testament name of god, certainly the spelling and pronunciation "jehovah" were originally a blunder.
(the bible in living english, 1972, p.7, watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania) .
what's the deal?
Usually, God's name is presented as fundamental in the monotheistic religions, but its pronunciation is controversial (YeHoWaH, Yahve, Jehovah,...). However, the key to unlock this mystery was provided by the famous Maimonides 800 years ago, when he wrote that the Name of God (the tetragram YHWH) "is read as it is written". The paradox starts and ends here with these intriguing words.
Gérard GERTOUX is a Hebrew scholar, specialist of the Tetragram; He has been president of the Association Biblique de Recherche d'Anciens Manuscrits since 1991. His training as an engineer and teacher has enabled him to compile an amount of information coming from a great diversity of specialized departments.

No, I believe that the [hi]story of "Star Wars" it is more truely than the story of the Mormons...
I have read the "Book of Mormon", 'The Pearl' of something book & the 'Doctrines and' something else book... they are a bound of mistic and imagination stories.
Sorry... But that is my opinion, I believe that I can became a "JEDI", but I don't believe that I can became a GOD with my own universe and with many wives, etc...
