The Savior accused the members of the Sanhedrin of relying on the written word, yet denying the power thereof. The prophesied Savior was standing before them testifying of the fact that He was the promised Messiah, but they denied him. There are those who refuse the truth even when it is clearly before them because they lack the humility to accept the facts that prove that their position on religion is not correct or is at best insufficient. The fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ is available to all those who seek the truth and are willing to humble themselves to accept the truth rather than their own opinion.

Most of the books of the New Testament (the exceptions being the Gospels and the Revelation of John) were put in order not by chronology, but by length.

I have always thought it expedient to point out that the word “bible” comes from the word “bibliotek” (sp?), meaning “library” and that the book of Revelation is, in and of itself, untouched.

Great article. I’ve often thought the evangelicals’ adamant stand against new scripture, and thus Latter-day Saints, stems from an ignorance of biblical history, where the Bible actually came from and how it came to be. Even we LDS don’t spend enough time learning that and we should. Also bear in mind that the Catholic Bible contains books the Protestant bible does not, and they are worth reading.

This is my translation of John 5:39-40: [Ye] search the scriptures; [because] in them ye think ye have eternal life: [however] they are they which testify of me. [But] ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
All of which is to say, searching the scriptures is all well and good, as long as doing so leads us to Christ. But if not, then we are missing the mark.

The KJV was translated in 1611.
Have all the non English Bibles since then been based on this English Translation?
How can we be sure that all the foreign language translations of the Book of Mormon are accurate; as the Reformed Egyptian gold plates are not available—for consultation?
