The Catholics argue that the Mormon use of the āCatholicā Bible is inconsistent with their belief in the apostasy of the early Christian Church. By the same token, the Jews could argue that the Catholic use of the āJewishā Bible is inconsistent with their belief in the apostasy of the Jewish religion.
Jesus was Jewish right? The Jewish people who are devout Jews are are big brothers and sisters. At Mass we read from both the Old and the New, changing nothing. It fits together perfectly as it should when you look at truth as not changing. . Not only does the Mormon Church add to the Scriptures it also goes back and changes them, their meaning to fit as they desire it to fit for themselves.
Completey different.

If an angel comes and preaches another gospel to you, letā¦ā¦ā¦we all know that right?
Taking scriptures out of the Bible like baptism for the dead and turning it into something completely contrary to what it is speaking about (Paul) and forming a whole different religion around it is sinful, it is evil because it tries to keep souls away from the truth, truth that saves souls. It makes people believe that they are saving souls by their good own works., that without them as a group of believers it would not be possible. it distorts the very Priesthood that Christ established, it runs on pride and it runs on ego pure and simple. Its all about the fall, āourā fallen nature.
When you have to take portions of scripture out of the Holy Bible and take these portions of scripture to another book that was written by a man to interpret it, this to is sinful and evil as it keeps souls away from the One True Christian God.
Taking the Holy Trinity, changing its meaning, making it into different separate gods takes people away from the One true God making them believe that it is through their own strength that they can achieve a certain level of success. Rather than surrendering their lives over to the real One True God which is life itself. It is through complete surrender of self, that by the āgraceā of God we go. The key is found in this beautiful Catholic prayer to Jesus: Yes we can pray directly to Himā¦He is also God, One in being with the Fatherā¦
Dear Zerinus,
Print this prayer off, read it in a quiet place, try to understand its core valueā¦ Even though you were not baptised with the right formula you can still hear it all around you, calling you into the truth of Trinity. Into the truth that is Jesus himself, into the Love that is Jesus Himself.
O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,
deliver me, O Jesus.
From the desire of being loved,
From the desire of being extolled,
From the desire of being honored,
From the desire of being praised,
From the desire of being preferred to others,
From the desire of being consulted,
From the desire of being approved,
From the fear of being humiliated,
deliver me, O Jesus.
From the fear of being despised,
From the fear of suffering rebukes,
From the fear of being calumniated,
From the fear of being forgotten,
From the fear of being ridiculed,
From the fear of being wronged,
From the fear of being suspected,
That others may be loved more than I,
O Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
That others may be esteemed more than I,
That, in the opinion of the world, others may, increase and I may decrease,
That others may be chosen and I set aside,
That others may be praised and I unnoticed,
That others may be preferred to me in everything,
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should,
O Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
I think that the mormon response in the link tells just what the lds church thinks about the bible.
