    **************
    [to Glenn Blaylock]
    Mormons believe God the Father and God the Son are both created beings and are still progressing towards perfection... this definitely depreives God and Christ of their divinity.

    The God of the Bible is and always has been. The Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, from everlasting to everlasting. He is all knowing, he is everywhere and he is all powerful... yet comes to us personally through Christ (The second person of the Trinity).

    ***************

    I have to respectfully disagree with Bob Blaylock...

    In Christian beliefs, the Bible is the infallible Word of God without error and without contradictions. The Bible has stood the test of time. It is the basis for which "...to test all things and hold fast to that which is True". The Bible is divine rather than human in origin. I think Mr. Blaylock's words are as a result of his beliefs (Mormonism) which deprive God and Christ of their divinity.

    If the Word of God is not infallible, then we are lost in determining Truth. Without the Truth, other so called "scriptures" are considered the Word of God even when they are in direct contradiction of the Bible.

    The Bible, in its entirety, is all we need to get to know who He is and to point us to Christ for salvation. What else do we need? It tells us about God's gift to us (Christ) for our Salvation. It tells us that we (believers) are forgiven by God's grace. It tells us how much he loves us. It also tells us that as a result of God's Grace given to us(forgiveness of sins and Slavation), we(believers) are to spread this message and to love and serve others by doing good works.

    The Bible does tell us to test all things. Paul tells us that if we are taught another Gospel message that is different than the one taught in the Bible then we should know it was not from God. How are supposed to know what is from/not from God if we do not have an infallible basis from which to know God's Word?

    Any other non-Biblical books in contradiction with this should not be considered God's Word.


    God, out of his love for us, provided us with His infallible Word.

    • We do not, nor could we, deprive the Father and the Son of their divinity.

    • The Bible does not itself claim to be infallible, inerrant, or complete.  Indeed, it contains evidence to the contrary.

    • Awesome answer, and the Bible does claim to be infallible, else why did Jesus tell us to search the Scriptures? Ps. 12:6
