Bible Question:
I have a close family member who is a leader in the Mormon church. He gave us a lot of material on their beliefs to read. There are a lot of rabbit trails we could disagree about, but I want to get to the heart of what they believe and be able to give biblical examples of the truth. Does anyone have good, sound biblical answers for me? I have been doing a lot of study in this area on my own, but would appreciate any wisdom that I can get. Thanks, Shelley |
Bible Answer: Greetings Shelly! Another way that you can try to persuade them is to get them to try to prove that their "Book of Mormon" or any of their historical claims can truthfully be supported through Archaeology. Not a single one of their claims is supported by Archaeology. The Bible, on the other hand, is supported by such overwhelming and monumental Archaeological evidence that there is no question as to the authenticity of the Bible! Blessings to you, Makarios |
