The Word of God can be edited.
There have been numerous changes to the text of the Book of Mormon with each new release, even though Joseph Smith said:
“… we heard a voice from out of the bright light above us, saying, ‘These plates have been revealed by the power of God, and they have been translated by the power of God. The translation of them which you have seen is correct, and I command you to bear record of what you now see and hear.’” (History of the Church, by Joseph Smith, Vol. 1, pp. 54-55)

In September 1832, Joseph Smith ‘foretold’ of an LDS temple to be built in Independence, Missouri. The Bible instructs us to test prophecy, and by doing so, determining the authenticity of the prophet. It’s quite simple math.
false prophecy = false prophet.
Because, honestly… why would God send a message to someone who couldn’t get it right? That’s my opinion, but the above is Biblical fact.
So when JS prophesied that this temple would be built and swore it to be prophetic wisdom, JS proved himself a liar when that prophesy never came true. Sorry, that’s how it works.

LikeDislikeTo say that the mormons needed another book is to say that God was wrong when he used the disciples to write the Bible that Christians use today. Its a shame the mormons are blinded by their upbringing.

LikeDislikeGod’s Temple is not made with hands Acts Chapter 17, verse 24 says “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshiopped with men’s hands, as though he needeth anything, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things.” The word Church comes from the greek word “Called Out”, so we who believe in Christ and accept him as Lord and Savior our our lives are part of a body of believers and not a building. We have a direct line with him in prayer and also in I John 2:27, it says “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you; but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him”. All you need to do is to accept Christ as Savior and Lord and learn from the Holy Spirit and follow Christ’s teachings and not Sin and you are a part of Christ who is the head of the body of believers.

LikeDislikesuzanne, the temple portion of steweys comment is besides the point that Mr Smith is a false prophet.
