What I had agreed with in the past was a technicality, that the specific language of how the Bible was a "tool of Satan" was my language and not Blaine's language. Nevertheless, I consider my words an accurate summary of what Blaine wrote. Blaine quoted 1 Nephi 13 to argue how the Bible had lost many "plain and precious parts" and had thereby led many people into error. A reading of 1 Nephi 13:29 in the light of Blaine's comments revealed how it was that Mormon theology teaches that the Bible is a tool of Satan in that its alledged missing of many "plain and precious parts" brings people under the power of Satan. To my knowledge, neither Blaine nor Dave Hansen have repudiated my summary of these passages. I have expressed my viewpoint that this is blasphemy, to claim that the Bible brings an "exceedingly great many" under the "great power" of Satan. Blaine and Dave Hansen still have not answered this point. Is the Bible a tool of God to bring people out of the darkness of this world and into the light of God's kingdom, or as the Book of Mormon teaches, is the Bible a tool of Satan that brings an "exceedingly great many" under the "great power" of Satan? I believe that Bible is God's Word which delivers men from Satan's power. I think Blaine should clarify again what he believes if he does not believe that the Bible is a tool of Satan. Thus far, he has retreated from the discussion on this point, and it does appear that Glenn is right in saying that "Blaine let the cat out of the bag." Peace be with you.
