If there were things taken out of the Gospel, they were good things, not bad things. So how could these good things of God cause people to stumble? Your reasoning is not logical.

Is it or is it not the alledged altered Bible that brings people under Satan's power, according to the Book of Mormon? The problem IS the Bible in its alledged ALTERED state. You are right about the problem not being with the things left in the Bible, but it is the Bible in its present form with the alledged missing parts that IS the problem. You are not being honest to suggest otherwise. DaveH wrote: > Let me give you an example, Glenn. There are > some churches that teach that children should be > baptized.

But what has really happened is that people who believe the book of Mormon stumble on the doctrine of baptism. Mormons do not understand baptism or why it is needed in God's kingdom. The things added in the Book of Mormon have caused people to stumble and come under the power of Satan.

The earliest Christians had doctrinal disputations, just as the Jews before the Christians had them. I would say that if there is evidence in a religious sect of the end of doctrinal disputations then that group is outside God's will. Peace be with you.
