How does this logically make sense, when the entire New Testament was written AFTER the death of Christ on the cross? Did the New Testament writings, or the many non-Biblical revelations attested to by the New Testament, in any way undermine the significance of Christ's death on the cross? I don't think so.

I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.

For example, these Scriptures claim many who have followed the Bible in its present form have been brought under the power of Satan because of its missing "plain and precious parts." They also add that without baptism, a person cannot be saved. There are many dangerous teachings in the LDS Scriptures. I agree with your assessment that the Mormon added Scriptures are false, but not with your idea that revelation is contrary to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We have now received the living Word which is complementary to the written Word. Peace be with you.
