I may be wrong, but I thought Christ was the main point of the Bible?
What's the issue with Mormons focusing on Christ?

Nothing actually... notice i said "mormons have their S**t together more so then most Christians do"
Christians tend to focus on the entire bible... Mormons don't, though they also accept the entire bible as well...
Sadly that also means they accept all of pauls letters as well... one of the pitfalls of christianity
I disagree here. If Mormon's accepted the Bible...they would have no need for another 'nother testament.
Even Paul's letters were inspired...but you have are entitled to not believe, of course!
The Word of God shall not pass away...not til every jot and tittle be fulfilled.....but it sure does seem to be getting attacked from all sides. God of course wins!

u dont get it its supposed to be christ in the americas teaching the word of the bible to people (natives) who had never read the bible thats why some things are so similar
heres a link to the articles of faith www.mormonwiki.com...edit on 24-2-2012 by TheGuyFawkes because: (no reason given)
Joh 13:18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
There are many more of these written in the Gospels.
Jesus' quote was referring to the other Scriptures, wasn't it? Wouldn't this be evidence that these weren't the only words that were inspired?
Of course, the Words of Jesus are more special. But you disbelieve Paul when he says (2Ti 3:16 ) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
I just ask that you consider and think this through a little further. Am not really asking the question truly, just asking you to consider the thought.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 tells us that all Scripture is "profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
I only say these things in love......for you miss out on many a blessing! for Scripture interprets Scripture

Well, it didn't hurt me to try, did it? Appreciate your polite honesty.
Have enjoyed talking with and only wish for you all good things and I so hope that you can sense this through my writings...regardless of their worth to you.
Take care..
Appreciate all of you and to those of you in the know that answered my question.
I understand that this practice is to be a symbolic reminder to their commitments, and that Mormon's don't really think that these things actually protect them. if I am understanding this correctly..
Appreciate you all.

I believe in the Holy Bible and not some NEW Mormon testament
