Articles of Faith Series: The Eighth Article

The eighth Article of Faith reads: We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. One of the biggest concerns some people have about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the fact that we have “another” Bible. They feel that we don’t believe in the Bible and that we are trying to usurp the Bible with our own book of scripture. As the eighth Article of Faith states, we do believe in the Bible.

Although I did memorize each Article of Faith when I was a child, I feel that I failed to grasp the entire meaning of these powerful statements.
