Mormons believe that the Bible was written by ancient prophets—inspired men who spoke with God and learned his will. They believe that in their original form these writings were perfect. Joseph Smith said, “I believe the Bible as it read when it came from the pen of the original writers, [but] ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 327, Eighth Article of Faith). Considering that the separate individual writings of the prophets were gathered, translated many times from language to language, edited, interpreted and “corrected,” it would require closing one's eyes to not see that changes to the original, as well as omissions, were made.

Mormons believe that the Bible was written by ancient prophets—inspired men who spoke with God and learned his will. They believe that in their original form these writings were perfect. Joseph Smith said, “I believe the Bible as it read when it came from the pen of the original writers, [but] ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 327, Eighth Article of Faith). Considering that the separate individual writings of the prophets were gathered, translated many times from language to language, edited, interpreted and “corrected,” it would require closing one's eyes to not see that changes to the original, as well as omissions, were made. The books were not compiled in the Bible in chronological order (Revelation, for instance, was not the last book written but is presented as the last book in the Bible) and references to books and other revelations not in the Bible are frequent, so it's easy to see that books were either left out or lost and the Bible is incomplete. For instance, one of the prophets of the Mormon Church, James E. Talmage, points out that the original prophecy to which Matthew 2:23 refers is missing. Matthew records: “and he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, he shall be called a Nazarene. . . .Those who oppose the doctrine of continual revelation between God and His Church, on the grounds that the Bible is complete as a collection of sacred scriptures, and that revelation not found therein must therefore be spurious, may profitably take note of the many books not included in the Bible, yet mentioned therein, generally in such a way as to leave no doubt that they were once regarded as authentic.” (Jesus the Christ, p. 120). Talmage then lists no fewer than 18 books referred to in the Bible that are missing. Welcome to Bible Study, a Bible study wiki. In this wiki we discuss various aspects of the Bible.
