AboutHannah Expertise I can answer questions concerning standard doctrines, scriptures, curiousities, Mormon culture and society. I will not respond to debates. I'm sorry, but there are some things that I simply will not answer, not because I don't want to, but there are some things that the LDS people do not discuss casually--it's only talked about within the temple. Though I am a member, I do not believe that anyone could convert anyone to a religion over something as impersonal as the internet. So I won't even try to.
Experience I have been a member of the LDS church for 8 years. Though I'm still a young person, I can answer most things about the church.
Question Was the Bible originally written in Greek or Latin? Either way, since no one currently fluently speaks the language in its original form, isn't the Bible not completely accurate. I know it has been translated, but it can only be the translation/interpretation of the meaning, and the the exact words of God as it was meant to be read.
Answer Depending on which book in the Bible, the Bible was originally written in Latin, Greek, Hebrew or Aramaic. You are absolutely correct. This is why the LDS Church states that "We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far as it is translated correctly..." In the LDS church, we have some parts of the Bible that Joseph Smith retranslated called the inspired translation, seeing as Joseph Smith would not be able to translate it correctly either, without inspiration.
