Is that statement wrong in your opinion? Why?


Scripture is the testimony of men who have had actual dealings with God. These mens testimonies support one another, and their experiences are repeatable.

that's not non literal

When you were talking about absolute truths did you mean to imply that you take everything in the Bible and the Book of Mormon as truth directly from God, Gaz?

If it's the testimony of men that dealt with God couldn't they have made some mistakes?

Do you believe everything written down by all men that had actual dealings with God? Does that get a bit confusing when they, at times, contradict each other?

Oh, and Gaz, was the absolute truth question a trick question? I read it as such!

Am I being paranoid.... ;P
