I still don't think you have seen my reasoning clearly enough. Above, you have not shown that it is flawed as you think you have. The reasoning I give below: Can you show that the Book of Mormon and its companions will not divert a man from the path that he would walk if he were just to...

It would be, that it seems that in accepting more words as being from God, you have rejected certain words that are established by the Lord; and that the words that you have rejected, in that you have received an added revelation that contradicts them, are the words that would serve as a...

So we should remove the "limitation" of the truth and begin to receive lies...?

The Book that speaks of the narrow path warns of the eternal barbecue that is coming. When you add books, you can lose sight of certain facts that serve as a deterrent against sinning against the Lord.

I don't think you have understood my reasoning in the post that you were responding to, which I repeat below:

post #179 (What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ) was more of a response to what @amadeus said in post #178 (What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ).

In other words, enter in through the broad path.

See Romans 4:2.

See Romans 4:6.

Can you show that the Book of Mormon and its companions does not divert a man from the path that he would walk if he were just to continue on with the Bible? If it would not, then I might consider it to be holy scripture; while I would also consider that the Bible is sufficient and therefore...

Except that the Book of Mormon in its statements ends up teaching false doctrines, such as salvation by works...i.e. "ye are saved by grace, after all that ye can do." opposite to the sound doctrine found in Titus 3:4-7, "not by works of righteousness which we have done..." and elsewhere in holy...

Not on the same level as holy scripture, mind you; but as useful for understanding doctrinal issues.

He speaks through His Holy Spirit what He wants to, by giving us more insight into the meaning of what He has revealed as a completed work to us; which is sufficient. Nothing else is needed. We can receive newer revelations through understanding the Bible as a coded work, i.e. 1 Corinthians...

This is a scripture that is often used to substantiate the gnostic writings. I would point out that gnosticism is refuted by 1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 1:7, Matthew 14:31, and Luke 24:39-43; and 1 John 1:1. Not to mention John 1:14. John 21:25 is therefore not a substantiation of extra-canonical...

That is right. It is not a number of times, because the faith was once delivered to the saints. Jude 1:3.

Actually, John also speaks of two angels, see John 20:12.

2 Corinthians 6:8.

The faith was once delivered to the saints. I believe, in the Holy Bible. I'm sorry, it doesn't fly with me that the faith which was once delivered to the saints was delivered again to Joseph Smith some 1700-1800 years later. The Bible is a complete work, it is the faith which was once...

If the Book of Mormon isn't a different gospel, then why even read it? There isn't any information in it that I wouldn't be able to ascertain simply from reading the Bible. If it is a different gospel, then Galatians 1:6-9, 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 (kjv) apply.
