Oh, we are? Do you assume that about the Book of Mormon? The Qur'an? The
Bhagavad-gita of the Hindus? The Avesta of the Zoroastrians? If not, why
not?
Do you assume that king Mesha's inscription on the Moabite Stone "is more or
less the truth"? If not, why not?
Theo:
The Book of Mormon has negligible evidence for it because the "eye witnesses"
later took back their testimony. The Qur'an commands people to believe in
the Bible: "You to whom the Scriptures were given! Believe in that which We
have revealed, confirming your won scriptures."-Sura 4:47, Dawood. Since the
Bible contradicts the Qur'an (compare John 3:16 and Sura 9:30, etc.), we know
that the Qur'an is not the word of God. I have not studied those other
documents, but I would perhaps like to some day. Since, however, there is
sufficient evidence for the Bible to prove it to be the Word of God, I can
say that those documents are inaccurate when they contradict the Bible
