Question: Are Mormon scriptures full of contradictions?
Many conservative Protestant critics have reproduced a table which purports to show how LDS scripture contradicts itself.
This table examines the supposed contradictions, presents the scriptures cited in context, and demonstrates that claims on contradiction rest on:
- a misinterpretation of LDS scripture
- comparing two verses which are speaking about different things
- reading Protestant meanings into scriptural terminology
