Are Christians, like this, breaking the first commandment?
Is the bible an ideal that Christians worship?
The Bible is not just a book. The Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God , and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
The Word of God lives and abides forever.
There is no other revelation from God.
The book of Mormon is not of God. The Qu'ran is not of God. The Hadith is not of God.The Guru Granth Sahib is not of God. The Analects is not of God. The Bhagavad Gita is not of God. The Tao-te-ching is not of God. The Upanishads is not of God. The Veda is not of God. The Zend-Avesta is not of God. The Pahlavi Texts are not of God. The Doctrine and Covenants is not of God. All of these works are like additions to the Word of God, but they are not the Word of God. God will add to those who teach from these texts the plagues that are written in the Bible. If anyone takes away from the words of God's Book, God shall take away from him/her their part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in the Bible.
