That would be kind of pointless unless you first posted your testimony about the Bible, right?

even the Book of Mormon doesn't mention anyone other than Jesus holding Melchizedek Priesthood. and Hebrews 7 says only Jesus holds this title, so their would be contridict in Bible if you find anyone elso holding that office. :smile:

When given an oppurtunity to bear his testimony of the Bible, Mittens responds with something like this:

So Mittens, does the fact that you refuse to testify of the Divinity of the Bible mean that you reject it as scripture?
Surprise, surprise, there is no divine mandate for the Church to discuss and portray its history accurately.

But why ask for Biblical quotes when you've made it clear that you don't even believe in the Bible? That would be like asking me (a non-believer) to back up my argument about the Trinity with quotes from the Quran.

Your problem, Mittens, is that you're confusing comprehension with acceptance. The fact that I reject the amorality of the Old Testament doesn't mean I don't comprehend it.
