God didn't lie in the Torah nor the Tanakh. YOUR rebuttal fails miserablely.
Actually, Jews could discount Christianity for your reasons since the NT adds onto their book just like the Book of Moron adds onto the OT and NT. What if Christianity is the cult and Judaism is the one true religion?
And there are plenty of Eastern religions that aren't connected to the Abrahamic tradition. They have their own holy writings and founders.
I am sure you meant the Book of Mormon not Moron. Anyways, I have a little time this morning so I thought I would try to stay caught up.
The book of mormon DOES NOT add on to the OT & NT. it has nothing to do with either book and is not a continuation of either. It is a highly plagerized work which cannot be verified as it has no mss. history.
Not being connected or having their own religious writings doesn't make them correct. As Paul said, 'if any man or ANGEL brings a different gospel than the one Jesus and the Apostles brought...'
all false religions from Islam down to Buddhism to Mormonism bring a different gospel than Jesus and the Apostles and gives us a clear picture of how to tell the difference between the two (true and false beliefs).
Quote:show me that the creation story was meant to be taken symbolically but not also literally
I am not going ot butt in on this conversation but I wanted to point out just 1 thing.
The creation account was meant to be taken literally ONLY. There are lesons in there that would be lost if it were allowed to be taken symbolically.
