| padib said: He was right... The way the New Testament supercedes the Old Testament is not the same nature at all as how the LDS or Islam supercedes it. For Christianity, the New Testament fulfills the Old Testament, and only bars out certain laws due to the power of Christ over the Law. In contrast, for instance Islam rewrites stories in the Torah and claims the Judeo-Christian texts were modified as a form of deviation from the true path of God. As for LDS I'm not as informed but I believe it to be very similar in terms of it rewriting scripture. A few verses from the New Testament to show what I mean: |
I don't know if I'd say the way the Qu'Ran or the Book of Mormon supercedes the Bible as the same thing. All faiths are open to change as they have in the last few thousands of years.
The Book of Mormon had new scriptures based on God's presence in the Americas not middle east and add to the Bible like the New Testament did to the Old. It does not replace it. I think this is different from the Qu'ran and it's production but I know less about it so can't comment fully.
Hmm, pie.
