Old Testament

Some Christians accept the Bible as the one true word, completely inspired by God in its entirety. At the opposite extreme, some other Christians consider the Bible as the writings of persons who may or may not have been inspired by God, which writings have little moral authority in our day. The Latter-day Saint belief that the Bible is “the word of God as far as it is translated correctly” (A of F 1:8) places us between these extremes, but this belief is not what makes us unique in Christianity.

     

What makes us different from most other Christians in the way we read and use the Bible and other scriptures is our belief in continuing revelation. For us, the scriptures are not the ultimate source of knowledge, but what precedes the ultimate source. The ultimate knowledge comes by revelation. With Moroni we affirm that he who denieth revelation “knoweth not the gospel of Christ” (Morm. 9:8).

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

In my opinion the Holy Bible especially the Old Testament is the keystone to understand the principles of the Man. It is very important because is a revelation continue from God. The evidence of the born of people of Israel comes from the Old Testament, also we can understand some traditions also rites, maybe some persons couldn't understand the Sabbath Day, the3 importance to God  that the People of Israel fill the earth, since Adam and Eve, after Abel and Cain thought Methuselah, the importance of Moses, Jacob, Joseph, Abraham that were the most important personages. of People of Israel.

Also, we respect the canon and not substitute the scriptures.

the problem is the interpretation sometimes the commentaries it is not a loyal interpretation.
