According to apostle Paul the Bible or the holy scriptures is enough unto salvation - Jose Rodelio Retome Rata



Now here we go again on Jose Rodelio Retome Rata's personal ideology of taking out of context. Let's check out some of his personal studies and see if we can find something new. By the way, this is the same argument that has been debunked over and over, and Jose Rodelio Retome Rata still thinks that this is unanswered. Check out some of it in the links below -

The Book of Mormon
As part of the Restoration of the gospel, God brought forth the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. By the power of God, Joseph Smith translated this book from an ancient record written on gold plates. The Book of Mormon is “a record of God’s dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and contains the fulness of the everlasting gospel” (introduction to the Book of Mormon).
The Book of Mormon is a powerful witness of Jesus Christ. It helps us understand His teachings, including those in the Bible.
The Book of Mormon is convincing evidence of the Restoration of the gospel through Joseph Smith. You can know for yourself that the Book of Mormon is true. To gain this knowledge, you must read it, ponder its message, and desire to know if it is true. You must ask Heavenly Father to confirm that it is His word. As you do so, He will reveal to you through the Holy Ghost that it is true.
As you come to know that the Book of Mormon is true, you will also come to know by the Holy Ghost that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, that the gospel of Jesus Christ was restored through him, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is led by a prophet and apostles today.

Actually, this is just another copy-paste of his program from https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/the-restoration/the-book-of-mormon. I don't know why Jose Rodelio Retome Rata loves copy-pasting a text that doen't even part of his criticisms. He thinks it might be worth but it seems boring to me.

According to this teaching of LDS church, the Book of Mormon is the restoration of the gospel through Joseph Smith.
A witness of Jesus Christ.
Let me see if this is true.
Let consult the Bible if there is a missing piece.

Okay, go ahead. Let's see if you know the context of your Bible.

2 Timothy 3:15-17 - King James Version
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
According to apostle Paul the Bible or the holy scriptures is enough unto salvation through faith which is in Christ.

Wrong! Again, a thousand times. Paul is not quoting the entire Bible to Timothy. Paul is encouraging Timothy to continue reading, as it might lead him to understand salvation in Christ. The Scripture Paul refers to is none other than the Tanakh that comprises Torah, Nevi'im, and Ketuvim. These are the primary scriptures during Paul's and the apostles' time. There is no such thing as the Bible at that time yet, which composes of Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament. You simply don't know the History and Context of the Scripture. This simply shows you don't study the scripture well and take it too lightly. And again, this was already debunked a couple of times already -
The Bible is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
The Bible can make the man of God to be perfect, thoroughly furnished or equipped unto all good works.
So, the Bible is absolutely complete no need of their said restored gospel because all the man need for salvation is all written in the Bible.
The man of God thoroughly furnished or equipped of all good works. The good works are the commandments of God.

Where in the world does it say it's the Generic Bible of our times? And where in the world does it say it is complete? Tell me, where in the world did you get that idea, Jose Rodelio Retome Rata?

Romans 7:12 - King James Version
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Therefore, the book of Mormon is not the restored gospel but rather a twisted gospel.

How did you come to a conclusion using Roman 7:12 that simply says about Paul's understanding of the law and why it was to be implemented, this has nothing to do with the other scripture aside from the bible. The law refers to the simple saying about the moral standards as if it would help us avoid or understand the consequences of sin (read verses 7-12). This has nothing to do with the holy scripture in General. So, this doesn't make any sense.

Galatians 1:6-9 - King James Version
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

And here we go again on this example that youd been slapped on your face over and over. The context of Galatians was all about the traditions of the Judaisers that they wanted the Gentile converts to abide by the traditions of the Jews, so they tried to mix up the Jewish Traditions or Laws with the teachings of the Gospel, in which Paul says it is supposed to be done away with after Christ ended the Law. Haven't you read the same article that slap you face regarding this issue? here let me help you -
So again, you fail everyone in your study of scriptures and some historical background of Paul's epistle to Timothy, to Romans, and to the Galatians. But it's okay as long as you have learned a new thing right, Jose Rodelio Retome Rata?
