|subject=Open canon vs. closed canon
 
|summary=It is claimed that the Church is in error because Christianity requires a "closed canon" (no more authoritative revelation) instead of the Church's "open canon" (potential for more binding revelation). The Bible is an important record of God's message to humanity. However, the Bible—or any other written text—cannot be the focus of the Christian's life or faith. Only One deserves that place: God.

|link=Mormonism and the Bible/Completeness
 
|subject=Completeness of the Bible
 
|summary=It is claimed the Bible contains all necessary or essential knowledge to assure salvation. Therefore, things like modern prophets or additional scripture (such as the Book of Mormon) are unnecessary or even blasphemous.

{{SummaryItem
 
|link=Mormonism and the Bible/Lost scripture
 
|subject=Lost scripture mentioned in the Bible
 
|summary=There are several references to lost scripture mentioned in the Bible. What does the Book of Mormon mean when it says that "plain and precious" things have been taken out of the bible? What is this about, and what implications does it have for the doctrine of Biblical inerrancy and sufficiency?

|link=Latter-day Saint scripture/Supposed contradictions
 
|subject=Supposed contradictions
 
|summary=Critics present two or more scriptures from LDS scripture, and insist that the scriptures contradict each other. This article examines the supposed contradictions, presents the scriptures cited in context, and demonstrates that claims of contradiction rest on: 1) a misinterpretation of LDS scripture, 2) comparing two verses which are speaking about different things or 3) reading Protestant meanings into scriptural terminology.

|subject=Contradictions in LDS scripture table
 
|summary=Many conservative Protestant critics have reproduced a table which purports to show how LDS scripture contradicts itself.
 
}}
 
{{SummaryItem2
 
|link=Latter-day Saint scripture/Supposed contradictions/Multiple versus single creators
 
|subject=Multiple versus single creators
 
|summary=It is claimed that LDS scripture is contradictory, since the Book of Mormon and Moses describe "God" as creating, while the Book of Abraham describes "Gods." The scriptures affirm that there is "One God" consisting of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. A great debate in Christian history has been the nature of this oneness.

{{SummaryItem2
 
|link=Latter-day Saint scripture/Supposed contradictions/Remission of sins before or after baptism
 
|subject=Remission of sins before or after baptism
 
|summary=It is claimed that LDS scriptures such as DC 20:37 (first case) and 2 Nephi 31:17, 3 Nephi 12:2, and Moroni 8:11 (second case) are contradictory about the order in which one receives baptism and a remission of sins. Some claim further that "Mormon theologians" have ignored this issue. However, these scriptures are not contradictory, for at least three reasons—any one of which is sufficient to disprove the critics' claim. In this article, we will first list the scriptural texts, and then discuss each of the three reasons for which they are not properly seen as contradictory.
