That sounds pretty close to the evangelical doctrine of inerrancy, which in a nutshell is just a fancy way of saying "the Bible is true." See the Chicago Statement of Biblical Inerrancy, Article X. Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy So Mormons and Evangelicals agree that it is true as far as it is correctly translated, but the issue is more than that isn't it? It has more to do with transmission of the text than with translation. If the Mormon view (as far as I understand it at this point) were just that the modern day revelations complete the ancient ones, then yet again evangelicals might agree that such a thing could happen. After all, the NT did fulfill the OT. If this were the case, then we would only be talking about whether the NT left any major loose ends in need of further revelation. I don't think so; the "story arch" seems pretty well wrapped up by Revelation 22 (not that we don't still have plenty of questions, of course). I recall reading that "many plain and precious truths" were removed from the Bible (Nephi? First Vision?). And that is where the issue comes to a head. I think the phrase "translation" is confusing and "transmission" would be more accurate. If truths have been removed, then scripture has not been transmitted, and if that is true then yes, I can see a big need for fresh revelation--a reboot! Would I be right to say then that you do believe the Bible to be the word of God, but not in the same way as evangelicals? How does that play out practically?
