Christin

Thanks, that makes me feel much better :) Can someone please explain to me why Mormons don't mind the use of the Septuagint? - which has 7 more OT books. The reason I ask is, as a Catholic, I've been ridiculed for years by protestants for not using their bible - even though the Septuagint was the Christian canon everyone used up until the reformation. I find it fascinating (and a relief) that the Mormon church isn't against like other protestants. I appreciate your guidance on this.

Hello, I don't have difficulty with the Book of Mormon. However, I find it very difficult that I might have to use the protestant version of the Old Testament, instead of the earlier orthodox version of the Old Testament - used by Catholics. I searched lds.org and mormon.org and didn't find anything definitive that would "prohibit" me from using the Septuagint. So, that is my question. Do I have to let go of the Septuagint in order to be Mormon? Thanks
