“My brothers and sisters, the Holy Bible is a miracle! It is a miracle that the Bible’s 4,000 years of sacred and secular history were recorded and preserved by the prophets, apostles, and inspired churchmen.... “It is not by chance or coincidence that we have the Bible today.” M. Russell Ballard “The Miracle of the Holy Bible,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2007, 80

“We love the Bible and other scriptures.... [We believe] in the Bible as the revealed word of God.” M. Russell Ballard “The Miracle of the Holy Bible,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2007, 80

“Joseph Smith taught that ‘many important points touching the salvation of men, had been taken from the Bible, or lost before it was compiled.’ He also said that the Bible was correct as ‘it came from the pen of the original writers,’ but that ‘ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors.’ (History of the Church, 1:245; 6:57.)” Joseph Smith Jr. Bible Dictionary, “Bible”

“Without the Bible, we would not know of His Church then, nor would we have the fulness of His gospel now.... “... Do not discount or devalue the Holy Bible. It is the sacred, holy record of the Lord’s life... [and] the bedrock of all Christianity.” M. Russell Ballard “The Miracle of the Holy Bible,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2007, 81, 82

“It is a miracle that the Bible literally contains within its pages the converting, healing Spirit of Christ, which has turned men’s hearts for centuries, leading them to pray, to choose right paths, and to search to find their Savior.” M. Russell Ballard “The Miracle of the Holy Bible,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2007, 80
