 | ==Criticism==
  |  | <!-- PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE -->  | 
 |    |  | 
 | Critics present two or more scriptures from LDS scripture, and insist that the scriptures contradict each other.
  |  |

  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | {{SeeAlso|Supposed contradictions in LDS scripture/Contradictions in LDS scripture table|l1=A response, in table form, to fifteen such contradictions commonly used by anti-Mormons.}}
  |  | 
 | The links below examine the supposed contradictions, presents the scriptures cited in context, and demonstrate that claims of contradiction rest on:
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | # a misinterpretation of LDS scripture
  |  | 
 | # comparing two verses which are speaking about different things
  |  | 
 | # reading Protestant meanings into scriptural terminology
