The Bible is the Inspired Word of God
The Bible is the inspired Word of God (2Tim. 3:16; 2Peter 1:20). God used at least 40 different people, over a period of around 1600 years from Genesis to Revelation, from different backgrounds, different places and different times, to write down His Words. The Bible from the book of Genesis to the last book, the book of Revelation, unifies in its message. The word in the Greek is "Theopneustos" in 2Tim. 3:16, and means divinely breathed (God breathed). The Bible is literally the breath of God.
Because the Bible is God breathed (the Word of God), we can be sure the Bible is truth. God is truth (John 4:16 & Deu. 32:4), and God cannot lie (Numbers 23:19)~ and because God is truth, God can never inspire error, but He can only inspire truth. This means the Bible is inerrant and infallible. The Bible contains no errors, and the Bible can not deceive you nor lead you into error. The Bible can only lead you into His truth because God's Word is truth (John 17:17). The Bible is the only Book of its kind.

God is Omnipotent and Omniscient!
God prophecied about the crucifixion a 1000 years before Christ came, and before crucifixion was ever used. In the book of Psalms 22:16kjv, the Bible says, "For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. The Lord said, "they have pierced my hands and my feet", which clearly speaks of the crucifixion of Christ.
The Lord Jesus said to His disciple after His resurrection, "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have (Luke 24:39kjv)
When we continue in Psalm 22, v.18, the Bible says, "They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture."
In John 19:23-24, the Bible says, "Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did (John 19:23-24kjv) ~ This is clearly a fulfillment of the prophecy in Psalm 22:18.
It is very clear that Psalm 22:16, "They pierced my hands and my feet", refers to the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ, and Psalm 22:18, "They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture", refers to Christ also. They go together. These prophecies have been fulfiiled in the Lord Jesus (who is the Christ).
Only the true God (the God of the Bible) can give a prophecy a thousand years before (and before crucifixion was ever used), and then fulfill this prophecy perfectly.
The Lord Jesus said to His disciple after His resurrection, "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have (Luke 24:39kjv)
When we continue in Psalm 22, v.18, the Bible says, "They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture."
In John 19:23-24, the Bible says, "Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

More Apologetics! The Mormons
Their prophet Joseph Smith said he saw the person of The Father and Jesus. Let us test that with what Paul the apostle and even with what our Precious Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ said.
The Bible says in 1Timothy 6:16kjv, Who only hath immortality,dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. Paul says that no man can approach the inexpressible glory of God, nor has, nor can. This talks about the holiness of God. If a man physically looked upon God in His full glory with his eyes on this earth that man would simply die where he stood. The LORD says to Moses in Exodus 33:20kjv, And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
There is one exception ~ The Lord Jesus (The perfect God-man). The Lord Jesus testified He has seen the Father (John 6:46kjv). No other man has nor can.
So considering what we have seen from holy scripture that Jesus is the only one who has seen the Father, and Paul says no man (except Christ) can see the Father, how did Joseph Smith? How did Joseph Smith look upon His face and live? Simple ~ Joseph Smith did NOT see the Father nor did he see Jesus.

More Apologetics! Jehovah's Witnesses
At the transfiguration, three disciples of the Lord Jesus witnessed Moses and Elijah talking to Jesus. The Father spoke, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him." (Matthew 17:5kjv) The word "hear" in the Greek is "akouo" but here "akouete" ~ It is a command to be done repeatedly or continuously "keep on doing it!" So whatever generation a person lives in, they are to hear the Lord Jesus. The word "akouo" means to hear, to hearken. All men should listen (genuinely) to Him.
The Jehovah's Witnesses believe ●Jesus is not God ●Jesus did not have a bodily resurrection
Let us test their claims with what Jesus says in the Bible. In the book of John 2:19-22, the Lord Jesus speaks to the Jews about His death, burial and resurrection. In v. 19kjv, Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Notice Jesus is the One who said these to them. The Lord speaks of a temple (destroy this temple), and a time period of three days, and a resurrection. The Jews in the next verse thought He meant the temple building, but John clarifies what Jesus meant in v. 21 -22kjv~ John writes, "But he spake of the temple of his body."
●First, The temple refers to the body of the Lord Jesus ~ Let us continue into v. 22kjv, When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
●Next, the three days refer to His burial, and in three days I will raise it up speaks of His resurrection from the dead. (Clearly the Bible teaches this). The disciples understood after these things had taken place, Jesus had prophesied about them and they believed.
The Bible clearly teaches that God raised Jesus from the dead (Acts 3:15). Only God has the power to raise a man from the dead. Let us go back to John 2:19-22.
In v.19kjv, Jesus said, "I will raise it (Note: which means a temple) up in three days." Raise what temple? - Again in v. 21, But he spake of the temple of his body. Jesus said He will raise Himself (His own body) up from the dead. What does that mean? ●God raised Jesus (Acts 3:15) and Jesus raised Himself (John 2:19-22) = Jesus is Almighty God. Jesus proclaims He is God in John 2:19-22.
Next, we also notice from the same text that it is a bodily resurrection, not a spiritual resurrection nor was the body taken away by God the Father (like Jehovah's Witnesses believe). Jesus said in three days He would raise His body from the dead. Another verse (after the resurrection), Jesus said, Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have (Luke 24:39kjv)
The Bible teaches ● Jesus is God ● Jesus rose a bodily resurrection, the opposite to what Jehovah's Witnesses believe.
This concludes that Jehovah's Witnesses do not hear (hearken) the Lord Jesus like the Father commands in Matthew 17:5, 1. Jesus says He is Almighty God, but they do not believe Him, they believe He is a created being (an angel) who became a man, 2. Jesus said He had a bodily resurrection, but again, they do not believe Him, they believe He had a spiritual resurrection, and the Father took His body. Simply, The Jesus they believe in is not the Jesus of the Bible.

More Apologetics! The Mormons 2
In Doctrine and Covenants 130:22 (supposed revelations given to Joseph Smith), The father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man‘s, the son also. It is clear that a distinction between the body of the Father‘s, and the body of Jesus is made. Let us test this with what the Bible proclaims.
In this time we will look at the Father because the Bible clearly teaches the incarnation of Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ who has been Fully God for all eternity (as Spirit) took on humanity (man), and walked among this darkened world. He had two natures, fully God and fully man, but still one person, the one person of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says in John 1:14a kjv, And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us ~
When it comes to the Father, the Bible never talks about the Father having or taking on a human nature or a body like man. If the Father has never had a human nature or a body like man, then He must only be Spirit because Jesus said in John 4:24kjv, God is a Spirit (made clear by the Lord that God is a Spirit) and in Luke 24:39kjv, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have (speaking about Christ's human nature).
To add to what has been said already, the Bible says that God was never created because He is the Creator and eternal (Genesis 1:1; Psalm 24:1; Isaiah 37:16; Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalm 90:2; 1Timothy 1:17).
God says He is the only God and there were no other gods before Him and none after Him (Isaiah 44:6; Isaiah 43:10).
These scriptures expose another false Joseph Smith doctrine that the Father was just a man like we are, before he became a god, and that we have the potential of becoming a god, like Him.
Joseph Smith's doctrine of "The Father has a body" is heresy and he lowers God to a created man like us who became a god of many gods, and the potential for us to do the same.
The Bible teaches the God of the Bible is the Eternal, Sovereign, All powerful, All knowing, Omnipresent, Creator, One and Only God (always and forever) who is Spirit.
