In this short clip, Kelly Powers asks Hayden Carroll a very simple and reasonable question—to which Hayden Carroll seems unable to give a reasonable answer. The question he is asking is:
“How can you know what is in the Bible is true?”
That is a good question. A better way of framing that question in my opinion would be:
“How can you know that the Bible is divinely inspired and word of God, and it is true?”
The most important item of knowledge about the Bible is not just that it is true; but that it is the divinely inspired word of God, and it is true. And my answer to it would be, “By faith;” and also, “By the power of the Holy Ghost”. As I read the Bible in faith, the Spirit of the Lord witnesses to me that it is divinely inspired and word of God, and it is true. That is how I know. And the same applies equally to the Book of Mormon. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and the word of God in exactly the same way—by the power of the Holy Ghost—no difference.
