I've long since forgotten the thread name, or even forum I was on. But various Christians were arguing against Mormonism, using their interpretation of John 1:1 to prove that the Bible was God, and therefore perfect and infallible and deserving of reverence and worship. Other discussions over the decades has led me to believe that the more extreme a Christian becomes in their inerrantist belief, the more likely they are to assign qualities of deity to the Holy Bible.

I don't know what percentage of Christianity holds to that particular understanding, but it sure the heck ain't zero. And, since whenever I've encountered one of them, they're usually asking a "question" like we heard in the OP (proceeded by a bunch of things stated as fact, that really are interpretations and guesses), I thought the OP might get lucky and identify one of their core beliefs and specifically call out that LDS don't share it.

No snark intended.

Ohhh....
