This page was started at [[NathanRichardson|Nathan Richardson's]] suggestion. There is no way to automate this index, so any time a new article is created, the author will need to add all its scripture references here. --[[User:MikeParker|MikeParker]] 18:01, 17 Apr 2006 (EDT) | This page was started at [[NathanRichardson|Nathan Richardson's]] suggestion.

==Main idea== | |||
I think it'd be good to have a page where people can look up resources, not by topic, but by the verse or verses in question. For example, a user hears the Rev. 22 argument against continuing revelation. Instead of trying to decide what heading to look under in the topical guide (prophets, canon, revelation, Bible, etc.), they just come to the scripture index and look under Rev. 22. | |||
I think we should probably limit it to criticisms directly related to the verse itself, and exclude criticisms only tangentially related to a passage. In other words, many articles and topics will not be within the scope of this index. It will probably include only those criticisms of the type "The Book of Mormon can't be true because it says here . . ." or "LDS doctrine contradicts this Bible passage . . ." or "Joseph Smith's prophecy in D&C X:Y-Z failed because . . ." Mountain Meadows articles probably wouldn't be indexed here at all. And not all articles about polygamy would be indexed under "D&C 132." Rather, the only polygamy articles (that I can think of) that would merit an entry in the scripture index would be those that address verses like Jacob 2:24 and its apparent contradiction of D&C 132:38–39. Does that makes sense? | |||
I mention that because the two passages currently under "Adam-God" are in ''support'' of the LDS position, so they wouldn't be passages that a person looking for answers would know to look under. I'm imagining this index consisting pretty much of the passages used ''against'' the Church, since those will be the ones the user has on his mind. That would also keep this index a little smaller and more manageable. | |||
