Mormon apologist Jacob Hansen caught saying Bible isn't 100% true
August 17, 2026 at 4:08 PM MT · via YouTube / NeedGod․net · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting
A clip from NeedGod.net shows Mormon apologist Jacob Hansen stating that the Bible isn't "100% true," a position consistent with LDS doctrine but which the video's creator uses to argue that Mormonism isn't Christianity. The video gained nearly 16,000 views in 33 hours.
The LDS Church's eighth Article of Faith states "We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly," reflecting the church's position that the Bible contains errors introduced through transmission and translation. This theological stance has been a point of contention between Latter-day Saints and evangelical Christians who hold to biblical inerrancy. The video highlights this doctrinal difference as evidence that Mormonism diverges from traditional Christianity.
