How much scripture are we still missing or not recognizing? If we take Nephi seriously, perhaps quite a bit! Latter-day Saints are quick to quote Nephi in defending the logic behind recognizing extra-biblical scripture such as the Book of Mormon. We are even at times uncharitable, labeling as fools (2 Nephi 29:4) those who accept the Bible but reject additional scripture. But if we continue reading that passage, Nephi seems to set us up to fall into our own foolish trap.
