I understood the question, I just took it a step further in my answer. For one, there is no such thing as saving knowledge. Knowledge doesn't save.
For your question on a simpler level, I'll answer it with this question and scenario: World War II eventually contained Germany vs United States. There are books written about it from the average American's perspective; there also exists books and diaries of victims of the Holocaust who were actually in the concentration camps. The former people have an idea as to what is like and the latter were there to witness it first hand. Tell me, can you obtain a greater insight on the said war by reading one half of the story or will a person gain a greater fullness of study by reading and studying both sides of this international story?
The word of God has never been limited, at least not by God, Jesus, or the Holy Ghost. The idea of a closed canon is man's idea, not God's.
People interpret the Bible many different ways, its like a dot with never-ending lines being drawn through it. The Book of Mormon is the second dot on the paper. How many lines can be drawn between 2 dots? One. The Book of Mormon helps eliminate the many interpretations people apply to the Bible.
"The Bible can be interpreted differently" is something I hear people a lot. Applying it differently and interpreting it differently are 2 different things completely. Applying is "How can this part help me right now" whereas interpreting is "The doctrine is this." One can say they believe in Jesus all they want, false doctrine is false doctrine and no amount of devotion changes that.
The Bible is true but it isn't all God has given us. What happens if the Book of Mormon is true? Would you follow it since it comes from God or just use the Bible?
