I meant 1830-1877 when Young died..
He and Joey Smith brought 1000’s of poor illiterate people from Europe in those days..
and kept them ignorant...
To: Elsie
Some of this looks like interpolation of orthodox evangelical theology from other sources. And the perennial debate over manuscripts remains (whether the original is closer to the so called textus receptus, which is the Catholic and KJV model, or to eclectic texts constructed via source examination and lower criticism).
But the troubling part is that it’s not being presented as a bible commentary or gospel harmonization — but as frank scripture. That is not fair to the scriptures. Even most modern editions will note variant readings in footnotes.

So is the idea to get Danes to believe and then come to America, or to evangelize Mormons to be in Denmark?

I understand. Just being my smart-ass self.
I got that book from a family member of Ezra Taft Benson when I was out tracting in Copenhagen in 1962. Some members never fell for it. Either that or there were no 15 year old girls left. Course by 1902 there was no more polygamy. Har de Har

This work on Mormon Doctrine is designed to help persons seeking salvation to gain that knowledge of God and his laws
without which they cannot hope for an inheritance in the celestial city.Since it is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance of God and his laws, and since man is saved no faster than he gains knowledge of Jesus Christ and the plan of salvation, it follows that men are obligated at their peril to learn and apply the true doctrines of the gospel.
This gospel compendium will enable men, more effectively, to "teach one another the doctrine of the kingdom"; to "be instructed more perfectly in theory, in principle, in doctrine, in the law of the gospel, in all things that pertain unto the kingdom of God, that are expedient" for them "to understand."
-- D. & C. 88:77-78

My buddy did meet Satan once, a few decades ago. Satan asked him to give his soul for rock and roll (no kidding, exactly in that manner). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRQkC2FDXuw

Spin all your two want you have years of history of doing it...

My doing this was not to argue over this, but in all truth man can not arbitrary fix this, as to make it fit.
In other words trying to debate over the word of God, which is an absolute, is not something one can take upon themselves, this act of trying to define the Nature of the Godhead was like trying to read the Mind of God!
Only The Lord can restore His Word on earth, through His anointed Prophet, there is no other way!
