I'm a mere researcher.
I have long since suspected it is possible that Joe Smith wasn't necessarily trying to start a new false religion. He wrote a fairy tale, to try to make some money. It took off, and he just went along with it.
I have asked them where they believe the Bible is not correctly translated. I have NEVER gotten an answer.
Actually, it is more like Joe stole a short novel by a local minister and with the help of a creep who worked for the printer where the novel was sent for publication, Smith stretched the story using Old Testament passages. Eventually, Smith’s natural intelligence and lack of education came up with The Book of Mormon. Later, when Egyptian funeral papri were circulating in the Eastern United States, Smith’s spiel created the Book of Abraham out of whole cloth.
Well; GOD directed Joseph Smith to REtranslate the KJV bible to get rid of any errors.
Joseph Smith did as commanded; giving the world the Inspired Version of the Bible: know as the JST: Joseph Smith Translation.
For some unknown reason, SLC has NOT given it's approval to be elevated to the status of 'official' Mormon scripture; preferring instead to use the old KJV.
Try getting an answer for THAT!!!
