Rather ironic since the Mormons have no idea whether the Book of Mormon was translated correctly because they don’t have the original text.

They canNOT say that about the 'Book of Abraham'; for the ORIGNAL text HAS been found!!

Kolob is a star or planet described in Mormon scripture.

Reference to Kolob is found in the Book of Abraham.

1	Kolob, signifying the first creation, nearest to the celestial, or the residence of God. First in government, the last pertaining to the measurement of time. The measurement according to celestial time, which celestial time signifies one day to a cubit. One day in Kolob is equal to a thousand years according to the measurement of this earth, which is called by the Egyptians Jah-oh-eh.	"The spirit of the four elements (according to Champollion), or rather of the four winds, or the four cardinal points; the soul of the terrestrial world. This god is always represented with four rams' heads, and his image has certainly been altered here. — They have also evidently made a very clumsy attempt at copying the double human head of the god figured above, fig. 2, instead of the four rams' heads. The word Jah-oh-eh has nothing Egyptian in it; it resembles the Hebrew word [redacted] badly transcribed." (emphasis in original) The name hieroglyph above the central figure is Chnm-Re, the Egyptian "First Creator" god who organized everything out of the primordial chaos.

It came to pass, when Joe was born;

there was no such thing, as Internet porn.

"It mattereth not", he was heard to say,

"I'll get some women: I'll find a way."

One day when walking, beside a brook;

A flash came to him, "I'll write a BOOK!"

"Grand and glorious, it will be;

Then folks will look way UP to me!

"To ME; one who talks with GOD;

(but some will say, "It's just a fraud.")

"He drinks too much. He wrote that thing."

But they, someday, will kiss my ring."

Who can resist, on plates of gold,

the story; long waiting; to be told;

Of far off lands, and wars aplenty;

Girls will swoon. Maybe ten or TWENTY!

To others, some already wed,

but my smooth tongue will turn that head.

To bind with me; eternal blessings;

(If I don't get SHOT, with wives I'm messing!)

But for me; It will not turn out well;

I'm afraid I'm headed: Straight For HELL!
