The LDS church uses the phrase “when interpreted correctly” which is ludicrous

I always ask The Mormons where is the Bible incorrectly translated, and if it correctly translated, then I don’t need the Book of Mormon.

They can't say, can they!! LOL!!


Even better is ask:

Why don't you guys use the JST (Joseph Smith Translation: the Inspired Version) that god himself told JS to create?

Selected snips from:  https://www.lds.org/ensign/1972/12/joseph-smiths-inspired-translation-of-the-bible?lang=eng
 

 
 
There are a few passages in which the printed Inspired Version fails to present the corrections found in the Prophet’s manuscripts, but these are passages of minor importance and are relatively insignificant.
 
 
Ooops!  (Perhaps GOD will tell your current Living Prophet to get on the stick and FINISH the work that JS messed up)
 

 
 
In view of the fact that the Prophet did not complete the work, and because the new translation is published and copyrighted by the Reorganized Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not accept it as authoritative, although it is read by many Latter-day Saints.
 
 
Oh?
By 1833, he felt it was sufficiently complete that preparations for publication could begin, though continual lack of time and means prevented it from appearing in its entirety during his lifetime.

Well boo hoo hoo!   It ain't OUR football, so we ain't gonna play!
 

 
While it is true that the Prophet intended to make additional changes in the new translation, we also recognize that one can benefit from the many improvements that he did make.
 
Well; when will SLC man up and tar the JST with the same brush it uses on the KJV??
 
 
...as far as it's translated correctly.
