Ol' Joey did purty good at gettin' most of the KJV English right in his BoM; didn't he, Sister!

Which leads one to wonder, if he said that Presbyterianism was untrue, then why quote so much of the Bible in HIS works? In those days Presbyterianism was much closer to Biblical beliefs than it is today.

Does that mean, then, that the BoM is wrong as well? OR at least the parts where the actual Bible is quoted?

It is the Lord that was displeased with the Traditiion of men as he spoke to his prophet Joseph Smith for ToM have down through the ages mondified the word of the Lord, which the Lord told Jossph Smith in a revelation when Joseph asked which church should he join...

18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join.

No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.

19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”

1 Cor. 11

16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

It seems when man content he is outside his church and avoids the commandment of the Lord!

John 13:

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
