The software is excellent for checking articles against copyright complaints. But the moderators have to do it manually on the reply posts, so we ask posters to include source information.
Your cooperation is appreciated.

It wasn’t a cut and paste. I don’t need to source myself.
OY VEY!
Now it looks like a cut and paste to me. But I guess someone could type this in.

“AUTHORITY TO TRANSLATE. The Prophet Joseph Smith claimed a divine appointment to make an inspired rendition or, as he termed it, a “new translation” of the Bible. This appointment can be illustrated by excerpts from his writings. After laboring off and on for ten months on the early chapters of Genesis, Joseph Smith received a revelation from the Lord on March 7, 1831, directing him to begin work on the New Testament: “It shall not be given unto you to know any further concerning this chapter, until the New Testament be translated, and in it all these things shall be made known; wherefore I give unto you that ye may now translate it” (D&C 45:60-61). “
But that is not what I posted. I posted THIS:
Authority from Satan is not authority.
source- reaganaut.
Because I DID NOT CUT AND PASTE, much less without sourcing it. You are accusing me of something I did not do.
Now, please post a link to the post you think I failed to reference or apologize.
Journal of Discourses, v. 13, p. 225
man could have originated them himself. All that man has ever done, with all his boasted intelligence, has been simply to develop or find out a few of the common principles of nature that always have existed, and always will exist, for these things and every principle of nature are eternal. The Gospel is also eternal. But where is there a man who understands heavenly things? Who can unravel them? Who has been behind the vail and talked with the Gods? Who among the wise men, philosophers, divines, philanthropists, kings, rulers or authorities of the earth can comprehend God or His designs. If we can understand so imperfectly the laws of nature with which we are surrounded, with the privileges of seeing, feeling, comparing and analyzing, what do we know of things beyond our vision, hearing, or comprehension? We can read, in the history of the past, of the rise and fall of nations, of the downfall of thrones and of the destruction of kingdoms; we can read of wars and rumors of wars. History points out what has transpired in relation to the nations of the earth and to men who have lived upon it, but who can penetrate into the future? Man is an immortal being: he is destined to live in time and throughout all eternity. He possesses not only a body, but a soul that will exist while “life or thought or being lasts, or immortality endures.” Who can tell in relation to this future? Who can tell things pertaining to our heavenly existence, or the object God had in view for creating this and other worlds, and the destiny of the human family? No man, except God reveals it to him. What has been and still is the position of the world in relation to these things? It has been governed by every kind of dogma and theory of religion. “Isms” of every kind have prevailed in turn—polytheism, infidelity, Christianity in its ten thousand forms, and every kind of theory and dogma that the human imagination could invent. Such contrarieties show definitely and positively that men, by wisdom, cannot find out God. And Christianity, at the present time, is no more enlightened than other systems have been. What does the Christian world know about God? Nothing; yet these very men assume the right and power to tell others what they shall and what they shall not believe in. Why, so far as the things of God are concerned, they are the veriest fools; they know neither God nor the things of God. Our Government is engaged just now in an act of this kind. Our legislators would tell me what I shall and shall not believe in, what shall be the course of my morals, as if they were immaculate and had been made perfect; as though they had inspiration from on high, and had found out the truth in all its richness, power and glory; as though they had conversed with the heavens and were acquainted with God. Oh, fools! What do they know about the truth? No more than a child about its hand. They are imbecile and ignorant and in the dark, and the greatest difficulty in the matter is—they are fools and don’t know it.
We consider, and always have since this Church was organized, that that part of Scripture that I quoted before is true—namely, “No, man knows the things of God but by the Spirit of God.” We, as Latter-day Saints, understood no correct principle until it was revealed to us. I did not, nor have I ever met with anybody that did, and I have travelled very extensively over the world that we live in, and have met with all classes and grades of men in
“”What! Are Christians ignorant? Yes, as ignorant of the things of God as the brute beast.”
- Prophet John Taylor, Journal of Discourses, v. 13, p. 225”
Now I don’t find this qoute on page 225. Can you point out what line it is in.
try JoD 6:25
http://www.journalofdiscourses.org/volume-06/
still trying to pick at nits huh blue boy?
Then I'm not as smart as the inttigentsiya.
Show me where I accussed you of anything. I never stated that you posted this. I'm the one that deserves an apology.
http://www.journalofdiscourses.org/volume-13/
and went to page 225 that you “quoted from” I'm just to stupid to find that quote on that page allso. BTW It is the same text that I posted.
As explained to me links and source are provided so other readers can quickly check the sources.
My mind is funny. i think that I can only check the sources that are provided and can only do this if they are correct.
Copied the wrong Taylor comment. jod 13, 225 contains another anti-Christian diatribe that got mixed up with the other.
“What does the Christian world know about God? Nothing; yet these very men assume the right and power to tell others what they shall and what they shall not believe in. Why so far as the things of God are concerned, they are the veriest fools; they know neither God nor the things of God.” (John Taylor, JI) 13:225)
The Internet is great but has one draw back. That being anyone can say anything knowing that 90% of the readers will not take the time to see what was really said. I have feeling that you didn't copy the incorrect comment but the site you were cutting from made the error. BTW I found the site.
