The false prophet's name was JOSEPH Smith, not John. The letter was a forgery so it is not the jibber jabber you sought to post as evidence. Give the site of LDS scriptures a read, and note the rewritten Bible (called the Joseph Smith Translation) the LDS have as 'better translation'. That is a real piece of evidence for their accusation that the Bible is the Word of God so far as it is accurately translated ... as if Joe adding more than 800 words to Genesis chapter 50 is 'a better translation'. When opposing heresies it is important to be accurate.

How can Joseph Smith have produced a “better” translation of the Bible since he was a a barely educated well digger who had no knowledge of the Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic that the origional scriptures were written in?

But I will grant you he did have fluency in Reformed Egyption...LOL
