why read the commentary instead of the real thing?
I prefer my translations from known authors rather than looking into a hat.
As you already know, the Christian world is fragmented into numerous different sects, all interpreting the Bible differently. Some believe in infant baptism which is an abomination to God. Some teach liberal morality which leads to dicey situations.
Apostle Paul taught: "One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism." The Bible also teaches the "Law of Witnesses" where in the mouths of two or three witnesses shall all truths be verified. Jesus proclaimed this principle when He said that He and the Father are witnesses for each other.
The "Book of Mormon" is that Second Witness of Christ. It cuts through the clouds of confusion the doctrines of wicked men. The Lord revealed to the prophet Ezekiel the coming of the "Book of Mormon" in Ezek. 37:
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
The "Stick of Judah" is the Bible, the gift from God through the Jews. The "Stick of Ephraim" is the "Book of Mormon", the marvelous "Work and a Wonder" that God promised to perform in the Latter Days (see Isaiah 29:13 and 14).
