“Why did Joseph Smith create his own translation of the Bible that Mormons recognize by footnotes in the King James Version?”
Because he was commanded to. Don’t like it? Then don’t read it; it’s not my lookout.
I’m out of this one. Most of the detractors of the LDS Church in this thread have already made the same tired arguments in other threads; their questions have all been answered ten times over. Their only goal is to smear the LDS Church; it’s their “hobby,” if you will.
I’ve got better things to do with my life than repeat myself to people who refuse to listen.
If you are a person who is genuine in your desire to learn more about the LDS Church, feel free to message me privately. I will answer any questions you may have to the best of my ability.
So it was inspired then, by God?
