All this discussion about the Bible and Mormonism reminds me of something interesting. Some chunks of the Book of Mormon are word for word verbatim the same as chunks in the King James version of the Bible. Then Joseph Smith "translates" the Bible and makes some corrections to some of those very same verses that were "incorrectly translated" in the King James version of the Bible. So not only did the translators of the Bible get it wrong then so did the Nephite prophets and/or Joseph Smith.

  To quickly research a little on this embarrassing issue for my church see http://scriptures.lds.org/en/jst/contents, http://scriptures.lds.org/en/3_ne/12, http://scriptures.lds.org/en/3_ne/13, http://scriptures.lds.org/en/3_ne/14, http://scriptures.lds.org/en/matt/5, http://scriptures.lds.org/en/matt/6, and http://scriptures.lds.org/en/matt/7.

So basically either the Book of Mormon is wrong and/or the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible is wrong. They both can’t be right. This is most certainly a big problem for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of which I’m a member and High Priest. The best thing for us to do is to repent and apologize for Joseph Smith and his lunacies.
