Even with a supposedly restored and properly translated Bible, the LDS church still insists on offering a disclaimer that they don't know if the Bible (KJV, JST, or otherwise) is translated correctly or not. Not exactly the kind of assuredness I'd expect from an organization led by a prophet.

Those who find fault with the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints do so out of ignorance for they fail to realized the original copy of the JST was handle by many hands before The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints received a copy!

So the JST is just another "we believe it insofar as it has been correctly translated" work, too?

(Oh, and that never happened with the Bible, eh? And so, the KJV Bible is "untrustworthy," too?)

Oh, and what about the "many hands" on the Book of Mormon? Joseph Smith didn't make those almost 3,000 edits. Edits where King names were changed. Edits where "the Son of" was inserted, etc.

Any other lame excuses?

PROVE that the JST was “handled by many hands” before the LDS church got a copy. I do not see how that can possibly be since JS made the changes with his scribes and they had total control and possession.

And IF the JST was corrupted (which I seriously doubt), the how can you trust ANY OF IT, including the parts that are used as footnotes in the LDS KJV and in the Pearl of Great Price? If the JST is unreliable, then it should be thrown out, right?

And I find fault with the LDS church, not from ignorance, but from personal KNOWLEDGE and found the LDS church to be a fraud.
