Translated by whom is the question. Mormonism requires you to put your faith in a man of extremely questionable character and morals. A man who has been found to have been fooled by the papyri and the kinderhook plates. If he was inspired of God, how does a man make so many errors in the bom? A man who has been shown time and time again to be in error.
If the bom is supposedly the most correct book on the face of the planet and js was doing God's work, why then did God allow him to be killed? Why wasn't he allowed to finish the work?
When confronted with these facts, how then, can one believe that the js version of the Bible is anywhere near accurate and or translated correctly?
The qualifier statement at the beginning of this post was used on me years ago, and I will admit, I was easy pickin’s for the missionaries because I didn’t have a religious background. Now that my cynicism of the many things mormon have been shown to be correct, my problem is to get to know the Lord and put my faith in Him, not a man. Not only that, I must somehow show and prove to my wife that what she’s believed for over 40 years is false.
Everything about the lds church, bom and js vers. of the Bible requires one to build their entire faith on the back of one man.
Regarding translating, I’ll take a biblical scholar over js anyday. Regarding salvation, I'll take Jesus over js.
