Kinda like NIV and all the other permutations. I tend to stick with KJV and call it done.

Why would there be a discussion about Bible translations on a thread about the Book of Mormon?

The only logical reasons I can think of are: 1. To sidetrack the discussion. 2. To inject the idea that the Bible contains errors, and thus deflect any critisism of the Book of Mormon's translation errors/revisions. Either way, it would seem the person more concerned about defending the Book of Mormon (by creating doubt about the Bible) than actually having a serious discussion about the Book of Mormon.

Very perceptive Brook. I don't know how much you follow these threads, but it is a common ruse to side track the discussion. Mormons will even go as far as starting to cite/link to atheist sites to bolster their argument.

No, it’s to draw a parallel between what I consider wrongful rewrites of the Bible with what I assume would be considered wrongful rewrites of the Mormon texts.

Personally I put no faith at all in the Mormon ideologies as I’m a Baptist. “No man cometh unto the Father but by me”, and all that.
