“Joseph Smith said his name would be known for good and evil.”
So Joseph Smith is his own expert? You will not find him mentioned in Holy Scripture. That is why Mormonism is a cult. They add to and take away from the Bible.
Any man who thinks it is ok to have multiple wives, is in sin. David, Solomon, etc., were in sin as well.
It is not.. But I think you hate this whole freedom of worship thing in the Constitution.. If people wants to join the LDS so be it..
Some of the more aware Inmans will correct me if I'm wrong but I've read that Joseph did indeed add his name near the end of the book of Genesis, in his "edit" of the Bible.
Except that throughout scripture, we are warned about false prophets.
Any man who thinks it is ok to have multiple wives, is in sin. David, Solomon, etc., were in sin as well.

Exactly. When the LDS defend polygamy they usually turn to the OT to ‘prove’ it is ok with God. But it wasn’t ok then either.
The Joseph Smith Translation has restored some of the plain and precious things that have been lost from the Bible (1 Ne. 13).
Although it is not the official Bible of the Church, this translation does offer many interesting insights and is very valuable in understanding the Bible. It is also a witness for the divine calling and ministry of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
