Hey Colo which version of the Bible is the perfect one? Which translation? Which denomination?

I'll consider addressing that when you answer this question:

Which Book of Mormon do you & Lds missionaries & other Mormons ask people to pray about? (The 1830 version? Or the one that's been edited, cleaned up, and thousands of changes have been made to this supposedly "pure" translation from a supposed pure "seer" and "revelator").

If Smith was truly translating these from "gold plates" by the power of God or the Holy Spirit, well, since when does God need an editor to...
...Clean up mistakes about which king the text is talking about?
...Or why does "the Son of" need to be added in 1 Nephi a couple of times?
...Or why does "white and delightsome" need editing to become "pure and delightsome?"

[And if you contend most of those changes were simply grammar and the like, I will tell you that since you & a whole host of Mormons ask people to pray about the Book of Mormon, if you were asking people to pray about the 1830 version -- and people read it -- they would see where you've got this country bumpkin of a person (Smith) in numerous chunks bumping up vs. the majestic language & grammar of the KJV -- and they'd realize Smith doesn't measure up...but lo & behold, Smith had to come in & start editing the thing AFTER it had been published...and the LDS church can't leave the document alone without putting more changes into it!!!]

For most purposes, the KJV is good. As I understand it the LDS group uses a different translation or an edited version of the KJV, is that correct?
