Sir you just lied to me and those reading here.

The LDS KJV DOES NOT FOOTNOTE the JST, only the "Pearl of Great Price" which includes the book of Abraham, discredited above. It also includes "selections" of the book of Matthew, Moses and Genesis, however these do not match the original JST book in his ENTIRELY "translated" bible.

I guess in short, you as a church are in agreement with Brigham Young that Joseph Smith's translation of the bible was "spurious" and a fraud.

Your founder wrote it. YOU OWN IT.

As expected, you just can't handle the truth.

Since I can't easily hand you my copy of the LDS published King James Bible (which I take with me to church every Sunday), here is a link to Matthew Chapter 1. If you have never been to the LDS scriptures website before, you should see footnote indicators (if you don't see footnotes, look for the link on the right that says "show footnotes").

Scroll on down to verse 16 and click in the word "who" indicated by footnote d. Up pops the Joseph Smith Translation, which says "as the prophets have written, who is called Christ."

Verse 18, footnote a is another JST note.

In Matthew Chapter 2 you can see a case where the JST is longer and is included in the appendix. See verse 4, footnote b.

In the printed version the footnotes are on the bottom of the page. For example, the first page of Matthew chapter 1 has the King James text in two columns, running through verse 18. Under that is a solid line, then three columns of footnotes. At the bottom of the middle column, last line, it says "d JST Matt. 1:4 . . . as the prophets" (etc).

Observers, this is the typical pattern in these threads. Any answer provided by the LDS is either ignored or claimed to be a lie. Even something as simple of what our printed Bible looks like. I have just been accused of lying when I have told the exact, complete truth.

SENTINEL, are you mature enough to apologize?
