I think you are confusing the Pearl of Great Price with the Bible appendix. Yes, parts of the POGP are large extracts from the JST, but not all of the cross referenced parts are. There are many cross-referenced JST sections that are not in the POGP, but only in the footnotes or the Bible appendix.
Including the one you bring up in Genesis 50. . The footnote "a" in verse 50 points to the Bible appendix with the JST text.
Alas, the link in-line is broken.
No, wait, this time I click it an up pops the "hidden" text. Must be bad Java coding. Took a while for it to pop up.
About the only statement you made that is true is that a complete JST is not available on the LDS site. At least I haven't been able to find it. Otherwise, once again, you accuse falsely.
Now I am pondering if bad Java on the LDS web site is caused by the Word of Wisdom. . .
You did not create the website, and I'm sure you didn't check them all any more than I did.
Tell me though, really, how is it possible that they don't use the whole JST ? Seems like a slap in the face to Joseph Smith. He said God told him to do it, and it took him years, why just discard it like that ?
Thanks for this!
We are getting WAY to tense in this thread!
(I hope you don't have to explain it!)
