It's called "Genesis", where Jesus Christ speaks all creation into existence.
So, perhaps you would like to tell us how your peepstone sexual predator of married women came to add more than 800 words to the end of the KJV Book of Genesis, fabricating a prophecy of his ‘coming forth in these latter days’? Clearly you seek to sow confusion and dissonance, pretending to be confused while writing purposed confusion. It is after all the LDS inc way to fertilize the field with denigrating of The Bible and all manifestations of Christianity, in order for Mormonism lies to sprout.
Historically, that's not a correct statement. Nine sects split from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (originally called the Church of Christ, and also the Church of the Latter Day Saints) before Joseph Smith, Jr.'s death in 1844. At least one, the True Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, split off during Smith's lifetime because it didn't believe in the practice of plural marriage.
Belief in Joseph Smith, Jr. as 'restoring' a One True Church also didn't keep the whole church together after his death. From the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we now have the following Latter Day Saints denominations (most of which can be traced initially to (a) groups rejecting plural marriage when it was practiced under Smith, Jr. or Brigham Young; (b) disagreement over the successor Prophet to Smith, Jr.; (c) or groups believing in the continuation of plural marriage after the 1890 Manifesto, or after the 1890 Manifesto began to be enforced under the 1904 "Second Manifesto"):

Just factually - as a historical basis - I'm not certain that would be considered as holding a whole church together.
In my Methodist faith, as well as all other forms of Protestant Christianity that I know of, hymns are only sung to God, whether it be the father (Father, Lead Me Home), the son (More Love to Thee, O Christ) or the whole trinity (Praise Ye the Triune God). We never sing hymns to anyone else.
then please tell us the parts that are "translated correctly" bm. And while you are at it, what plain and precious parts have been removed when the evidence is substantial that it has been transmitted throughout the centuries intact.
Yes, Glenn Beck is so darn stupid; he doesn’t understand anything about history. Poor Glenn.
In MY opinion, and it is playing out right now with Glenn's pay-per-view site Glenn is an opportunist and I have doubts regarding his actual belief of the mormon con.
He's a guy who sees the $$$ potential in mormonism and most especially, he's a guy whom I suspect has used the clannish mormon "help a brother get along" to the utmost in reaching his goals.
In other words, Glenn is as phony as Joseph Smith...he just actually presents some facts in his proselytizing to his followers.
Completely agree on that.
And what do you CONSIDER the JST to be?
Can this be confusing. I'm
Sorry that I quoted from this book of "fiction".
I'm honestly confessed. Is the whole Bible considered e"fiction" or just the first book ?
Well, the Joey Smith translation of the King James Bible, into King James English with added passages (800 plus words added to the end of Genesis as example) can be considered fiction. I would also count the Joey Smith ‘translation’ of the Egyptian hieroglyphs as fiction, too. How about you, Mormon?

The First Book Of Moses chapter 18 was declared to be "fiction"
or did I misunderstand.
You are, as usual, confused. If you are confused because you are mistaken is not for me to address. LDS inc depends upon LDS adherents remaining confused and misunderstanding. I have not mentioned Chapter 18 of Genesis.
This is what I'm addressing.
Why such games have to be played.
Don't answer, rhetorical question.
I'll act shocked.
Thanks for the ping...

Yes you posted science fiction dressed up in old king james english. You cant fool all the people all the time.
There are rumors that Smith had association with Masonary.
I have gone all the way to becoming a Shriner - I was only commenting on what I have heard about pictures.
I worked for a 4-Star General/Morman and have some very good friends of that faith. They are thrifty just as the Quakers/Old Order Brether/Almish which you can find along old Nation Hwy One/I-70 thru-out PA, OH, IN and westward.
The Morman religion is just one man's preching to his flock that eventually grew - I have no doubt that they beleive in a single God as well as the Old/New T's.
