Not one, because they can’t.

GOD told JS to re-translate the KJV and correct it.

It is known as the JS translation or Inspired Version.

The old Rlds folks (now Community of Christ) own the copyright to it.

(Seems it got left behind when the fearful Mormons followed Brigham on those deadly trips, pulling a handcart, to Utah.)

It is considered SCRIPTURE by the CoC folks, but NOT included in the QUAD of scripture by the SLC folks.

Weird; eh?

Why keep the KJV when it has alleged errors and NOT use the JST?


Just another of the unfathomable mysteries of MormonISM.

Weird? only to those who lack understanding,

What alleged errors?? You know better. The JST is heavily quoted in footnotes to the KJV as you also well know. Not only that, the LDS Church does not print the JST, as you also know. Are you attempting to deceive or only distort?

Mysteries, maybe, unfathomable, not at all. It is one reason God has told us we are to uncork the mysteries. Another lead line just for you.

Could it be the vaunted Elsie is also aware that handcart companies were primarily used from 1856 to 1860. That’s five years out of the 1847 to 1869 foot, wagon and horse traffic to Utah territory, prior to completion of the transcontinental railroad.
