OK, DU which version of the Book of Mormon is inspired?

The most current one you can get Here.

As for the 116 pages, God knew that it would happen and that people would alter the translation, so he prepared a second story teller, who starts the Book of Mormon we have by telling the same stuff in the 116 pages but from the perspective of Lehi's Son.

No double standard...

True: just double TALK!


 
 

Oh... in my BoM 1981 edition, on the page with the introduction (4th sheet from front) has these lines...
 
"The record is now published in many languages as a new and additional witness that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that all who will come unto him and obey the laws and ordinances of his gospel may be saved.
 
Concerning this record the Prophet Joseph Smith said: "I told the brethern that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book."
 
Then I find, just 4 pages past that, under A BRIEF EXPLANATION ABOUT  THE BOOK OF MORMON, I found this at the bottom of the page...
 
About this edition: Some minor errors in the text have been perpetrated in past editions of the Book of Mormon.  This edition contains corrections that seem appropriate to bring the material into conformity with prepublication manuscripts and early editions edited by the Prophet Joseph Smith.
 
 
Interesting!
