No, I understood your point clearly - smith was acting by shear “power of God” or whatever.

The fact is that as soon as discussion of the Trinity pops up - one of the first areas attacked is the Johanne Coma - a section added by a scribe into 1 John. In smith’s time it was thought to be authentic - yet here we are 150 years later KNOWING it was added.

Here is the point Don - the origional ms did NOT contain this passage - therefore smith failed by allowing it to stay in untouched. Now by leaving it in place - smith prophetically condoned the passage as authentic. That passage as well as others were not excised.

And you have an original manuscript to confirm this? :-)
