If the text of the book of mormon was transcribed as per the fellow below...
What could have possibly provided the basis for a change in the church's century old doctrine?
Just asking...
The Book of Mormon has had plenty of corrections, although they might not have fixed those parts (yet.)
“What could have possibly provided the basis for a change in the church’s century old doctrine?”
It became inconvenient? Don’t ask me, but they did make some sustantial changes on race at that time.
Some of the Mormon teachings are pretty strange, but I think there is also a large percentage that don’t care about the details and like the family atmosphere.
