Why would you quote from something, according to your articles of faith is flawed and incorrect?

Clarification ARTICLES OF FAITH

8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.

In all due respect, I would like to say for years I have wrestled with that first declaration in trying to understand it.

At first I thought it met the missing books, or the plain and precious truths etc.

But it was not that difficult at all when one considers all of the various translations of the word of God in existence of the collective manuscripts of the Old and New Testament.

If one reads this carefully it said we believe in the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly. This is not a criticism it is awareness that there are many translation that many Bible scholars have wrestled with for eons.

The main word is “translated”, it is as simple as that
