“Yet, Joseph Smith would have. He came to earth at the request of God, only to hide his “Name.” I don’t think so. Makes no sense to me. As it was not God who wanted his name hidden.”
So then none of the authors of the New Testament were sent by God either because they “hid” the name Yahweh as well. Every time the NT authors quote the OT they “hide” YHWH under “LORD”. I’m just saying...
I think LDS is a sham. I don’t think your reasoning, however, really works here.
You missed my point entirely.\\
Read again what I wrote and then read your Hebrew and Greek Scriptures.
No one changed the text. I never said or implied that the Authors knew or did not know Gods Holy Name. However, regardless. The “SOUNDING” or correct pronunciation of the word is NOT CONVEYED via the written language. Therefore being lost.
So my learned friend, please explain why my reasoning is flawed. I am sure you a fully aware that the original Scriptures were not WRITTEN IN ENGLISH. Why then is it the English version that substitute “YHWH” with “THE LORD?”
Have you ever wondered why?
