***I believe the only book of the King James Bible that Joseph Smith said was uninspired, and thus included by mistake, is the Song of Solomon (Song of Songs). Read it again and you will see why.***

Why, then, is the Song of Songs included in LDS scriptures?

I can imagine Joseph, Emma and the other wives reading it responsively...

1:5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

1:6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.

I don't know about White Mountain, but I get 'inspired' every time I read Song of Solomon.

This was the first time that I heard that Ol' Joe didn't think the Song of Solomon was not inspired.

The question not only is why the LDS keep in their bible, but also why he doesn't think it is inspired. He didn't seem to have any problem with the content in daily use.
