Why are there so many different Bibles, new ones being added seemingly every day? (Somebody thinks they need a new version interpreted their way...) [DU]

OK, DU which version of the Book of Mormon is inspired? Was it the first truncated version of 116 pages? (The one he gave to Martin Harris, whose wife lost it?) Those 116 pages were never "re-translated." So because of that, is the only truly inspired Book of Mormon the original gold plates? (Sounds like to me it would be). Does that reality--not having the ONE good translation of the BoM--keep Mormon folk from reading & trusting in the BoM? (Nope). So it sounds like a double standard you're using, right? (Yup)

DU's posts remind me of THIS. But then Borga was paid to entertain ... and did it well!

The most current one you can get Here.

As for the 116 pages, God knew that it would happen and that people would alter the translation, so he prepared a second story teller, who starts the Book of Mormon we have by telling the same stuff in the 116 pages but from the perspective of Lehi's Son.

No double standard...
