Something I thought about the other day, why is it that the LDS church uses the King James Version of the Bible? Isn't most of the reason why the other scriptures (BoM/PoGP/D&C) exist in the first place? Because they don't believe the Bible to be inerrant or properly translated?
Are they not aware that the KJV is probably the worst translated version of the Bible in publication today? That thing was revised countless times due to really big errors (gender confusion, the translation of Koine Greek vs. Classical Greek, even the definition of certain words was completely jacked up). Not to mention straight-up censorship due to the era of it's release.
I mean, if they are so worried about properly inspired and translated doctrine, why are they using the worst possible version, the one that has been tampered with the most?
Sometimes when I think about these things, my brain hurts and I feel so stupid for falling for their crap. I mean, this one is really obvious to me. Why?
