Joseph Smith Changed The Bible: Revelation Book

A Bible translation from an ancient manuscript is acceptable if the person is led by God. This means that he or she understands both languages also. Those who rewrite an already translated Bible are not led by God. Any paraphrased version of a translated Biblical text should be thrown out and not read. One such version of the Bible is the Joseph Smith Translation. This is where Joseph Smith used the King James Bible to write his own translation. It is written, “Joseph Smith, the first prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, made a “new translation” of the Bible, using the text of the King James Version (KJV). This work differs from the KJV in at least 3,410 verses and consists of additions, deletions, rearrangements, and other alterations that cause it to vary not only from the KJV but from other biblical texts.” (Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, JST)
