Bible Question: The Book of Mormon had 3000 plus grammatical errors blamed on the publishers, according to a Mormon friend. Does anyone know the amount of publisher mistakes the Bible has had in ...let's say the KJV? |
Bible Answer: Charlie: Tell your Mormon friend that grammatical errors are not the fault of publishers. The types of errors a publisher makes are typographical ones. The grammar mistakes we see in the 1830 Book of Mormon (which have since been "corrected") are due to a fallible, unintelligent "translator" of some mythical plates written in a non-existant language called Reformed Egyptian. The fact is that the LDS had to clean up Jospeh Smith's poor command of the English language. Incidentally, a lot of the differences between the 1830 Book of Mormon and present-day editions are not grammar corrections but actual replacements of words and phrases due to changes in LDS teachings (such as banning blacks from the priesthood due to the "curse" that was put on the Lamanites). --Joe! |
