I Think There's a Good Reason for the King James Bible English in the Book of Mormon

Critics of the LDS Church think that phraseology from the King James Version of the BIble in the Book of Mormon indicates that it is a fraud.  I disagree.  Here's why.

If Smith were reading the Bible regularly before his 1820 encounter with Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and many angels, doesn't it stand to reason that Smith would be even more enthusiastic in reading the Bible thereafter than he was before?  Our vocabulary is obviously shaped by the books we read.  It is not hard to imagine that Smith's vocabulary would have been distinctly shaped by his reading of the Bible intensely for the 3 years between the "First Vision" and his becoming acquainted with Moroni in 1823.  And that intensity could only have grown after Moroni quoted the Bible to him and told him that he was about to make clear the beginnings of the work that Christ told Smith in 1820 that he would be instrumental in helping to bring forth.  I don't know about you, but by that point, I'd be taking my Bible with me to every meal, while I was walking into town, while I was  resting in between clearing land for my father's farm, and a lot of other places I can think of.  

The King James Bible was the most popular edition in the day, and I think it's been evidenced that the Smith family had at least one copy(?) of the KJV.  In the 9 years or  so between Smith's first encounter with the divine and when the Book of Mormon translation began, I can imagine that Smith had thoroughly incorporated KJV vocabulary into his everyday manner of speech (not to mention that he had probably been able to memorize great swathes of it in preparation for the mission that Christ and Moroni told him he was being assigned).  

We also have significant evidence that Christ, the Father, and Moroni were only a very few of the divine messengers that Smith entertained during that time period.

This sheds light on a very likely reason  that the Book of Mormon is peppered with KJV phraseology.

School Vouchers: "The Bramble Memo"

$429 million? What? Where? The legislative fiscal analyst for the State of Utah calculated the costs to the public schools over the next 13 years if school vouchers are implemented. It said the costs would be $5.5M in the first year, and $71M in the 13th year. Suddenly, the number I have started seeing thrown around was $429 million, the total costs for vouchers over 13 years. Where did that number come from? Enter the mysterious "Bramble Memo". In the past few days several of us (Jeremy, Utah Taxpayer, Craig, Sara, Urban Koda, Jesse, and me) have (sometimes?) enjoyed a lively discussion about school vouchers in Utah . Jeremy clarified to me the costs of the venture by linking to a copy of the Utah Legislative Fiscal Analyst's Impartial Analysis (LFA) of the costs of Vouchers , found on "The Senate Site". In my previous voucher article, I quoted some of Lavar Webb's article from last Sunday's Deseret News, wherein he stated that those total costs ...

The Inhumanity of Bob Lonsberry: Waterboarding, Concentration Camps, and the the Bataan Death March

KNRS 570 radio talk show host Bob Lonsberry advocated waterboarding and other forms of torture during his show on April 21, 2009. More grotesquely, he was beaming with pride about his advocacy campaign. It's difficult to imagine then, that, by the same rationale, had Lonsberry been a German at the time of Hitler, or a Japanese during the Bataan Death March, that he would not have advocated torture of Jews in the concentration camps or the bayoneting and shooting of American soldiers on the Bataan trail. Torture, Torture, Everywhere! Nearly 80,000 American soldiers were captured by the Japanese in the To contemplate a discussion about whether or not torture is legal or whether it even works, it is first required to come to the conclusion that 'I am a child of God, but my adversary is a monkey'.

Amazing Grace: Why Do So Many Mormons Not Get It?

Note on Comments for This Post: Somehow, blogger is displaying about 3 fewer comments than have actually been entered. I have added 3 comments, so that the last relevant ones will be shown. In addition, I have closed comments on this article. Please click on this link to continue commenting on the original article . Sorry for the inconvenience. In large part because of the many childish and tyrannical things we do to each other (and to ourselves), life sometimes seems to suck. God, however, did not intend it to be that way. Unfortunately, our worst tormentor is often ourselves. We Mormons mentally flagellate ourselves on a regular basis. God especially did not intend it to be this way. Instead, he hopes that we will look upward and see the Amazing Grace that he gives to us. We're so busy with the seeming enjoyment of miring ourselves in guilt, however, that we seldom even notice that his grace is at our fingertips. Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch l...
