And actually, the fact that there are so many translations of the Bible validates the validity of what the Bible actually says. The various translations are all translated mostly fom historic Hebrew text ( the New Testament being mostly Greek and Aramaic). So to proof read a translation all one needs to do is look to the source... There is no original Hebrew text for the Book of Mormon. If a Hebrew copy does exist, it is the result of translating what Joseph Smith wrote into Hebrew. As for Mormons holding to the King James Version, it seems to me that Mormons do not feel that that translation is not without error.

And Christian logic would tell us that if someone's faith is shrouded in false doctrine... For the Book of Mormon being "translated" so recently, there exists no original texts and there exists no copies of the original text in the original language. All the Mormons have is the word of Joseph Smith as he alone says he translated it.

The Only True Bible is the KJV only.

You got me wrong, that is explicable - as You don't know enough about Mormonism.

The names Lucifer, Elias, and the words celestial/terrestrial are of high importance, because principles are based on them - and they don't exist most of the other Bible translations.
Without biblical background all that principles vanish into thin air.

Of course, the bases of that principles can not explained consistently in non-English translations.

The most often repeated Mormon response I have heard goes along the lines of: "Yes. No one can get married in heaven...that's why we have to do it here so that it will carry over into heaven." An amazing rational to get around scripture, I think.

So what? Clearly if people marry here for eternity, it doesn't contravene sciptures and if God honors it in the next life then what's the problem? Most Mormons also believe most Christians, such as yourself Albion, will be ministering angels in the next life and servants of the celestial beings (Mormons). So, if it is your belief that you will not be married in the next life and only attain the station of an angel, you should be perfectly content with your ultimate reward.

Not sure exactly what you are stirred up about...that the response I gave is the most often repeated response I have heard from Mormons or that I think it an amazing rational to get around scripture?

I'm not "stirred up", just pointing out to you that Mormons and Christians believe the same thing about heaven. The only difference is that Mormons will be married and have eternal progeny. In turn, Christians will be ministering angels and will have no increase. Christians will be servants of God and the married Mormons, who will be celestial beings and creating spirit children for the next world to be populated.

God's judgements are righteous. Those who are unwilling to do all that God asks receive a lesser reward because they are less intelligent than others, who are willing to follow all of God's commands. And interestingly, Christians wilil receive exactly the salvation they are seeking.

I think you make it up as you go along, lol.
