[Faith-talk] My Take

Mon May 2 03:02:44 UTC 2011

Linda,
  If you want to talk about the Book of Mormon, please email me
off-list.  Most of those revisions have been gramatical-punctuation,
commas, and the like.  A few things have been added to clarify what
was already there-which, given our belief of moddern revelation, isn't
really unusual.  And, yes, there have been a few changes to clarify
the meaning of the original text...if anyone has any questions about
this, feel free to email me off-list.  I've had quite enough public
controversy for a while.  :)  Also, as has been pointed out
previously, there are verses in the Bible to support the view that
Christ's gospel can be accepted after death-a lot of Christians, not
just Mormons, hold to that view.
  God bless,
Kirt
