There are ZERO manuscripts that support his change and thousands that support the KJV and other translators. This is a deliberate change to promote works salvation. And additional evidence that Joseph Smith was a false prophet.

This is not a translation.
If God inspired the original author and man stepped in and made mistakes or distorted it for his own agenda then it would be in error of the pure intent. Through inspiration Joseph Smith tied to bring it back the original intent

All the evidence is against you.
Joseph Smith is the same guy that fraudulently transformed a funery notice into a book from Abraham.

You believe the bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly. What you are posting isn't an issue of translation. You aren't saying that the translators got it wrong, but that Paul got it wrong. Care to explain?

That is your opinion of what it says. If we are speaking the facsimile your wrong if you are referring to the fragment found at the New York museum then your talking apples and oranges.

He used direct revelation from God.
There had to be something to translate, though. The LDS claim isn't that the autographa is wrong, but that it's translated incorrectly at some points.

Nobody has the original autograph.

The oldest NT documents that we have are still a few generations removed from the original apostles.

I didn't say originals. But Steve started another thread on this. No need to have duplicate discussions.
