If the Book of Mormon is the “most correct book ever written,” why were there more than 3,900 changes between the first few editions, many quite significant?

For example, the first Book of Mormon references King Benjamin on p.200.4 Later on, the name is changed to Mosiah.

The names are not even remotely similar!

I answered this several days ago, are you not reading our post?

I seem to remember you trying to get out of the errors by saying they were grammer or syntax problems, or something like that.

but, we are not talking just about that, but names, people, etc.

God apparently dictated ( in the English of joes' day ) the bom word by word, letter by letter. joe proofread the transcripts and approved them for publication.

I see a number of maybes and perhaps in your comment. "gives the argument", "may have been", "may have had".

Sorry, this does NOT offer any excuse for the clear mistake GOD apparently made.

joe did NOT translate a language. GOD did. remember, the stone in the hat, the English words appeared supernaturally?
