after 20 years of studying the church doctrine i came across a few verses that i know are not true. i asked this question on yahooQA and i got the answer that the bom has a disclaimer, it is only translated correctly as far as men can do it. if there are errors it is the fault of humans! which verified for me that the book of mormon is not perfect either.
after a while i began to understand that men who were inspired by God wrote the things they believed were true according to traditions and history as well as according to the miracles and words of God. but the power of translation still came from God according to joseph smith testimony. but what was preserved was also the contentions of doctrines and the proof that people who called thmselves righteous were NOT righteous in deed. so the book of mormon preserves some things that are not true. as well as a Majority of everything else truth. let God reproove me or let him prove this is true.
