Rename The Book Of Mormon - Page 8
I know I said I'd leave this alone. But, I was reading D&C and came to this section, which reminded me of this thread, and decided to share it with you.
I know it does not say anywhere specifically about changing the name of the BoM, but I think it goes along with this topic because, here, there was a discussion among a group of people who thought that the language in which the revelations that Joseph Smith had received, was not the best one to publish them in (or thought another language would be more appropriate).
So, I found it interesting that The Lord told them this: D&C Sec 67
| QUOTE |
| 5 Your eyes have been upon my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., and his language you have known, and his imperfections you have known; and you have sought in your hearts knowledge that you might express beyond his language; this you also know. Â 6 Now, seek ye out of the Book of Commandments, even the least that is among them, and appoint him that is the most wise among you; Â 7 Or, if there be any among you that shall make one alike unto it, then ye are justified in saying that ye do not know that they are true; Â 8 But if ye cannot make one like unto it, ye are under condemnation if ye do not bear record that they are true. Â 9 For ye know that there is no unrighteousness in them, and that which is righteous cometh down from above, from the Father of lights. |
Like I said. I know it does not mention changing the title of the BoM specifically, but I think it applies here, because they were entertaining the idea of changing God's work, based on their own opinion. Some may have thought that it was best, but it was not God's work. It does not matter what was their reasoning to consider that, it was not the way God wanted it done.
Just thought I'd share this. . .

Mormon Book Rename
I think is very disrespectful to entertain the idea of changing the name of this sacred book! Changing the name of the book to one about Christ won't make the book more acceptable to investigators but our example as latter day Saints will.
