Does the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible conflict with the Book of Mormon?

When I was a teen in Seminary, I remember my teacher saying that the Song of Solomon wasn't supposed to be there, and was left out of Joseph's version of the Bible.

Pinpointing specifics would have been much too easy for bible scholars to prove Smith wrong. He didn't dare paint himself into a corner, knowing he didn't have the smarts to wiggle out of. He may have been a megalomanic, but it never prevented Smith from being sly as a fox.

So much more convenient to "suggest" the ENTIRE bible was questionably translated, yet never point out any actual problem verses. Such a broad suggestion conveniently paved the way for greater book sales of his future "Joseph Smith Translation" of the bible.... Which he never finished despite proclaiming he had been divinely ordered to "restore the truth to the Word of God". Apparently "translating" work lost its magic.... once Smith officially founded LDS polygamy.

Oops.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
