In this first episode of the issues segment, we will discuss the influence of the KJV Bible in the Book of Mormon text. The goal of the issues episodes is to create a compilation of the main problems I have with the dominant narrative of the church and what led me to have a faith transition. I will try to keep these episodes fair and objective but of course my personal bias will influence these to not be faith promoting.
If this is your first time listening to Alternative Mormon, I recommend you go back to the first episode (https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/3sGlLipdjwb) and at a minimum read the description. The first half of that episode also introduces my goals and purposes. Each episode will be named and numbered as follows:
1 - Alternative Thoughts
2 - Faith Transition Interviews
3 - The Issues
4 - Everything from Amulek to Zeezrom
