I hesitate to say it but we are dealing with Korihor who os looking for a wayt to discredit the Scriptures and he is starting with the weakist link.
The Gospels.
We already have a caveat "as far as they are translated correctly" and so that is the easiest way to get in to start tearing down the record.
We have to have a better understanding the history of the record and that thee are now and were men who not only by accident, but by design
added to and taken away from the records but also many of those records did survive in reasonable condition and Erasmus and others were
able to secure them for our benefit therefore brought together the tool to set the stage for the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ.
But He is saying that the Author is dishonest and it got into the Scripture.
That is a sore that can spread over time to the rest of what God has caused to be written.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness:
We are going no where here but he is intent to show that you cannot trust the Scripture.
God we have seen with even the Pearl of Great Price and in places in the D&C that He will make the Scripture for us today in the way
He wants us to have them in spite of the way they may have been in the so-called "originals".
We have the Scriptures today in the way He wants us to have them today.
If we study and have faith in Him, we can make sense of them.
