Your premise that the Gospels were written by the "original prophets" is wrong.

It's not MY premise, it's Joseph Smith's.

And AoF DOES state, "insofar as it (the Bible) is translated correctly."

Now you've contradicted yourself. The AoF says that the Bible is the "word of God" insofar as it is "translated correctly" but before that you said that the gospels weren't written by prophets of God so if they were never the words of God to begin with, how can the AoF be correct in it's claim that the Bible was the word of God before it was corrupted through mistranslations?

Joseph never claimed to be perfect in his revelations.

Joseph Smith said there was no error in the things he had taught.

In fact, he had no problem with going back and improving upon them or correcting them later. Several D&C sections today were actually compiled together from more than one revelation, or were later corrected with new information.

Joseph Smith said his revelations came from God. Are you saying that man can actually improve the words of God?

So, let's take your straw man and give him a rest. You can discuss issues, but let's not make liars out of "prophets" who may not have even written the books.

Didn't Joseph Smith write the Joseph Smith History in the Pearl of Great Price? Didn't he write the Doctrine and Covenants? Didn't Nephi write the first and second book of Nephi?
