  1. Happy to oblige! This book does contain the complete Joseph Smith version of the bible, from Genesis to Revelation with everything in between. It's a modified King James version seamlessly incorporating all of the same changes that Smith made. There is also an introduction explaining the history of this version of the bible and what sources were used in the CoC edition. This is exactly what I was looking for, as there is no side-by-side comparison thing going on. Although I wrote above that this is the "complete" version of the bible, in truth there are a few exceptions. From the book's introduction: and It should be noted that the Community of Christ's D&C numbering seems to be different than that of the LDS numbering. The three-in-one also includes the Book of Mormon (either RLDS/CoC's 1908 version, or their 1966 "revised" (ie modernized) version, depending on which three-in-one you buy) and the CoC's Doctrine and Covenants (including the sections 22 and 88 mentioned above), along with a Bible Concordance, a Book of Mormon Index, and a complete detailed table of contents for the Doctrine and Covenants, with summaries and dates of revelation. This is the one I bought, containing the 1908 Book of Mormon. The Community of Christ also offers a new-testament-only version of Smith's bible, and they seem to have other versions too. I think your best bet is to call them and explain what you're looking for, they can probably help you out. Having said that, I'm also more than happy to answer any questions you may have about this book - best of luck in your quest!
  2. Dale, I seem to remember reading somewhere that the Community of Christ holds a different view of the Trinity than the church of LDS does. Do you know if the Community of Christ's current view is the same as that of the earlier Kirtland Mormons, or if it's something newer? And can you perhaps explain just what the current view is? Many thanks... !
  3. In my experiences with situations like this, I have learned that the more one becomes a source of the Light, the more the dark takes an interest in you - the more tasty you appear. This may be why people have experiences like this after they've been baptised or are approaching a temple. If you are firm and strong in your rejection of it, it will move elsewhere. One technique that was taught to me was to push it away with one hand held outward, while telling it, "Begone, you have no power over me." Eventually it will get bored and learn you are not a target.
  4. bmras, I have been searching for the same book, a complete Joseph Smith translation of the Bible, without the two-column King James comparison. Last week I ordered the "celebration edition" of the 3-in-1 from Herald House. I had assumed that it would include just such a version of the bible, but after reading your post, I'm no longer so certain! When I receive the book, I'll post a follow-up describing just what's in it.
