For Mormons and Ex-Mormons. Or anyone that can shed light on this situation?

You got an old and tired argument here. Any book that is continually published will have corrections in grammar, punctuation and spelling, but that is not the point here. The doctrine in the Book of Mormon is the most correct of any book, just as Joseph taught. Here is the difference between the Book of Mormon and the Bible. The Book of Mormon was translated directly and subsequently published. Changes since then are mainly grammatical. The Bible was put together by a committee who decided which books to include. These books had been translated and transcribed many times by then. Here's what it all really comes down to. I have a witness of the Book of Mormon through the Holy Spirit, and that's all I really need.
