S…. Joseph was a prophet of God……that fact alone makes me trust his translation more than one from someone else. Also, do you have the original? How do you know it says something different? I would be as suspicious of that as I would if someone told me they had the original 116 pages of the Book of Mormon…. Satan will do all he can to stop the work of the gospel, including influencing others to make changes to documents to try to discredit Joseph. Ask the Lord to help you know what is true….He will never let you down.

The Scrolls that were translated by JS are not around. We have no idea where they are. There are some scrolls that have been translated in our day that have nothing to do with the P of Gp true. Those are not the same scrolls Joseph translated for the P of Gp. This has been a source of push for the enemies of the church to sway people against it.
We don’t need those scrolls to know if what JS translated is true. You know how to find out, “prayer”. Trust in the arm of God and not the arm of flesh. Only he can guide us for good.

We accept it as scripture because it was recieved through a prophet of God acting on behalf of the Lord. That is enough for me!

From an essay on the matter on lds dot org “Only small fragments of the long papyrus scrolls once in Joseph Smith’s possession exist today.” “The veracity and value of the book of Abraham cannot be settled by scholarly debate concerning the book’s translation and historicity…The truth of the book of Abraham is ultimately found through careful study of its teachings, sincere prayer, and the confirmation of the Spirit.” The essay can be found here https://www.lds.org/topics/translation-and-historicity-of-the-book-of-abraham?lang=eng

So using the Book of Abraham for bible study is confusing to me. If the original document says one thing and Joseph Smith’s translation says something else, then why would we accept it as scripture?

It’s not that Strong’s Concordance is, or is not accepted by the LDS church, it is a tool to aid in studying the Bible, and the meanings of the words in the Bible based on the Greek and Hebrew words. While it can help in understanding the Bible, it cannot replace any of the plain an precious truths which were removed. Neither can it provide the insights brought forth by modern day prophets in understanding the truths in the Bible. This talk by Boyd K. Packer at the October 1982 General Conference might be useful in determining the best way to study and understand the Bible. https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1982/10/scriptures?lang=eng#d
