John, I wouldn't be surprised if you viewed them differently. After all, you say you don't even use the Inspired Version. That right there indicates that you have a very, very different view of the Restoration scriptures than I do.

Do you ever use the Book of Mormon?

I got the impression that the CofC wants to pretend that the Book of Mormon and the Inspired Version don't exist, or that they are like Wycliff's bible and have become obsolete.

One of the priests who had been silenced and run off from Fairbanks, Tx branch told me that before he had been silenced, he had been instructed as part of a group not to mention the Book of Mormon to anybody who didn't actually belong to the church already. And this was in 1986, right before the Book of Mormon stopped being the foundation of the restored church, and became "auxilliary scripture" kept in the trunk unless someone needed to fix whatever historic Biblical doctrine that the liberals considered flat.
