I think that there is much wisdom in the bible (the unadultered version), as in this example referring to food (and consciousness, saying that as a result one should find "hidden treasures";
4.Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation.
5.That in as much as any man drinketh wine or strong drink among you, behold it is not good, neither meet in the sight of your Father, only in assembling yourselves together to offer up your sacraments before him.
6.And, behold, this should be wine, yea, pure wine of the grape of the vine, of your own make.
7.And, again, strong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies.
8.And again, tobacco is not for the body, neither for the belly, and is not good for man but is an herb for bruises and all sick cattle, to be used with judgment and skill.
9.And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly.
10.And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man.
11.Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; and these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.
12.Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
13.And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.
14.All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
15.And these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.
16.All grain is good for the food of man; as also the fruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground
17.Nevertheless, wheat for man and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field and barley for all useful animals and for mild drinks, as also other grain.
18.And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and marrow to their bones;
19.And shall find wisdom and great treasure knowledge, even hidden treasures;
20.And shall run and not be weary, and shall not faint.
21.And I, the Lord give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel and not slay them. Amen
--------------------------------
However, I cannot accept the idea that ones die and then go to heaven in the sky, because I know that this earth IS heaven, people just don't know it because of too much Babylon indoctrination.
Paradise is not some mythical place in the clouds; I say it exists inside you.
Many alterations like this, make modern day bibles, IMHO, often brainwashing, keeping victims of Babylon hopeful for "the pie in the sky when they die"
All the best,
