For those willing to hear God out, I believe he has effectively, purposefully, intentionally communicated through human language in scripture. The usual backdoor out of that is a postmodern view of truth and knowledge and reading, and that is just a dishonest way to live.

What's gone unanswered here is that Mormons believe Joseph's translation but also believe with the original text of Paul. We do take scripture to be the word of God and don't easily shrug it off.
