Debunked by whom?
Certainly not by my mormon family, who go all the at back to Smith and Young.
This alleged debunking is a new mantra by LDS.

Completely debunked. But I’m sure those of you who bring up statements out of context to try to make Mitt fit that bill already know this but refuse to post these along with the snips of the actual statements about the Constitution hanging by a thread, which will happen.

Here are at least 3, one going back to an official statement clear back in 1918.

In General Conference, October 1918, Joseph F. Smith made the following comments:

The ridiculous story about the “red horse,” and “the black horse,” and “the white horse,” and a lot of trash that has been circulated about and printed and sent around as a great revelation given by the Prophet Joseph Smith, is a matter that was gotten up, I understand, some ten years after the death of the Prophet Joseph Smith, by two of our brethren who put together some broken sentences from the Prophet that they may have heard from time to time, and formulated this so-called revelation out of it, and it was never spoken by the prophet in the manner in which they have put it forth. It is simply false; that is all there is to it.

Elder Bruce R McConkie also commented on the so called “prophecy”:

From time to time, accounts of various supposed visions, revelations, and prophecies are spread forth by and among the Latter-day Saints, who should know better than to believe or spread such false information. One of these false and deceptive documents that has cropped up again and again for over a century is the so-called White Horse Prophecy. This supposed prophecy purports to be a long and detailed account by the Prophet Joseph Smith concerning the wars, turmoils, and difficulties which should exist in the last days.

In 2010 the Church released a statement on the “‘White Horse Prophecy:

“The so-called ‘White Horse Prophecy’ is based on accounts that have not been substantiated by historical research and is not embraced as Church doctrine.”

--------------------

Again, it has been said by LDS Leadership repeatedly that the Constitution will “NOT BE SAVED IN WASHINGTON”.

If you all choose to ignore such statements to fit your agenda, that’s up to you. You will interpret however you see fit. I’ve said my peace. Out.
