Mormons will be judged on their presumptions to craft writings equal to the Holy Writ, but Joe Smith had the problem from the very beginning. There's not much new in that regard.

Deut 18:21 KJV "When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."

Among the many things Joe Smith prophesied falsely was his claim that Christ's return would be when he would be 85 years old, which would've been 1890. But in fact, Joe Smith died at age 39 in Carthage, Illinois.

"I prophesy in the name of the Lord God, and let it be written--the Son of Man will not come in the clouds of Heaven till I am eighty-five year old." E.F. Parry, LDS, Joseph Smith's Teachings, p.86. Cf., Church Chronology, p. 22.

"...Joe Smith died at age 39 in Carthage, Illinois."Let's not be shy, Joseph Smith was murdered, lynched, he didn't just die.

What kind of people does Mormonism produce? In my experience, overall, Mormons are better people than your average person.

How am I wrong?
