Then along comes Joseph Smith who gets the really true stuff.

A living prophet can give the correct context and expound on the doctrine to reveal more as God wills it.

You are relying on your own interpretations of ancient text and refuse to except that there might be more. Unfortunately you won't understand what this really means until you either leave this life or faced with the events just prior to the second coming.

Imagine the Lord saying the following:

"Know ye not that there are more nations than one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?"

"Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation like unto another? Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another. And when the two nations shall run together the testimony of the two nations shall run together also."

"Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible ye need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written."

"For I command all men, both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the words which I speak unto them;"

What part of that could not possibly be true?
