Do you see through a glass darkly, or a glass clearly?

Do you see through a glass darkly, or a glass clearly?

And you since you asked me this question twice, allow me to add an analogy.

The bad-news people, the Mainstream Press, often sees (at best) through a glass/mirror darkly. They just don't have the entire story.

But that doesn't stop us from (a) posting their articles here; or (b) believing at least portions of what they write as true.

Just because the MSM doesn't have the entire scoop doesn't make everything they report to be untrustworthy [well, let me qualify that by saying just because a number of journalists who are part of the MSM don't have the entire scoop doesn't make everything they report to be untrustworthy :() ]

Anyway, if that's true of even the MSM, then ya gotta concede that Evangelicals have it better than them, right?

And yet, what does LDS Scripture say: That all of our creeds are an "abomination" before God (Joseph Smith 2:18). Something's gotta give. Either Joseph Smith was wrong there, which means his first vision wasn't as he described (he put out 7 different versions of the First Vision); or, all of our creeds are sewage in God's eyes.

Which is it? Why do LDS daintily try to tip-toe around calling us corrupt practioners of used toilet-water creeds?

Joseph Smith hasn't afforded you that option.
