You are partly right. The Jews that knew him in that era as the Messiah called him that. To me that is just another great thing about the universality of it. If JS was making all this up, after translating the Book of Mormon and all the references to Jesus in there, do you honestly think he would have forgotten to have John the Baptist call Jesus Jesus. He didn't. John knew him as Messiah.

Doctrine and Covenants 13:1
Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I confer the Priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness.

Um, seven, the Doctrine and Covenants is not the Book of Mormon.

The Doctrine and Covenants were written by Joseph Smith, and aren't even pretend messages from past.

I'll give you the last word here, because frankly I'm tired of this dialogue. It doesn't have anything to do with Mitt.

But thanks for taking the time to explore, I do appreciate it.
