Why would a faith use Smith and say he was persecuted?

When I think of the strong men of the Bible, they had strength of conviction, powerful reasoning skills, leadership abilities, and a spirit of guidance. They stumbled, but carried on. Some reached their goals, others did not. But all of them were looking to God to guide them. And if they failed, they didn’t blame Him. It is a give-and-take relationship. And we are blessed by their examples.

Painting Smith into a hole where the entire state was out to get him, makes him look impotent.

Really? I thought the effort to paint him a a womanizing wife stealer was just the opposite. (lol)

There is truth and perspective, truth just is. Perspective can be manipulated. Are you saying there was no extermination order? If there was, then the whole state was “Out to get him”

I wouldn’t follow such a weak person. Why others do is beyond me. Were they so lost that they couldn’t see the danger?

So to you, strength is crushing your opposition in the here and now? His opponents thought killing Joseph Smith would destroy Mormonism. They were wrong.

Jesus Christ was murdered on the cross by politicians, lawyers and religious leaders who thought killing him would destroy his religion, the were wrong.

would you follow such a weak person?

It is so easy to twist words, the truth however, does not twist and those who deny it will discover, like Saul that it is hard to kick against the pricks.

To call Jesus weak, and to lable him as a person, shows how far you have fallen from the mark. I really have nothing else to say to you, now.
