[DanielLongo]

Matt. 19: 28
28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Why don’t you chew on that for a while.

[Greg F]

The common Christian view of the 12 thrones, in Matt 19:28, I believe, is that the apostles and saints will be rulers of some type in heaven. In this case "judging" is a term like Judges in ancient Israel.

John 5:22-23 'For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgement unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father."

You place judgment and salvation in the hands of a man. That is bad enough. But couldn't you have picked George Washington or someone halfway decent rather than Joseph Smith? I'm being tongue in cheek since the blasphemy is the same either way. But in all seriousness, the lies, womanizing and pride in the history of Smith should be a big red flag to you spiritually . . . "danger, stay away, false, beware."
