From Desert News Newspaper:

“Steve Christensen and Kathy Sheets were Hofmann’s most tragic victims. But Hofmann also had three other financial victims: the LDS Church, which owns 446 Hofmann forgeries and whose history was challenged by some of Hofmann’s more damaging distortions; coin and document dealer Al Rust; and Provo document collector Brent Ashworth.”

How did the LDS church get 446 Hofmann forgeries without buying them? If the modern prophets have discernment wouldn’t they know the forgery of something directly related to their doctrines? And . . . why do you put your faith in a fallible man in light of this?

Christ is your savior and judge. Not Smith, and not Hinckley, who are false and stumbling blocks for you. The Bible is infallible, not Smith or Hinckley. You are trusting your soul, and the souls of those you lead down this road, to false men.

You still are refusing to address the fact that received revelation does not speak in terms of the language of a fortune teller!

You are listening to the worng phone line!:)

But Hofmann also had three other financial victims: the LDS Church, which owns 446 Hofmann forgeries and whose history was challenged by some of Hofmann's more damaging distortions; coin and document dealer Al Rust; and Provo document collector Brent Ashworth. Ashworth, who says he lost his retirement — about $400,000 — to Hofmann, is a self-deprecating attorney with a passion for old papers. He has walls and file cabinets full of Mormon and Americana documents. He used to have a much bigger collection — an original copy of the 13th Amendment, a handwritten letter written by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War — but he traded these and more to Hofmann for early LDS documents that turned out to be bogus.

Apparently they were procured by these individuals. There are no statements that the Church spent money on them or any figure as to that assumption. The article you posted yourself said that Hoffman was unable to complete such a transaction. The Church owns many things, particularly of historic value, that were donated or given, that the Church never paid for.

You'll have to answer for yourselves...
