Let's first get to a point using something we both agree is authentic and not some contrived drivel written by someone who claimed to be a prophet of God and yet failed at his basic prophecies...You do know a true prophet of God has to at least show his prophecies to be true?
"Hearken, O ye elders of my church, saith the Lord your God, who have assembled yourselves together, according to my commandments, in this land, which is the land of Missouri, which is the land I have appointed and consecrated for the gathering of the saints. Wherefore, this is the land of promise, and the place for the city of Zion. And thus saith the Lord your God, if you will receive wisdom here is wisdom. Behold, the place which is now called Independence is the center place; and a spot for the temple is lying westward, upon a lot which is not far from the court-house."
Doctrine and Covenants, Section 57:1-3 Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, in Zion, Jackson County, Missouri, July, 1831.
Where's that temple going up again ole Joe?
What's amazing is he had the audacity to repeat this so-called prophecy in 1832 and again in 1833!
I'm sorry three strikes, and you're out!Believe me, there are many things he said and wrote that have have never come true not even by the slightest imaginations...Now if you believe that he was a true prophet of God then you can not believe God has a standard for true prophets.
But even at that it ain't over yet. Just because things haven't happened according to your time table means very little.
