37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me.

So God the Father is the ultimate witness of Christ. The Holy Ghost bears witness of the divinity of Christ.


46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?


Mormons claim Joseph Smith is a prophet of Christ.

There are human witnesses for and against whether he was a Prophet or not. The test of whether he was a prophet would be if God really did call him to be one and then witnessed that he was a chosen prophet like Moses was.
I believe God did call Joseph Smith as a Prophet.

God the Father is no witness to Joseph Smith's testimony.

There have been no mighty works like those following the ministries of Jesus, Moses, Noah, Isaiah, Elijah, Elisha, John, Peter, Paul, etc.

Moses didn't write about Joseph Smith ... nobody did.

And my point is that Joseph Smith needs to held to the same standard as any Biblical prophet. There were many false prophets in Biblical days too.

The definitve test given in the scriptures is that the prophecies of any so-called prophet must come to pass.

God, Himself, said that if anyone claims to be a prophet, ... and those things that he says don't come to pass, ... do not listen to him ... for he is a false prophet.
