God gives us all, good and bad. Are you familiar with the book of Job?

Yes, I am. Funny how you are willing to forgive anyone except for Joseph Smith. Isn't he also a candidate for the grace of Jesus Christ? You keep saying that you cannot imagine a church or religion that excommunicates anyone, that is up to Christ, yet the same concession is not given to Joseph Smith or Brigham Young or others.

Excommunication is a man-mad doctrine. Jesus didn't turn out anyone. He ate with the whores, fishermen and tax collectors. I would assume he would also sup with Joseph Smith, Brigham Young or Gordon B. Hinckley. But He never told us that these men were the only spokesman for Him in all things during their dispensation either. That teaching is unbiblical.

The Bible warns us about false Prophets. We are to judge them according to scripture (and not scripture that they pull out of a hat either). These men do not fit. It is as simple as that. I don't judge them based upon their sin or lack of sin. I base my judgement on the word of God, and so should you.
