Nana, I have never mocked or shown vitriol towards you or your beliefs.
Joseph Smith quoted what he said God in Heavne told him, and it wasn’t about the people themselves, it was about the teachings that had strayed from Christ’s original teachings.
Clearly, you do not believe they had...and that is fine. we simply teach that Christ restored the fullness of His Gospel and His Church to the erth and invite all to come and test the waters. It is entirely up to them and we are taught to respect the beliefs and sincere heartfelt sentiments of others toards our Savior, Jesus Christ, even if they are not LDS.
Not everyone chooses to do that and I have been on record here on FR speaking against that...wherever it comes from.
I personally believe that anyone who sincerely accepts Jesus Christ into their hearts as Lord and Savior is a Christian and will be left standing at the last day.
I believe He will give them the opportunity to know the whole truth...whatever it may be...and that any sincere follower of our Savior, when He testifies of His truth to them and they know it, will follow Him and His teaching.
So, when He appears, I am sure, because I believe you are sincere in your love for Christ, you will do whatever He says, even if He says to go to the Temple.
And for my part, should He tell me to stop or not go there, well then I certainly will not do so, because He is my Savior and Lord and I will follow Him.
That’s how I feel, nana, and how I have been taught to feel towards others, and what I teach at church and anywhere else.

Where did you get that from
Source ???
When did Joey Smith ever say that either of the 2 things that he claims he saw were “God in Heaven” ???
So, when He appears, I am sure, because I believe you are sincere in your love for Christ, you will do whatever He says, even if He says to go to the Temple.

Oh Jeff Ive already been to the Temple...
I was in Jerusalem in 1988...
That is a good theory though since the LORD Jesus Christ is coming back to Israel to rule and reign there...
