"... no man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith ..."

Not sure how it should be read. The meaning I get from the quote says that I need the consent of Joseph Smith. If that is not correct then how should I be reading the quote.

And I do ask in all sincerity.

It seems to me that some are trying to portray it as Joseph replacing God as our judge.

Having Joseph's consent doesn't mean you get into heaven, that is just ONE thing that God will look at, but not having it will be enough to keep you out however. As I said before, if you reject God's prophets, you reject God. Joseph is not our god, judge, advocate, or savior.
