Can’t rightly blame the BoM though - as it fairly states what the bible already mentions.
Amen to that!
But back to the Christian conundrum of Prophets and Apostles. We’ve had this discussion before. You are forced by your problems with the Prophet Joseph to deny future Prophets as a necessity or be caught in your web of deceit.
In some cases those might even be Book of Mormon Prophets but since you reject Joseph and the Book of Mormon you have a real problem. There are not going to be Prophets speaking for the True and Living God, other than the ones established in the Church that bears the name of the Son of God or promoting principles contained therein.
There are millions that have passed into the eternities that could be Prophets to this generation if needed, and they might be unrelated to the LDS Church, but their principles would not vary from the Word of God either Bible or Book of Mormon.
As the Good Book says, there is nothing new under the Sun. Joseph is the Prophet of this dispensation of time, or God is a liar and has stopped talking to man through prophets because no one other than Joseph Smith has made the claim.
Despite the claims of those who just can’t seem to get past their latter day influencers who will go to any lengths to tell their proponents the exact opposite of what was known thousands of years ago by Prophets who bore testimony to the things God told them about these latter days.
All to be found in the Book of Mormon and the Bible for all to read if they so choose.
While...
You are forced by your belief in Joseph Smith to accept future Prophets as a necessity or be caught in his 'correction' of Christianity.
Reagan is getting tired of saying, "There you go again."
Oh?
Why don't you believe Mohammed?
1 On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets.
2 But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.
