Both founded new religions by creating their own scriptures. It literally begins with the first bullet point and continues. For example Joseph Smith did not claim to start a new religion nor create his own scripture. I speak only for Joseph not for the other individual being compared to Joseph. As one can plainly see, the first bullet point was NOT a quote from JS, but an accurate picture of what History has passed down to us. In like manner, Joseph Smith was told that all of Christianity had become corrupt, and that consequently the Bible itself was no longer reliable. Same problems with bullet point 2. I quote: Joseph Smith was told that all of Christianity had become corrupt, and that consequently the Bible itself was no longer reliable. Joseph was told no such thing. So, JS just came up with this on his own? And the falsehoods continue. Show them.

Show them.
I have already, and as usual even a direct quote appears to be inadequate.
19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
I guess personage didn’t carry enough weight. Much less the doctrinal equality of the Book of Mormon with the Holy Bible.
