God could, if He so chooses, reveal His will to anyone at any time. Based on many factors, I don't believe that He revealed His will to Joseph Smith through supernatural encounters.

Please clarify?

BTW I don't even know you I have not been rude to you and I did answer a couple of your questions inspite of your sarcasm.

Why can't you discuss this with out getting personal and insulting, trying to undermind me because you did agree? and that goes for Gamecock as well!

OK. I believe all things are possible through God. I also believe that worldly men do what they can to exploit well meaning people by using their hopes against them.

I believe that Joseph Smith was one of those who took advantage of the hopes and dreams of well-intentioned souls. I don't think he did this from some sort of delusion. I think he did it intentionally and with malice. I think those that follow him are following a false prophet, engaged in a cult founded by the greatest con artist of his generation.

I hope I cleared that up for you. You may not like the response, but I haven't sugar-coated it, nor have I hidden my meaning through use of out-of-context scriptural cut-and-paste references and links to nonsensical websites.

Bull. Please see my paragraph immediately preceding the excerpt of your post above.

And, for the record, I wasn't being sarcastic. Your rambling posts and convoluted logic led me to believe that you truly are "not right" as we used to say in my neck of the woods.

I do owe you an apology. I missed in an earlier post where you state you suffer from dyslexia. It has perhaps contributed to your difficulty in writing posts that are understandable.

I see now that you suffer from a disorder that inhibits clear communication, but it is not a psychological one. My snap assumptions on your mental condition (on the basis of your communication skills) were premature.
