If you accept the fullness of the Gospel, acceptance of Smith is a natural consequence.

Why? Especially since the Holy Writ specifically warns us against additions such as thos penned by Smith?

Especially since the Holy Writ specifically warns us against additions such as thos penned by Smith?<> Exactly.

Galations 1:8-9:

"But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."

1 Corinthians 1:23-24: “But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.”

Romans 3:23: “for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Colossians 2:13-14: “And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.”

John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me.”

John 3:3: “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Ephesians 2:8-9: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Acts 16:31: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.”

Romans 10:9: “..If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, THOU SHALT BE SAVED.”

Yes... the last book of the Bible... Which was written before at least one other book of the Bible.. Which was compiled hundreds of years later, and did not exist when the last book was written...

Come, now, Narses, that’s the argument of a neophyte. You cannot have studied these things and think that John was referring to anything outside of Revelation when he wrote that passage.

You know, the scriptures make a lot more sense in context.
