You have the Bible as your guide. Maybe some preacher or priest since 400AD has had a revelation you can draw upon.

Genesis 3:1a

"Did God really say, `You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"

[Gamecock]

"Look, maybe us Mormons do believe in crazy stories that make absolutely no sense. And maybe Joseph Smith did make it all up. But I have a great life and a great family and I have the Book of Mormon to thank for that. The truth is, I don’t care if Joseph Smith made it all up. Because what the church teaches now is loving your family, being nice and helping people. And even though people in this town might think that’s stupid, I still choose to believe in it."

Is this a common Mormon philosopy?

Christians would look at Scripture and say if we are wrong let the world pity us!

1Corinth 15:16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

It amazes me how they so revere Joe Smith, yet pick and choose his words and actions to match whatever the current fad or argument is.

Either he was a true prophet of God or he wasn't, either everything he reports being told by God himself is true or none of it can be. The first thing that comes to mind is Polygamy, and given harry Reid's bill, I think we know how that stands in today's "church".

If prophet Smith was wrong about that, how can he be correct on anything else?

[ejonesie22]

I stand rebuked...

LOL...

[ejonesie22]

Well the past leaders are only correct when we need them to be.

[ejonesie22]

Irony, it is so ironic...

With Joe's fictional-treasure digging history using a divination peepstone (which he thought so highly of, he used it to ‘translate’ the BM dug up from the hill 'Gomorrah'), perhaps the BM geography classes are in the ‘second’ basement from whence will come ‘the second resurrection’ before standing in front of the Great White Throne of Judgment.

It CAN'T be the Church - must be all of those GENTILES that are living there: 47%

Real simple concept here F - that of contradictions and not just different versions.
++++++++++++++++
Show me the contradictions from the accounts written by Br. Joseph, not the second hand ones.

Then show me the contractions from Paul's firsthand accounts.

[fproy2222]

(broyher Joseph's First vision) , was it in the woods or his bedroom,

+++++++++++++++++

Since you think that two difference visitations are the same vision, you show a lack, of knowledge of what really happened.

Was this because you followed what someone else said and did not study it yourself?
