***If you are using that yardstick remember the Jews do not recognized the NT nor Jesus as the Savior nor John, Matthew, etc.****

So, God does not protect his “prophets” today? Does he just throw them out there and say “ Now go preach but you are on your own!”

Jesus never had an armed guard to protect him. Neither Paul or Peter. None of the OT prophets had armed guards. God was their protection.
Why did Smith need militias and Danites? Even the mighty arms of men failed to protect him. Was God too weak to protect his “prophet”?

Heck no!!

HE protects them quite well!

To keep from mere blowing off at the mouth, our Living Prophet® (pbuh) has 12 yesmen [oops] The Quorum of Twelve to agree unanimously that what the Prophet hasd said is TRULY 'from the Lord'.
