About all there is here worth commenting about is Smith’s “prophet” status. I have prayed at length on several different occasions and G_d each time affirmed that Smith was a spirit of antiChrist - just another one of many.

Condemning Smith, or forgiving him is G_d’s purview - not mine. My job is to recognize a spirit of antiChrist when I encounter one. and not allow myself to be led astray.

The rest of your post(s) are what Godzilla characterized as “one note Johnny” stuff that leaves me slightly bored, same old tired retread apologetics and flawed scholarship...positively amazing that among the volumes and volumes of accounts and testimonies against Smith, nothing is real, nothing is incriminating, nothing is significant enough to detract from the status and stature the LDS powers-that-be want and need him to retain.

You appear intellectually punch-drunk here - I think Godzilla fed you your milk and cookies on the DNA and archaelogy issues one time too many...

One last ode for the night

Ode to a Curelom
by Laura D.

This curious creature called Curelom
was useful and big
and probably strong.
Such mystery surrounds this elusive being
and my mind ponders to understand
without ever seeing
this creature of old
so big and so bold.

Oh faithless, wretched human that I am!
Dear Mormon God help me understand.
Down on my knees
I have fasted and prayed
I’m seeking a sign
still, your answers have stayed.

Dear Joseph Smith, What were you on about?
What is the Curelom
I hear so much about?
I hear they’re delicious
and mighty nutritious.
But, it’s really hard to eat
something fictitious!

positively amazing that among the volumes and volumes of accounts and testimonies against Smith, nothing is real, nothing is incriminating, nothing is significant enough to detract from the status and stature the LDS powers-that-be want and need him to retain

Oh, the "Joseph Smith Papers" will not only AFFIRM all the wonderful stuff about Smith, it will provide DOCUMENTS to prove it....of course, there won't be any documents available proving the bad stuff....they are either locked up in the the LDS vault or have long been destroyed.

The Joseph Smith Papers, another con job brought to you by the Corporation of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

BTW, interesting that the logo of the mormon church used to read, "The Church of Jesus Christ of LATTER-DAY SAINTS", and it has amazingly morphed lately into "The CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints".....how cool is that?

God told me that the Book of Mormon was his word and that Jesus was my savior in the same answer to the same prayer, I have posted my Testimony here.

I have prayed at length on several different occasions and G_d each time affirmed that Smith was a spirit of antiChrist - just another one of many.

I would ask more detailed questions, because I am curious as to what you asked and how you got your answer, but some on this forum think that is an attack.

If you are willing to discuss this, please FM me.

I could not agree more, I feel the same with those who disagree with me about my church, however, they don't leave us alone so...

Again, wonderfully perfectly on target, well said.

I'm sure you understand that there were many who accused Jesus as well...

A witness from God should outweigh all the words of men, at least for me it does.

Really? Well Godzilla's posts can be Dizzying in their length. In my experience he hopes that by posting "Monstrous" (pun intended) posts that no one will respond and thus he will win the debate by sheer volume. This is one of the Definitions of Argumentum ad Baculum , You on the other hand seem to be reasonable and logical in most of your positions.

May God bless and Keep you safe in his paths.

Just out of curiosity AAC, you obviously had faith enough to receive an answer to your prayers as to the veracity of Joseph Smith, what answer did you receive as to who was the true church, & who has he called to lead that church? Certainly the Lord wouldn't answer your prayer re: Joseph Smith, & not answer what church was His.

Just curious, who's got the truth. Please don't tell me it's all of Christianity, the Lord wouldn't be the author of so much confusion. With all the differences of opinion about baptism, faith vs. works, the hereafter, gays & women in the clergy, etc., etc. Surely He told you which was His. Which one?
