Resty... The ENTIRE "Plan of Salvation" as laid out in mormon doctrine, every single bit of it, was written about by a man named Emmanuel Swedenborg in his
1775 book "A Treatise on Heaven and Hell" Several other simlar revision were released soon thereafter. Public records indicate this book was available at the local library near Joseph Smith's home.
Smith claimed the FLDS/LDS "plan of salvation" was given to him by vision from God.
If you believe this, then do you believe that Swedenborg was also a prophet of God ?

How DARE you to TEMPT a True Child of God with heretical writings as THIS??? Don't you know we MORMONs are STRONGLY encouraged to NOT read things that will cause doubt and unbelief to creep in? Why; the next thing you know we'd start to find things that APPEAR wrong with SLC's teachings, all from listening to what the Natural Man has written. From that small beginning, we may then find fault with past or present leaders of our Organization® and then... APOSTACY!!! --MormonDude(A pox on ALL your houses!)
