“God does not take an unregenerate peepstone conman teenager to be His prophet.”
Thank you for fulfilling prophesy. Joseph Smith said his name would be known for good and for evil. You know his name for evil; I know his name for good.
Any old ass will do, when a person is heading toward their doom. Consider me Balaam’s donkey and yourself to be a sort of Balaam.
No such thing.
His was a self-fulfilling, fallacious prophesy. He knew the intentions of his heart before he uttered those words and that they weren't good intentions.
Plausible deniability for him and his minions.
"See! I prophesied that I would be known for evil!" "That confirms I'm a bonafide prophet!"
