That’s why revelation (personal and for phrophets) is so important. When men wandered away from the truth, as the church did, and apostasised as it did, the spirit withdrew of revelation was lost.

bring'em young taught as doctrine that Adam was God

He also taught blood atonement as doctrine

Polygamy was called an 'eternal' principle, yet when the gov't was breathing down the prophet's neck, this mormon 'god' gave another revelation - oopsie, my bad.

smith taught that Jehovah was the name of heavenly father - today mormons teach it is Jesus' name. Yet if any would supposedly know what they were talking about, smith who 'communed with Jehovah' would know who he was.

Thats just scratching the surface - how about translating a common pagan prayer scroll into something completely different. How about 'translating' fake plates (admitted by the forger and scientific tests) into another history of the americas? Is the Egyptian God "Min" really heavenly father?

Lots of mormon revelations - lots of error.

What part of a Prophet receiving revelation do you NOT understand?

God commanded Joshua to march around Jericho six times, in complete silence. He did it.
Then God told Joshua to march around Jericho a seventh time, but at the end to have all the Children of Israel to SHOUT. Same God, Same Prophet, Different command.

Joshua did what God commanded each time. Because the seventh time was a different command, was it a False God or False Prophet, or False Command.

Noooooooooo. Circumstances change. Obedience to God is what is important. Knowing who is a Prophet, and who is just a man who weakly changes his mind, and fears man, that’s the test of faith, wisdom and love of God.
