My experience with mormonISM goes back to 1962 and I can tell you for certainty it is false.
What you feel in your bosom is not from God Almighty.
Joesph Smith was a liar, a pedophile a con man, a liar, a supporter of treason, and adulator....among other crimes.
If you choose to follow his “revelations” it is on you but do not compare what this hideous man says to God Almighty - it is disgusting and blasphemy.
Following JS to mythical godhood, it is your choice, but be aware it is not of God.
Even demons know the Word of God.......it doesn’t make them Saved.

S “My experience with mormonISM goes back to 1962 and I can tell you for certainty it is false.”
And I should take your word over Gods because...

S “What you feel in your bosom is not from God Almighty.”
Some times it is, and some times it’s pepperoni pizza, luckily, I am not just relying on a feeling, my witness from God was very specific and very clear.

S “Joesph Smith was a liar, a pedophile a con man, a liar, a supporter of treason, and adulator....among other crimes.”
You sound like an Obama ad about Mitt...

S “If you choose to follow his “revelations” it is on you but do not compare what this hideous man says to God Almighty - it is disgusting and blasphemy.”
You know, today, people seem to think God picks men who are unimpeachable as prophets.

Moses was a former prince of Egypt who owned slaves, killed a man in anger, became a fugative, married a descendant of Ishmael, was a polygamist, took credit for a miracle and was kept from the promised land as punishment. Hosea’s wife was a prostitute, Jonah ran away when called, repented, went preached repentance or destruction then was mad when the people repented, Eli let his son’s rule his household and pervert the ways of God to the point that they took the Ark out into battle with out being instructed to and lost it, but his word was honored to Samuel’s mother!

Prophets are not perfect men. there was only one perfect man, Jesus.

IMHO, Joseph Smith was uneducated, a braggart, bold, brash, impatient, and had poor judgement in many things, he was quick to take action before planning, but I cannot deny that he was a prophet of God.

S “Following JS to mythical godhood, it is your choice, but be aware it is not of God. Even demons know the Word of God.......it doesn’t make them Saved.”

I am not following Joseph but direction from God.

First John 4:1-3 http://scriptures.lds.org/en/1_jn/4/1-3#1 Says:
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

The response to my prayer was specific, and contained not only a testimony of the Book of Mormon, but a testimony that the Book of Mormon is the second testament of Jesus Christ and that Jesus was my Lord and Savior.

The Bible tells me that God answers prayers.
The Bible tells me my answer Came from God. (Satan can’t/won’t testify of Jesus)
The Book of Mormon and the Bible agree as much as possible (the Bible is self contradictory on some points) and where they don’t agree, the Book of Mormon is correct because God said so.

Prayer, it could save your eternal life, know how to use it!

Delph
