Mississippi Farm Boy Claims a Revelation from God: LDS Church is Apostate.

Mormonism

Here’s a great question from Jessica over at I Love Mormons:

I have a hypothetical scenario I want to run by you. What would happen if a 14-yr-old LDS kid from Mississippi suddenly showed up on the scene claiming he had received personal revelation from God that the LDS church became apostate after the death of Joseph Smith? This young boy (we’ll call him Joe) claims God revealed to him that the King Follett Discourse never happened the way the history books have it. Rather, after the death of Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and others changed many historical documents to try to make it appear like Joseph Smith taught polygamy and polytheism. Joe says Joseph Smith never believed in a plurality of gods; rather, he believed in and taught the Trinity as evidenced by the Book of Mormon. Joe claims Brigham Young edited the D&C and PofGP to add the teachings on polygamy and plurality of gods. Joe starts admonishing LDS that God views the current teachings of the modern-day LDS church as an abomination.

Question: How would you decide whether the 14-yr-old was trustworthy and believable?

  1. That is a very interesting question. Maybe the next time I see family members on my dad’s side that are Mormon I’ll have to ask that question.

    I couldn’t read all the quotes because it seemed like the Mormon defenders attacked anyone who brought up questions or injected their thoughts about the One True God and how Christians read the Bible. Sad sad sad.

    I am still thankful I never converted to Mormonism when I attended a Mormon service with my uncles and aunts and cousins. There is so much that is wrong with that belief system it isn’t even funny.

  2. redneckliber,

    Why wouldn’t you tell them to check with the Bible first, and then they would realize the LDS faith was a fraud to begin with, so anyone claiming more revelation by God about the LDS would have to be just as fraudulent!
