If Joe RESTORED "ALL" things then: Why did he not RESTORE the "many Plain & precious" parts of the BIBLE that were supposedly "lost"? What Lost Bible books did he RESTORE?
Why did he not RESTORE the 116 pages that were Lost from the BoM? It could not be as told in DC 10 "if you should bring forth the same words they will say that you have lied and that you have pretended to translate, but that you have contradicted yourself. And, behold, they will publish this, and Satan will harden the hearts of the people to stir them up to anger against you, that they will not believe my words." For the story to be true, it requires that God couldn't tell Smith where the 116 pages were but that God had known all along it was going to happen and had instead made Moroni waste precious plates to include two separate accounts of the same 1st Nephi story. Instead we see a PARANOID HOAXSTER Afraid he had blown the whole scheme! Martin cried, "Oh I have lost my soul!" and Joseph Smith replied, "Oh my God! All is lost! Must I return to my wife with such a tale as this I dare not do it lest I should kill her at once." (Lucy Smith History, 365-365) In light of the above is it not prudent to admit he could not be the "restorer of ALL things"? So God lost his word once and it was FOUND by joe? Joe Lost God's word a second time and even God could not find it? --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > BlainerB: I believe Joseph Smith was the prophet of the restoration > of the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
