Joseph Smith was not the author of D&C 132
The prophet Joseph Smith claimed he was not the author of D&C section 132
Corrections: At 20:31 I mistakenly said "William Marks" when I meant "William Law." At 14:31 I indicated the Church removed a document from their website. I have since learned the document was moved to a different (seemingly more obscure) location.

How not to fake a revelation
มุมมอง 8Kปีที่แล้ว
The LDS Church claims that the source manuscript for Doctrine and Covenants section 132 was created by one person, Joseph C. Kingsbury. Evidence presented in this video indicates that two different people participated in the creation of the document. This exposes yet another lie told by Brigham Young to inaccurately implicate Joseph Smith in the immoral practice of plural marriage. Edit added 7...
Martha Brotherton Affidavit and the "Happiness Letter"
มุมมอง 8Kปีที่แล้ว
Troubling accusations against the Prophet Joseph Smith were made by a young convert to the Church named Martha Brotherton, and in a letter attributed by the Church to Joseph, referred to as the "Happiness Letter." Both are employed in an attempt to implicate Joseph in the practice of plural marriage. This presentation lays out what I think are the most likely explanations defending Joseph again...

    I appreciate all the work and research you do to bring truth forward for us to understand. Thank you! Talk about the "good ol' boys" club, which is still apparent today. Even in the church today, the leaders lie. I don't think they even know what is truth. For example, temporary commandments? Teaching spiritual experiences like of old don't happen anymore. Saying old scriptures are not important anymore and only believe the current prophet, even over Christ's words. This information you've provided shows the appalling dishonesty of JFS and others who apparently blindly, or willingly, followed him. Obviously, there was no belief in guiding the church by the spirit. So, the church was already corrupted, and it's terrible how JFS blamed the prophet Joseph Smith. Who did these men follow? Who is the father of all lies?

    Oh, Brigham changed so much of the gospel and took it over that today's church is nothing of what Joseph was restoring. And the leaders today keep changing stuff. It makes me sick at how members worship Brigham and today's prophets, and drag Joseph's name thru the mud. The word of wisdom and paying tithing were not requirements to enter the temple. Now members are forced to pay the church for the club card to enter the temple. The word of wisdom was just advice. Temple clothing and temple doings have been changed. Temple clothing was originally just worn in the temple. Look at the changes made recently in the temple ceremony. God is unchangable, so why are these changes happening? The tithing rule has made the church rich and dishonest. Greed does currupt. The word of wisdom is just another rule enstalled to control members.

    I was appalled when I learned the church charges interest on these loans and that the folks have to pay them back. I always thought it was a fund to help, not enslave. It's criminal. The church can afford to give loans without requiring repayment. And don't get me started on the church telling the poor to pay tithing before feeding their families.

    The problem with Joseph relating marriage sealing to baptisms for the dead, is that the Book of Mormon teaches all work for the dead is a dead work and a mockery before Christ the author and finisher of our faith. So even if Joseph didn’t receive Revelation 132 this Revelation and other Revelations stand in opposition to the BOM and the gospel message, doctrine of Christ. The law of the D&C is what superseded the gospel and Christ Doctrine way back 1834-35. We did the same thing the Jew where said to have done in the Book of Mormon, we despised the words of plainness and looked beyond the mark, sought for things we couldn’t understand.

There are letters, journals, disries, affidavits, testimonies, and church sealing records!!! The church historians have access to these sealing records, s,o of course, in the church essay, they will state s lit if facts about Joseph's polygamy!

    The sealing statements are not of Joseph... it would fight against the teachings in the Book of Mormon. Mosiah 5:15... there are save only two churches... .. Matthew 19: 29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. Also... Elijah was about calling people to repentance... not seal people to people.... Christ is the only one we should want to be sealed to... In Helaman we see Nephi also received this sealing power for calling people to repentance... not sealing people to people... in Alma 34:35 we see that the devil is the other way to be sealed.... the false teaching of sealing people to people is actually using satan's power to seal you his.....

    Careful mate. The Mormon church is literally a mafia. The stake presidents and bishops are fully unaware of the presence of a well armed and trained “shadow hierarchy”. The same “police force” that Brigham used to dispatch his enemies is still very much alive and active. I left the church over 15 years ago because I saw some of the inconsistencies that the church was doing that conflicted with the gospel. I have seen the underbelly, behind the curtain if you will. They are everywhere when you go to temple square or the conference center in salt lake but you will never notice them because they are trained to blend in and become part of the background noise of life. You might think me crazy for claiming the organization that committed the atrocity of Mountain Meadow Massacre is alive and well and is actually thriving within the confines of the modern day Mormon church, it sounds crazy to me as well but I’ve seen and experienced it, and it’s there. Just be careful, this video needs to be shown to every member and prospective member so they can make an informed decision but the church won’t like it and you can be erased unfortunately.

In fact, the only time it's mentioned is to warn against it and how it's the work of the devil. There is no such teaching as 132. That section shouldn't even be anywhere near doctrine of God. It's against everything he taught and makes him a liar. So grateful for your work
