Didn't you mention knowing them by their fruits?

Smiths fruits were the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and covenants that testify of Jesus.

Me? I responded to claims. Look at the OP.

 It is the one thing which might be a standard by which one can measure Smith's prophetic claims and he fails miserably because his fruits included bearing false witness and adultery.

He bore witness of the resurrected Jesus.

And marital contact of a Biblical nature with a spouse in a polygamist relationship is not a sin in the Bible.

 

 

His fruits were simply not Christ like. However, I agree that he had the ethics and morality of the sons of Eli and of those two prophets in Jeremiah 29. He did not have the ethics and morality of Isaiah.

Smith had more ethics and integrity than Jesus (in creedal trinitarianism) killing innocent women and children in the Old Testament.

 

You still have not given me a Biblical standard for a prophet other than the single one identified by Jesus which is very good.

I responded to a critical list and showed that Smith met the Biblical standard for “prophet.”

 

Neither have you given me a workable definition of adultery which will not condemn Smith as an adulterer. I use the usual definition.

I look to the Bible and see Jesus (in creedal trinitarianism) in the Old Testament killing women and children.

And Polygamy justified. And slavery justified. In the Bible.

Smith? Meets the Biblical standard for “prophet.”

 

Just look at Test 10 for example. There is no reason to think that any of it pertains to Smith.

Numbers 24 pertains to Balaam. Do you really want people to be comparing Smith to him? Well, they did both see an angel with a sword and at least one account has Smith riding his horse when the angel appeared. Is this a joke?

Angels are all over the Bible.

Smith certainly taught things which conflicted what is in the Bible. Marriage of women and their daughters for one.

Smith taught things in-line with the Bible.

Jacob –chosen by God—married sisters.

But pay attention—you are not condemning Smiths marriage to young women. Because its not condemned in the Bible.

You have not given any kind of rational Biblical standard by which one can judge the veracity of a claim to prophetic authority which could apply to Smith other than the one Jesus gave, to know them by their fruits and in this single example, Smith fails.

I responded to a critical list.

And showed that Smith meets the standard for Biblical “prophet.”

“Only prophets who meet all the Levitical rules are Biblical prophets.” Jacob fails. And he is chosen by God. And post-Christ, those old Levitical rules do not apply. They were nailed to a cross.
