Mormon Founder: Joseph Smith Jr. - 2 of 5 - Mormonism

http://JosephSmithMormon.com has articles and details about the life of the prophet Joseph Smith.

This is the second of five chapters of flm about the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr. It begins with Joseph Smith's search, as a young boy, for the truth about religion. Determining that God was the only one who could give answers pertaining to His Kingdom of Earth, Joseph Smith Jr. went into the woods and prayed to know which Church he should join. What followed was a literal opening of the Heavens as God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared to the boy Joseph Smith Jr.

Neal A. Maxwell, an apostle in our day stated, "Our Church History sites are small and simple, not unlike the manger."

God works through humble and simple servants and from that moment on (a moment which has been known as the "First Vision") Joseph Smith was led by God and soon called by God as a Prophet to restore the true Church of Jesus Christ upon the earth for, as Jesus Christ himself stated to Joseph Smith in answer to his prayer, all other professors of Christianity had fallen into a state of Apostasy.

We revere him as the prophet of this dispensation. Like, Moses, Noah and Abraham of old. We believe that Joseph Smith was called as a latter-day prophet to restore the Church of Jesus Christ to the earth in its fullness.

Truly, he was a Prophet and I add my testimony to the millions who have humbled themselves and confirmed from God the truth of the Restoration. Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God, an instrument in the hands of our Great Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to lay the foundation of this work and to help bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man through his teachings, revelations, the Book of Mormon and the Priesthood restored for our benefit in our time. Jesus is the Christ, and Joseph was His Prophet.

Joseph Smith is not the founder, he was only a prophet of God, nothing more.
