Ron Esplin, manager editor of the Joseph Smith Papers, explains how scholars discovered a revelation giving by Joseph Smith that was previously unknown. Also, he explains how the scholars discovered another unknown document: testimony of the revelations. Both documents were discovered during the work on the Joseph Smith Papers project.

  • @AdamWyson i always find mormons interesting

  • @AdamWyson Do you believe God to be logical?

  • These jokers can explain anything. Faith is a powerful obstacle to critical thinking.

  • @Aldensmawmaw

    Agree!

  • Well, no they haven't failed! Because the church is BIGGER than ever and still going strong! And the Blessings we receive are amazing and full of love from our Heavenly Father for having faith and following his commandments.

  • All of J S's prophesies failed. Don't be deluded.

  • @iqlusionblogspot I'm a strong mormon and that sounds silly to me. God doesn't yank chains...he tests us.

  • When I read about prophecies Joseph Smith made that never materialized, I get the strong impression that God played lots of games with Joseph Smith.

    "Joseph, my beloved son: if X, Y and Z occur, Q will happen very soon." But quietly God is thinking, "Yeah, like X and Y are ever going to happen!"

    Of course, there are simpler explanations for Smith's failed prophecies, but one way you can sustain faith in Joseph Smith is to allow that God yanked Smith's chain pretty often.

  • odd, how none of you question the authenticity of the Koran, or that Mohammed may have been a false prophet. Neither do you seemed concerned that Muslims practice polygamy to this day

  • @scottwins2

    Why do you keep on making statements? Do you suppose that anyone at all will believe you just because you say it? If you have proof for anything give it.

    Enough? Enough of you just spouting off. Prove it or retract. Quote ancient sources from the time if you have them.
