Joseph Smith, the Educator, pg 1; “Of the way he studied the Bible, the latter-day Seer reported: “After I got through translating the Book of Mormon, I took up the Bible and read with the Urim and Thummim. I read the first chapter of Genesis and I saw the things as they were done. I turned over the next and the next, and the whole passed before me like a grand panorama and so on chapter after chapter until I read the whole of it. I saw it all. Then I think of the sectarian priests boasting of what they known. Why I have forgotten a thousand times more than ever they knew.””
Revelation 20:11-12, 15; “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Joseph’s story sounds a little like the revelation God gave to John doesn’t it? He saw all things….
Notice the grandiose story Smith tries to pass off and of course his “vision” wouldn’t be complete without an obligatory jab at the body of Christ. It didn’t matter what Smith said he did it was always better than anyone else and all Christians were always stupid.
