Mormon Doctrine, p 565; “Peep Stones…See DEVIL, REVELATION, URIM AND THUMMIM. In imitation of the true order of heaven whereby seers receive revelations from God through a Urim and Thummim, the devil gives his own revelations to some of his followers through peep stones or crystal balls. An instance of this copying of the true order occurred in the early days of this dispensation. Hiram Page had such a stone and was professing to have revelations for the upbuilding of Zion and the governing of the Church. Oliver Cowdery and some others were wrongly influenced thereby in consequence of which Oliver was commanded by revelation: “Thou shalt take thy brother, Hiram Page, between him and thee alone, and tell him that those things which he hath written from that stone are not of me, and that Satan deceiveth him.” (D. & C. 28:11.)” – Bruce McConkie
Leviticus 19:31; “Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.”
Why is LDS canon looked upon as something from God when it clearly isn’t?
As they say, ‘the proof is in the pudding’, and there’s more than ample evidence of Smith’s less than godly behavior that portrays a man fascinated with the occult and not the Lord.
I highly encourage readers to check out the pages below which are filled with in-depth info on Smith’s activities. His use of divining rods, peep stones, mushrooms (hallucinogenic drugs), and tools used in witchcraft like the Jupiter Talisman are all well documented and worth the read if you want more info.
