March 27 – Joseph Smith Stronger Than Samson? Judges 16:30 tells us about the final act of Samson’s strength the Lord God supplied him with; there’s no question that no one lived as Samson did. “And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life”.

The Book of Mormon is based upon revelations Joseph Smith received from the gold and brass plates the angel Moroni delivered to Smith for translation. Remember, if a revelation disagrees with the Bible, even on the smallest of subjects, this would make it a false prophecy. If Smith’s prophecy is true, how can we trust God?
Ask your Mormon friend if Smith was stronger than Samson.

D&C 24:12 “And at all times, and in all places, he shall open his (Joseph Smith) mouth and declare my gospel as with the voice of a trump, both day and night. And I will give to him strength such as is not known among men”.
Well Joseph Smith would have to be stronger than Sampson. He had to carry the gold plates weighing about 200 lbs for 3 miles running at the top of his speed, and fending off attackers.
