August 18 — Millennial Star, No. 8, Vol. 26, February 20, 1864, pp. 118-119 “I met with the twelve at brother Joseph’s. He conversed with us in a familiar manner on a variety of subjects, and explained to us the Urim and Thummim which he found with the plates, called in the Book of Mormon the Interpreters. He said that every man who lived on the earth was entitled to a seer stone, and should have one, but they are kept from them in consequence of their wickedness and most of those who do find one make an evil use of it; he showed us his seer stone.” – Brigham Young

2 Thess. 2:9-11 “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.”

Joseph Smith and Brigham Young contradicted themselves so much it could make your head swim. If mankind was kept from having their own seer stones (Urim and Thummim) because of unrighteousness then why is it only the prophet of the Church can receive direct revelations from God? See D&C 43:2-7.
Mormons will tell you they’re all entitled to revelation from the Lord but you’re also deemed an apostate if you receive a revelation from God telling you that something’s amiss in Church leadership – so which is it?
Is that too much of a revelation?
Furthermore, if a regular member of the Church went to his bishop and shared that he was using seer stones to receive directions from God he’d be told this is impossible because they were taken back to heaven with the gold plates. Doctrines of Salvation 3:222-226.
The Church also says they have no record of any seer stones after Joseph Smith but that contradicts earlier testimony from the prophet Wilford Woodruff who said they were dedicated on the altar at the Manti Temple and is now in possession of the Church. Comprehensive History of the Church 6:230
This still leaves us in another quandary. How does a Mormon today receive a revelation from God without listening to his emotions or just following along with the next new teaching of the leaders?
Are they unrighteous because they don’t have their own seer stones?
We’re praying that Mormons will have a personal revelation and ditch Joseph’s witchcraft for true salvation in Christ Jesus and Him crucified!

“He said that every man who lived on the earth was entitled to a seer stone”…did you get yours? Because I never got mine.
If God sent the urim and thummim with the gold plates, why would he go against God and use a seer stone instead?
