From false prophecies to lying about his polygamous activities, there’s a lot to learn when it comes to this man. We have two main objectives when it comes to Smith.
1. Expose the lies.
2. Ask Mormons why they have such a strong affinity for this man.
We’re not here to bash Mormons or even Joseph Smith. As a Christian I’m directed by God not to judge Smith’s heart because only the Lord can do that. We are however taught in His word to expose lies. If Smith died as he lived then it’d be safe to say he probably didn’t make it to heaven. If in those last few moments of his violent death he totally changed his mind and repented, then…
To borrow the phrase of many Mormons; “I’ll find out when I get there (meaning heaven)”.
You’ll find info on historical events in Smith’s life from the time he was a young boy to the day he died in a gunfight while awaiting trial in the Carthage Jail. We’ve also collected analyses of how the Church has regarded him since his death.
