And behold, this is the thing which I will give unto you for a sign, for verily I say unto you, that when these things which I declare unto you and which I shall declare unto you hereafter of myself, and by the power of the Holy Ghost, which shall be given unto you of the Father, shall be made known unto the Gentiles, that they may know concerning this people, who are a remnant of the house of Jacob, and concerning this my people, who shall be scattered by them; verily, verily I say unto you, when these things shall be made known unto them of the Father, and shall come forth of the Father, from them unto you, for it is wisdom in the Father that they should be established in this land, and be set up as a free people by the power of the Father, that these things might come forth from them unto a remnant of your seed, that the covenant of the Father may be fulfilled which he has covenanted with his people, O house of Israel: therefore, when these works, and the works which shall be wrought among you hereafter, shall come forth from the Gentiles unto your seed, which shall dwindle in unbelief because of iniquity; for thus it behoveth the Father that it should come forth from the Gentiles, that he may show forth his power unto the Gentiles, for this cause, that the Gentiles, if they will not harden their hearts, that they may repent and come unto me, and be baptized in my name, and know of the true points of my doctrine, that they may be numbered among my people, O house of Israel; and when these things come to pass, that thy seed shall begin to know these things, it shall be a sign unto them, that they may know that the work of the Father hath already commenced, unto the fulfilling of the covenant which he hath made unto the people who are of the house of Israel.


And thus did the thirty and eighth year pass away, and also the thirty and ninth, and forty and first, and the forty and second, yea, even until forty and nine years had passed away, and also the fifty and first, and the fifty and second; yea, and even until fifty and nine years had passed away

Story goes that when Joseph Smith sent Hyrum Smith to the printer in Palmyra that each page of the BOM was one word running into the next, no spaces or punctuation between words. The printer in Palmyra had the job of figuring out where the punctuations were to be placed. These are facts that are not hidden from LDS or non-LDS.

Oops...I can hear it already, the ultra libs on this forum will come back with "how can intellegent folks believe in your standards doctrines"

They are sooo predictable.

People believe in what ever they want to believe. There's no Christmas tree in the scriptures and the Bible clearly states "a good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth." so we are never told to celebrate the birth of Christ, let alone with a pine tree with jewelry on it. Still people will do as they please follow what ever fits their agenda, and rebuke what they won't understand.

LDS and the book of Mormon are a phenomenon of religion and man's ability to gravitate to that, which suits his carnal mind.

What is interesting is this, if anyone excepts Joseph Smith as a prophet they must also except polygamy. Nor Joseph Smith or Brigham Young ever abolished polygamy.
