Elder Jeffrey R. Holland delivered the best explanation of how The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints deviates from traditional Christianity and returns to the doctrine taught by Jesus Christ himself.
“If one says we are not Christians because we do not hold a fourth- or fifth-century view of the Godhead, then what of those first Christian Saints, many of whom were eyewitnesses of the living Christ, who did not hold such a view either?”
This is a must-watch today:
So in 1829, a 23-year-old farmboy dictates the Book of Mormon in about 65 days — no notes, no rewrites.
In 1980, statisticians ran it through a computer. Not the doctrine — the tiny words every writer uses without thinking. a, of, the, and. The fingerprint you can't fake.
The verdict: two dozen DISTINCT authors inside the book. Odds of one author writing it all — under 1 in 100 billion.
How did Joseph Smieth fake two dozen fingerprints in 65 days? Unless....
I feel to shout from the X rooftops that Joseph Smith is a true Prophet whom the Lord raised up and ordained, and to whom he gave keys and power to build up the kingdom of God on earth. I don't worship Joseph, but I love him and esteem him highly. My life has been blessed beyond measure, and I am so much closer to my Savior, because of the light and knowledge that was restored by God to the world through him. Joseph doesn't need me to defend him, but I will do so until my dying breath. Praise to the man!
