I am mormon and speaking for myself I appreciate the honesty that people have expressed. I am not offended because you all have a right to say what you feel. I won't defend my stance because I lack historical and biblical knowledge. Today we talked about Joseph in Carthage. What I understood to be the main problem was Joseph stood up the Nauvoo legion and it was large and well trained. Through his statements and perceived arrogance I'm sure he made a lot of enemies. what i'm also hearing is the Paul is apparantly the last prophet mouthpiece whatever for God and God has now silenced himself to mankind.
