Notes
1The Mormon Church recognizes the Bible as authoritative
“insofar as it is correctly translated”—a catchall excuse for
denying whatever Biblical doctrine the Church does not like.
2From History of the Church, 2:182. The phrase “48 years” is in
the original, but Church historians have edited the current edition.

What Must I Do to Be Saved?
You have broken God’s Holy Law, His Ten Commandments
(Exodus, chapter 20). If you will be honest with yourself, you have
lied, stolen, and coveted, and by doing all these things, you have
dishonored your father and mother. And if you will be even more
honest with yourself, you have broken all the others, too.
You’ve got a problem, my friend. And it’s a serious problem,
because the penalty for breaking God’s Law is death, and not just
physical death. The penalty is eternal death, separation from God
in a place that you really don’t want to go to. But there’s some
good news. In fact, it’s great news. That eternal penalty has already
been paid. God Himself paid it and paved the road for our
salvation through Jesus Christ. 7
he question of Joseph Smith’s prophethood is a vital issue.
If Joseph Smith is not a prophet sent from God, then the
Book of Mormon is a fraud and Smith’s false teachings
must not only be ignored, but also exposed as a fraud. Mormons
must be presented with God’s standards for prophets, as set forth in
the Pentateuch, which is recognized by the Book of Mormon.1
If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet
speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account. But
a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I
have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks
in the name of other gods, must be put to death. —
Deuteronomy 18:19-20

Deuteronomy 18:19-20
2 Of course, God has anticipated the problem of identifying just
who a prophet of God would be. In a word, a prophet can be
identified by the accuracy of his predictions:
You may say to yourselves, ‘How can we know when a
message has not been spoken by the Lord?’ If what a
prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take
place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not
spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not
be afraid of him. —Deuteronomy 18:21-22
It is a simple matter to compare the predictions of Joseph Smith with
what actually occurred in history. If Smith said something would
come to pass, and it didn’t, then he is a false prophet and a fraud and
we must expose his false teachings.
Here is just one of the false “prophecies” of Joseph Smith: 3
One Mistake Disqualifies Joseph Smith
Joseph Smith was wrong, therefore he was not and is not a
prophet of God. One mistake disqualifies Joseph Smith from being
one of God’s prophets. All the rest of his teaching is irrelevant. Even
though Joseph Smith claimed he heard an angel talking to him, no
one else with him heard or saw anything. Smith either lied or he
suffered under a demonic delusion.
Jesus Christ is the True Prophet
The Bible speaks of Jesus as God’s greatest and final
Prophet. His coming was predicted centuries in advance by hundreds
of very specific prophecies in the Old Testament, and His work to
save us from judgment is set forth in the New Testament.

In the name of the Lord God—let it be written: that the
Son of Man will not come in the heavens till I am 85
years old, 48 years hence or about 1890.2
This “prophecy” was made by Joseph Smith in 1835. The
Second Coming of Christ did not occur “about 1890,” and the
Mormon Church certainly does not claim that it did. Nor has it
occurred since. Joseph Smith did not live to be 85 years old. Smith
died in a Carthage jail in 1844. Why would God make a revelation
conditional upon an event which he knew would never happen? He
would not.
Joseph Smith’s false prophecies are too numerous to mention
here. Use any Internet search engine (i.e., google.com) and search
on “false prophecies of Joseph Smith”) to find many more. 4
God Confirmed His Prophets by Miracles
When God sent Moses to the Israelites, He not only gave him
miracles to give him credibility, He also talked to Moses from the
mountain, and thousands heard God speaking to him. Also,
• Miriam and Aaron heard the voice of God talking about
Moses as a prophet.
• After John the Baptist baptized Jesus, everyone heard the
voice of God saying that this is His beloved Son (Luke
3:22).
• On the Mount of Transfiguration, a voice came from
heaven and spoke about Jesus. Peter, James and John
were with Jesus and heard this voice, too. (Matthew 17:1-
8) 5
