Joseph Smith's King Follett Discourse vs. the Bible | Ep# 703
Joseph Smith’s King Follett Discourse vs. The Bible | What Did Joseph Smith Teach About God? What did Joseph Smith actually teach about God, man, creation, and salvation? In this episode of G220 Radio, we take Joseph Smith’s King Follett Discourse and compare his own words directly with the Holy Scriptures. Joseph Smith claimed he was going to explain the character of God and even said he would prove his teachings from the Bible. But when we examine his statements alongside Scripture, do they actually agree? In this episode, we examine some of the most significant claims from the King Follett Discourse, including: • Joseph Smith’s claim that God is “a man like one of you” • His teaching that God “came to be God” • His statement that “you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves” • His teaching that creation means “to organize” rather than create from nothing • His claim that the mind of man is as immortal as God himself • His teaching that man's first principles are self-existent with God • His teaching concerning salvation of the dead and postmortem opportunity • His statement that “knowledge saves a man” This isn't about misrepresenting Mormon beliefs or attacking individuals. The question is simple: Does Joseph Smith’s King Follett Discourse agree with the Bible?
