Why Joseph Smith Failed the Biblical Test of a Prophet

Latter-day Saints (aka Mormons) believe that Joseph Smith was a Prophet from God. But does he pass the Bible's test of a Prophet found in Deuteronomy 18? In this video, we'll examine five prophecies from Joseph Smith and other Book of Mormon prophets and see if they pass or fail. Whether you're LDS, an ex-Mormon, or a Christian seeking to share the truth in love, this breakdown will help you think biblically about prophetic authority and how Christians can lovingly share the results with their Mormon friends and family. In particular, we will examine: Alma’s prophecy that Jesus would be born in Jerusalem Joseph Smith’s temple prophecy in Doctrine & Covenants 84 Nephi’s prophecy that the Bible would lose many plain and precious parts Joseph Smith’s civil war prophecy David Patten's mission in Doctrine & Covenants 114 Using direct quotes from LDS General Conference talks, official church manuals, and historical records, we ask: did these prophecies come true? And if not, what does that mean for Joseph Smith’s and the LDS prophets’ claims to divine revelation? To get access to my slides and to help support the channel, join me on Patreon!
