>>23887662I view Joseph Smith as a prophet because of the church he created. Latter day saints are a massive organisation all stemming from the actions of a couple of men spearheaded by Joseph Smith. If that's not prophetic, then I don't know what is.
>i don think your “faith” aligns with the original teachingsI have always believed in God and I need faith to trust the content in the book of Mormon is true, as there is a lot that clashes with History as well as technology at the time.
>supposed to pray for the deceased not get baptisedI just view baptisms for the dead as an additional blessing or prayer that secures heaven for those that are deceased "just in case". People that get hung up on the idiosyncrasies of what someone would want in death are being too controlling in my opinion.
What flavour of Christianity are you beefflaps?
