Index of Claims in "False Prophecy in the Doctrine and Covenants"
Claim
The true test of a prophet is that all his prophecies come to pass (Deut. 18:20-22), and “…the Bible never recommends prayer as a way of discerning true and false prophets”.
Author's source(s)
Response
- For a detailed response, see: The prophetic test in Deuteronomy 18
Claim
Joseph Smith predicted in 1835 that, "The coming of the Lord, which was nigh - even fifty-six years should wind up the scene" (History of the Church, Vol. 2 p. 182). Because that didn’t happen by 1891 suggests Joseph was a false prophet but doesn’t prove it conclusively.
Author's source(s)
- History of the Church, Vol. 2, p. 182.
Response
- For a detailed response, see: Second Coming to be in 1890
Claim
Two unfulfilled “close-dated unconditional prophecies” preserved in Doctrine and Covenants Section 84:3-5 (construction of a temple in MO) and Section 114 (David Patten serving a mission to all the world) prove that Joseph Smith was a false prophet.
