Joseph did not claim that the ''churches'' of the day were "an abomination." He was told that their ''creeds'' were an abomination. According to Joseph Smith's history, he was told the following by Jesus Christ during the First Vision:
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
