Mindless devotion to Smith's teachings also raised the ire of non-Mormons attempting to reason with the Saints about the folly of their beliefs. Reason and logical thinking meant little to Mormons, who commonly rejected analytical thought in favor of supernatural experience.

 "Mindless devotion to Smith's teachings also raised the ire of non-Mormons attempting to reason with the Saints about the folly of their beliefs. Reason and logical thinking meant little to Mormons, who commonly rejected analytical thought in favor of supernatural experience."
  • How does the author describe the resurrection of Jesus Christ using "reason and logical thinking" while discounting "supernatural experience"?
  • How was the mob who drove the Saints out of their homes and shot them "attempting to reason" with them?
  • Loaded and prejudicial language
  • Author's opinion.

521n2

 The author provides this description of the three degrees of glory:

"The first degree of glory, which provides a very limited amount of glory/reward, is reserved for non-Mormons whose lives are marked primarily by immorality. The second degree, which offers a slightly greater glory/reward, is granted to non-Mormons and Mormons alike who live good lives marked primarily by kindness, goodness, and trying to live the best life possible. Finally, the third degree, which is basically the highest heaven attainable, is reserved for faithful Mormons who lived an exemplary life as "priests of the Most High, after the order of Melchizadeck (sic)."

105, 522n12

 The Evening and Morning Star was "haranguing non-Mormons" by threatening them with "imminent destruction" if they did not repent.

 The author's claim is false

  • "The Last Days," Evening and Morning Star, February 1833, vol. 1, no. 10, 65.
  • Note: there is no p. 65 in Vol. 1, No. 10. This error exists in both the hardback and paperback. It should be Vol. 9 for that page and article name.

105, 522n13

 Joseph Smith "officially defined the 'wicked' as anyone rejecting Mormon beliefs."
  • Underwood (on the page cited) points out that this label had little to do with behavior: "Theologically, then, the Saints used the word "wicked" as a sort of generic term for all unbelievers, regardless of their personal ethics" (italics original, bold added).
  • It is a biblical doctrine that all are under sin. All are wicked, and none can be saved unless they accept the gospel of Jesus Christ. (See, e.g., Romans 3:23, Colossians 1:21.) Accepting the gospel does not mean we do not still sin, but it does mean we will not be damned for our sins, because of the grace of Christ. This attack is hypocritical, since Abanes surely believes that anyone who does not accept the proper type of Christianity is likewise "wicked" and damned. Yet, he condemns Joseph and the Saints for teaching the same doctrine, with the same intention.

 "Through Independence trekked Shawnees, Kickapoos, and Pottawattamies....The old settlers counted the Indian guns and listened uneasily to their lamentation and despair, but the Mormons watched the migration with a kind of ecstasy."
  • The author includes a quote from Fawn Brodie. This quote is Brodie's prose, and is not referenced to any primary source in her book No Man Knows My History. The phrase "the Mormons watched the migration with a kind of ecstasy" is pure Brodie, yet in ONUG it now becomes a cited source.

107-108

 "Contrary to what God had declared through Smith's revelations, peace would not reign in Zion."

108, 523n26

 Latter-day Saints changed their perception as being "adopted into Israel" to being "literal" descendants of Israel because they "were going to end up second-class Israelites."
  •  Misrepresentation of source
  • While Underwood does discuss how "Mormons could be 'adopted' into the House of Israel through conversion to God's latter-day work and thus became equal participants in the promises of the 'new covenant.'" He then notes that "With the passage of time, American and European Saints placed increasing emphasis on literally having the "blood of Israel" in their veins and rarely referred to themselves as gentiles needing to be adopted into Israel." Nowhere on page 30, however, does Underwood explain the reason for this shift, much less attribute it to fear of being "second class Israelites."
  • Underwood, 30.

108-109, 523n27-29

 "Mormons today continue to maintain that they are literal descendants of Israel. A majority of them, in fact, assert that they, like their beloved prophet, have bloodlines going back to Ephraim. This information usually is imparted to LDS members when they received their 'Patriarchal Blessing.'" Brigham Young identified Joseph Smith as a "pure Ephraimite."
  • Daniel H. Ludlow: "Although President Young identified Joseph Smith as a “pure Ephraimite” in the above quotation, so far as the Prophet’s family or blood lines were concerned, Brigham Young and others have recognized that (1) Joseph Smith was from a Gentile nation and (2) some of Joseph Smith’s progenitors may have come from bloodlines other than that of Ephraim. (See Journal of Discourses, 2:268.)" See Ludlow, "Of the House of Israel", Ensign, January 1991. off-site

 Any Gentiles who might "want to become Mormon without being descended from Israel" would receive a "heavenly blood transfusion."
  • History of the Church, vol. 3, 380.

110, 523n33

 Missionaries were sent to preach to "other Caucasians who had not yet heard the Mormon gospel....This high number of Caucasian converts who viewed themselves as God's chosen people greatly contributed to the ease with which Smith introduced one of his most offensive doctrines—i.e., persons of African descent are cursed by God."
  • Jerald and Sandra Tanner, "Excommunication: Mormon Leader Expelled After Charging Church with Racism," Salt Lake City messenger (#73), October 1989.

110, 524n35

 The Evening and Morning Star had been "pushing the point that Missouri rightfully belonged to Mormons."
  • "The Far West," Evening and Morning Star, October 1832, vol. 1, no. 5, 37.

116

 Joseph "recevied yet another revelation on August 2, 1833, the contents of which seemed to indicate that God also was unaware of the Missouri tragedy."
  •  The author's claim is false
  • D&C 97:24-25 (the same D&C section the author uses for his citation) refers to the problems in Jackson County (Zion) (This text is also found on to 1835 D&C page 210):
24 For the indignation of the Lord is kindled against their abominations and all their wicked works.
25 Nevertheless, Zion shall escape if she observe to do all things whatsoever I have commanded her.
  • In addition, the description in the modern edition of D&C 97 states: "Members of the Church in Missouri were at this time subjected to severe persecution, and on July 23, 1833, had been forced to sign an agreement to leave Jackson County."
  • Loaded and prejudicial language

116, 525n63-64

 Joseph received a revelation which "established the primacy of religious law over secular law...and not only authorized but commanded Mormons to disobey secular law and civil leaders not conforming to the commandments of God."

117

 After using a quote from Brodie to describe how Latter-day Saints were driven from their homes in Jackson County, the book attempts an additional bit of "Brodie-like" embellishment: "They had neither provision, nor direction. some fled to nearby Clay County, but most of those exiled remained huddled in the woodlands by the Missouri River. Their only comfort was the hope that Christ would soon deliver them." (emphasis added)
  • None

121, 525n82

 "Smith ultimately placed blame for the humiliating venture not on his own shoulders, but upon the sinful conduct, lack of faith, and ungodly attitudes of those traveling with him."

 God told Joseph that Zion would be redeemed by September 1836.
  • Joseph Smith, letter to the High Council of Zion, August 16, 1834, History of the Church, vol. 2:145.

123, 526n91

 "In hopes of distancing his church meetings from those of corrupt Christendom, Smith initiated the practice of several ceremonies found in both ancient Judaism and early Christianity..."
  • If Joseph claimed to be restoring early Christianity, why is it strange that he would reinstitute practices from early Christianity? And, how did Joseph know of these authentic practices of the early Christians?
  • Mormonism and Early Christianity (Vol. 4 of Collected Works of Hugh Nibley), edited by Todd Compton and Stephen D. Ricks, (Salt Lake City, Utah : Deseret Book Company ; Provo, Utah : Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies, 1987), 1–.

 "Joseph knew that nothing short of a spectacular closing to the dedication week would be acceptable to the crowds. So during the final April 3 service, Smith and Oliver Cowdery, with great ceremonial show, disappeared from the congregation behind two special veils that had been lowered in front of them..."

124, 526n100

 In the Kirtland Temple, Elijah "gave Joseph 'the keys of the gathering of Israel from the four parts of the earth, and the leading of the ten tribes from the land of the north' (i.e., the North Pole)." The endnote states, "Smith's ideas about the location of Israel's Lost Ten Tribes being at the North Pole must be pieced together from a variety of sources..."

124, 526n101

 "Smith also told several followers that the Ten Tribes were located on a planet by the North Star: a planet originally part of the earth."
  • According to one of the sources quoted, Orson Pratt said, "The Prophet Joseph once in my hearing advanced his opinion that hte Ten Tribes were separated from the Earth; or a portion of the Earth was by a miracle broken off..." In other words, Joseph was expressing his opinion.
