| − | |summary= | + | |summary=Debemos tener cuidado de no reclamar por Joseph Smith perfecciones que no reclaman para sí mismo. Él no necesita haber sido sobrehumano para ser el instrumento en manos de Dios que sabemos que él sea. En mayo de 1844, José declaró: "Nunca te dije que era perfecto, pero no hay ningún error en las revelaciones que he enseñado." Se había comentado antes: "A pesar de que he hecho mal, yo no los agravios se me acusa con hacer: el mal que hago es a través de la fragilidad de la naturaleza humana, como los demás hombres. Ningún hombre vive sin culpa. ¿Crees que a Jesús, si Él estuviera aquí, sería sin culpa en los ojos? Sus enemigos dijeron toda clase de mal contra Él-todos ellos vio la iniquidad en él. "José Smith fue un hombre mortal se esfuerza por cumplir con una abrumadora misión divinamente señalada contra todo pronóstico. La maravilla no es que él nunca aparece fallas humanas, pero que él tuvo éxito en su misión. Sus frutos son innegables e innegablemente bueno. |
