None of this - guessing-right-consistently hypothesis - makes sense. In spite of all the odds, Joseph guessed right over and over and over? Sure. Till cement structures were found in ancient America. Now experts know metal records exist elsewhere. Golden plates? LOL! Everyone knew in Joseph’s day that papyrus and parchment was what the ancients wrote on! Unrelenting criticism was heaped upon Joseph. Elder Nelson made 40 drafts of a recent conference talk. Emma says Joseph couldn’t write a coherent letter. No working draft.Įmma disagreed with this claim. With only (mostly) minor grammatical corrections after that. Joseph dictated the entire work in 65 working days. These are messages that live, breathe, and inspire. Joseph Interweaved names, places, strategies, coined phrases that are now on refrigerator doors, etc. It was revelation.Ĭlaim THREE: Joseph was a naturally gifted writer at 23. Why didn’t anyone else say all of this in the last 1800 years? “Geniuses” have lived and died. Instead, God’s fingerprints are all over this book. Allegory of the Olive Tree.Īll of this was off the top of his head with no notes? Not possible. Rich doctrinal insights into the Atonment and Resurrection.

If he used the mountain of books (for which there is no evidence) as critics claim, how did he sift through it all, winnow out the irrelevant, and keep the intricate facts straight? He dictated 500+ pages fluidly. In fact, Joseph dictated page after detailed, interwoven, harmonious page with his head in a dark hat, looking at a seer stone. And Emma further noted that Joseph couldn’t have concealed such if he had tried. Indeed, scribes, including Emma explained Joseph lacked notes or manuscript upon which to rely.
