One LAST but not LEAST question:
Do you agree Joseph Smith has done better than Jesus?? since he said " I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet. " (History of the church Vol 6, p.408)
你同意約瑟斯密比耶穌做得更好嗎?他曾說「我比任何人都更值得誇耀。 自從亞當時代以來,我是唯一能夠讓整個教會團結在一起的人… 即使保羅、約翰、彼得、甚至乎耶穌都沒有這樣做過。 我可以誇口,從來沒有人能像我這樣工作。耶穌的門徒離他而去逃跑; 但後期聖徒從未離我而去。 」(History of the church Vol 6, p.408)
