In this episode, we dive into Chapter Eight of Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet by John G. Turner, focusing on the fall of 1830 through the move to Kirtland, Ohio. We explore major challenges to Joseph Smith’s authority, including Hiram Page’s seer stone revelations and Oliver Cowdery’s pushback on church governance. Why did Joseph stop using a seer stone? What does it mean when revelations clash? We also discuss: -The origins of the concept of Zion -Apocalyptic expectations, blood moons, and the Second Coming -The influence of the Book of Enoch and Joseph’s expanding biblical vision -Missionary work among Native Americans and the designation of Jackson County as the New Jerusalem -Sidney Rigdon’s introduction and influence, including debates about his possible prior contact with Joseph Smith -The emotional and financial sacrifices demanded of early followers—and what Joseph himself was giving up (or not) With theological innovation, power struggles, failed prophecies, and spiritual fervor, this chapter reveals the complexity of Joseph Smith's evolving leadership. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that considers both historical context and human motivations. ___________________ YouTube Mormon Stories Thanks Our Generous Donors!

Joseph Smith's Early Opposition & Forgotten Critics - John Turner Pt. 7 | Ep. 2039 2:06:58

منذ 17 يومًا2:06:58

2:06:58

In this episode, we dive into Chapter seven of Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet by John G. Turner. We explore early public criticism of Joseph Smith by figures like Abner Cole, the satirical Book of Pukei, and Luman Walters' possible influence. We also examine Joseph’s efforts to sell the copyright of the Book of Mormon in Canada, what that reveals about his intentions, and the revelation that supposedly authorized it. We discuss how Joseph’s financial motives, revelations, and treatment of Martin Harris raise important questions, and consider the book's early lack of demand—even as Joseph continued to pivot and adapt. From legal troubles and claims of treasure seeking, to his revisions of the Bible and the rise of anti-Masonry, this episode looks at how Joseph’s evolving theology and personal ambitions shaped early Mormonism. We also tackle difficult questions around gender and divine authority: Why were no women, including Emma Smith, called as witnesses to the golden plates? What does Emma's role—and her sacrifices—say about the story Joseph told? This is a wide-ranging and thought-provoking installment that challenges the traditional narrative while offering rich historical context. **Topics Include:** - Abner Cole’s criticisms & Book of Pukei - Attempt to sell the Book of Mormon copyright in Canada - Revelations and motives: divine or self-serving? - Joseph’s treatment of Emma & women’s roles - Legal issues & treasure seeking - Bible revisions, anti-Masonry, and theology - Emma’s loyalty and legacy ___________________ YouTube Mormon Stories Thanks Our Generous Donors!

The Man Behind the CES Letter - Jeremy Runnells (Rebroadcast) | Ep. 2033 3:03:16

منذ 5 weeks3:03:16

3:03:16

Join us today as we rebroadcast the story of the man behind the famous CES Letter: Jeremy Runnells.In February 2012, Jeremy Runnels experienced a crisis of faith, which subsequently led to a faith transition in the summer of 2012. In the spring of 2013, Jeremy was approached and asked by a Church Education System (CES) Director to share his concerns and questions about the LDS Church’s origins, history, and current practices. In response, Jeremy wrote what later became publicly known as Letter to a CES Director.Letter to a CES Director very quickly went viral on the internet. The CES Director responded that he read the “very well written” letter and that he would provide Jeremy with a response. No response ever came.From then on, hundreds of Mormons have stumbled across the CES Letter and it has caused them to question their faith. Other believing sites have attacked Jeremy Runnells over the years, saying that he was insincere or that he never believed the church was true. His story clears up all doubt that he was a true-believing Mormon.___________________ YouTube Mormon Stories Thanks Our Generous Donors!

LDS Prophet John Taylor’s 1886 Revelation Created Mormon Fundamentalism! | Ep. 2032 4:20:18

منذ 6 weeks4:20:18

4:20:18

Shocking new breaking news!!!! Did you know that LDS Church prophet John Taylor started Mormon Fundamentalism? The LDS Church History Library just released hi-res scans of the original version of a September 27, 1886, revelation to church president John Taylor that commanded Mormons to “do the works of Abraham.” As the LDS Church was gradually winding down polygamy after 1890, a growing movement believed that polygamy was essential and could not be discarded. The revelation quietly circulated through copies, giving their position some teeth. Then, in the early 1920s, a man named Lorin Woolley began telling the other half of the story: at the time of the revelation, John Taylor had ordained him and other men with the authority to perform plural marriages and ensure “the principle” never died. What is this revelation, what does it say, and how was it used and even denied by church leaders? We are joined today by Bryan Buchanan of Benchmark Books and co-host of Sunstone History Podcast to talk about the new revelation. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:20 What John’s understand has been up to this point 00:06:34 What happened?
