Without Disclosing My True Identity
completely disregarded the “fullness of the everlasting Gospel delivered by the Savior.”
Instead, they desired a religion and a church and caused their prophet, Joseph Smith, Jr.,
and their own Christ, to continually “groan within.”
The Book of Mormon Presents the Greatest Proof of the Latter-day Saints’ Follies
Throughout this biography, the cause that led to the persecution of the early
LDS/Mormon people is redundantly explained. The resurrected Joseph wanted this main
cause continually reiterated and explained throughout his authorized and official
biography: the people refused to live the “fullness of the everlasting Gospel...as delivered
by the Savior to the ancient inhabitants.” Instead, they wanted a church, outward
ordinances, and everything else that they erroneously associated with righteous living
before God, as they believed the Bible had taught them. Incredulously, the LDS people
had the Book of Mormon right in front of them, but they never understood its true meaning!
The book was meant to “try their faith, and if it shall so be that they shall believe these
things, then shall the greater things be made manifest unto them.”^25 Their faith was tried
through the presentation of the Book of Mormon; yet they didn’t believe anything written in
it. Therefore, they never had the “greater things manifest[ed] unto them.”
The only thing that was required of them was to give “heed and diligence” to the
words that were “delivered by the Savior” in the Book of Mormon. But they hardened their
hearts against these simple things and looked for things outside of these words—things that
they could not understand. They searched for things that were related to the Law of Moses
and the Bible that had them mesmerized in ignorance and entrenched in vain and foolish
doctrines. Anything that Joseph tried to teach them, the people attempted to reconcile with
their former beliefs; and if they couldn’t reconcile the “new wine” with their “old bottles,”
they simply changed the meaning and invented doctrines and covenants that would not
“break their bottles.” Because they had hardened their hearts, they received “the lesser
portion of the word until they [knew] nothing concerning his mysteries; and then they
[were] taken captive by the devil, and led by his will down to destruction”^26 —which, in
their case, “destruction” meant rampant persecution, mobbing, and continual unrest both
inside and outside of their church. There was no time, not a moment, when the early Latter-
day Saints were not experiencing some kind of “hell.”
The Book of Ether—the Greatest Clue Ever Given
The clues hidden in the Book of Mormon were staring the people right in the face!
And the greatest clue of all was given last: the story presented as the book of Ether. Not
only does this portion of the book explain exactly what being “redeemed from the fall”
actually means,^27 but it negates the Law of Moses, ordinance work, priesthood authority,
and everything else that came from Jewish culture, either as a part of Hebrew history or
of its later counterpart, Christianity. It discounts any need for a church or any other
organization that is set up with the intent to instruct the people in anything outside of
that information that “[Jesus] ministered unto the Nephites.”^28
The story about Jared, his brother, and their friends (the Jaredites) starts about the
time the biblical Tower of Babel supposedly existed. According to the loosely constructed
chronology of the Bible, the tower was built roughly 1,000 years before the time of Moses.
The story explains that the Jaredites “were taught to walk humbly before the Lord; and they
