WITHOUT DISCLOSING THEIR TRUE IDENTITY:

WHY TRUE MESSENGERS

DO NOT REVEAL THE REAL TRUTH

There is not one RELIGION upon this earth since its foundation, which, at its root and in
real truth, was precipitated by a true messenger, in other words, one whom religions refer to in
antiquity as a “true prophet.” Indeed, some LDS/Mormons may argue that quite the opposite is
true in the case of the establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However,
as this authorized and official biography has proven, Joseph Smith’s involvement with the
beginnings of this particular religious faith extended only to acquiesce to the delusions of the
people, after they had rejected the true gospel found in the Book of Mormon.
Since the foundation of this mortal world, all religions and all of their supposed
scripture, knowledge, understandings, and authority, were invented by the vain and foolish
imaginations of free-willed human beings.^1 To counter this, true messengers—generally
instructed not to disclose their true identity—have been sent among the people to teach
according to what the people accepted as their truth and reality, without giving them the
real truth until they desired it. True messengers do not believe in any religion, myth,
fantasy, or any of the truths and realities invented by the free will of mortal human beings.
In contrast, they are taught—in face-to-face conversation with advanced human beings—the real
truth of all things:

 things as they really are, not how the frail imperfect human mind

perceives them;

 things as they really have been, not how the imperfect and biased

histories of the world present them through written history;^2 and

 things as they really will be, based on the experience of endless mortal

human worlds going through the same stage of human development that

we upon this earth are experiencing.^3

When they were not allowed to disclose their true identity, true messengers gave the
people only what the people would accept according to their free will.^4 By not disclosing
their true identity, they protected and respected the free will of the people and attempted to
instruct them according to this free will. They did not give false religion to the people; but they
allowed people according to their own desires to build up, or even create, their own false religion.
True messengers, therefore, delivered their message through the means that the
people to whom they were sent allowed them. Thus, Jesus, the Christ, spoke to the Jews of
Moses and their traditions and according to their beliefs at the time. If he would have used
any means other than the currently held religious beliefs of the people, or revealed the
