(4,695 posts)tells us that Jesus has already returned and left books buried to be found in America. Where is Christ staying since he has already returned? Could it be that Mormons believe that Jesus and the Holy Spirit reside in the Celestial Kingdom/Mormon Temple in Utah?
According to the New Testament, Paul received his Apostleship from the risen Christ, in the presence of many people, who also heard the voice of Christ coming down from Heaven. Were his parents believers in familiar spirits, forecasters, and religious con men, when he was growing up in New York City? Where did Smith work? How did Smith make a living? It is my belief that Smith performed no miracles, was a drunkard, and was in and out of jail until he was run out of numerous cities, counties and states. Please feel free to research the records.
Then there is the history that Mormons used native Indians in and around Utah to kill American settlers going West by wagon train until the US Calvary stepped in. What happened to the divine power of the Celestial Kingdom?
