| Okay, so here's some childish OP. I don't know how this guy think of us as LDS. Seems like they misunderstood Joseph Smith's Calling VS as a perfect man, a prophet. Did he say anything he being sinless? |
So, what is it we are looking for? What is the answer that satisfies the question? What is supposed to be discussed in such a senseless OP? We as humans believe everyone makes plenty of mistakes, and even Joseph Smith is not good at it. But let's just get to the answer using a scriptural statement rather than taking the bait. This wouldn't lead us anywhere; rather, it just leads us to become childish.
Below is the list of quotes that are possibly a good response, unless you don't like it -
Mormon 9:31 Condemn me not because of mine imperfection, neither my father, because of his imperfection, neither them who have written before him; but rather give thanks unto God that he hath made manifest unto you our imperfections, that ye may learn to be more wise than we have been.
...Who, among all the Saints in these last days can consider himself as good as our Lord? Who is as perfect? Who is as pure? Who is as holy as He was? Are they to be found? He never transgressed or broke a commandment or law of heaven—no deceit was in His mouth, neither was guile found in His heart. And yet one that ate with Him, who had often drunk of the same cup, was the first to lift up his heel against Him. Where is one like Christ? He cannot be found on earth....
(Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith)
And here's some Biblical Passage -
1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
The quote goes on. These are just a few quotes about LDS teachings on the life of Joseph. To think Joseph Smith Jr. was just as Christ or sinless isn't constructive criticism. Why bother opening up something not even close to reality?
Every sin that can be acknowledged, of course, everyone can easily acknowledge it. But there's no point in it by just looking up a sin and just a sin, nothing more, nothing less. Why would everyone do that? Moses, David, Solomon, Abraham, Job, and so on, were normal people who sinned throughout their lives. Do we need to acknowledge it?
