My defense is simply, if Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were prophets, why would they write things that were not from God? Why would there prophecies not come true? Why? Refer to Deut 18:20-22.

That pretty much ends it for me. LOL. Really this verse gives no room to argue. Plain, straight forward and simple.

Who were the people who LDS writings say lived in America in around 600bc (? may be wrong) and is there any evidence to back this up?

That's a question Deep Shadow would probably be able to answer the best. :sorry1:

www.jefflindsay.com/ldslinks.shtml is a really good site. The vast majority of the critics' accusations are addressed here in a straightforward, understandable and comprehensive manner.

Unfortunately, his interpretation of that scripture isn't supported by the Bible and the evidence that he gives to back the claim up is weak at best.

Well, I disagree and believe that it isn't his interpretation but what is just plainly and simply written. One could read "Dick and Jane" and get some sort of self interpretation that had to do with witchcraft and body mutilation but it doesn't make it the intent of the one who's words were written. I believe the verse/s stand pretty much on their own with this one. Though you don't have to agree, but I can live with that.

I don't know your religious affiliation, but anyone who agrees with that interpretation of this scripture needs to also be prepared to state that Jonah was not a prophet of God.

Care to give an example of a prophecy given by Joeseph Smith and/or Brigham Young that didn't come true?

The Book of Mormon is "Another Testament/Witness of Jesus Christ", therefore, if you reject the Book of Mormon, you are rejecting Jesus Christ.

Those who reject the Book of Mormon, as valid scripture from God, are rejecting the Son of God, who is the author of ALL scripture.

Are you willing to take that risk ???

I would never take such a foolish risk. There is too much to lose.

You might say what is there to lose ??? Ah well nothing really important, just eternal life and exaltaion in the highest degree of glory, with God the Father, and his Son Jesus Christ, and all the blessings which pertain to that degree of glory, in the Celestial kingdom.

Sorry, not willing to take such a foolish risk.

Did he PROPHESY that there were quakers on the moon, or did he just PONDER it? Did he even say it at all, or did people just say he did?

Yeah, it's right next to the revelation in the Doctrine and Covenants about the moon being made of green cheese.

Seriously, I'll search for the revelation Joseph Smith received and recorded in the Doctrine and Covenants, which talked about the Quakers, and their errors, but nothing about the moon, sorry.
