“How do people come up with this stuff?” asked Harwell
This kind of “logic” by Mormon apologists is truly remarkable.
Watch them try to explain Joseph Smith’s following prophecy of when Christ was coming again:
“I earnestly desired to know concerning the coming of the Son of Man & prayed, when a voice said to me, Joseph, my son, if thou livest until thou are 85 years old thou shalt see the face of the son of man. Therefore let this suffice & trouble me no more on this matter.”
This is supposedly either “opinion”, “too vague to understand”, or, my favorite - “Since the “if” was never satisfied, the rest is moot”. I guess the “voice” couldn’t forsee the future, unlike Joseph.

"Joseph; I advise you not to go to that jail."
"Darn gnats!!"
"Joseph; I'm telling you to not to go to that jail."
"Flies are BAD today!!"
"Joseph; It ain't gonna be pretty if you ignore me and go to that jail!"
"Crummy mosquitos are EVERYWHERE!!!"
"Joseph! Do NOT go to that jail!"
"And those bedbugs really savaged me last night, too!"
"JOSEPH!! Wake up boy! Do Not Go To That JAIL!!!"
"All right Sheriff - here I am, so give me a nice room while my Lawyer, my Advocate, my Comforter presents the LAW to the Judge and I am VINDICATED!!!"
