If I remember right, there were at least 3 different versions of that first alleged vision recorded by Smith. And all three varied in important details including the date.

I'd ridicule them for that. But StephenFlorida, will think I'm a bigot just for pointing out an inconsistency that ought not exist if Smith was a prophet of God like he claimed.

As Jesus said:

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?”

Enough said. Have a nice day.

Actually there were six:
(took this off a post from svcw)
I saw a chart once that showed fourteen.

In 1832: he said he was age 16, in the wilderness, pillar of light spoke to him

In 1834: he said he was age 15, was awakened, just started thinking about God

In 1835: he said he was age 14, in a grove, a single personage spoke to him

In 1840: he said he was age 14 or 15, by his house, two glorious personages

In 1842: he said he was age 14, a secret place, fire pillar or two personages

In 1842: he said it was early 1820, in a secret grove, two people who glowed

Interesting really, I know if I saw God Almighty, in person, my account would not ever change one iota, every detail would be remembered in glorious detail.

It just goes to show you when you lie, the events always change.
