Reasons to agree The 1832 version of the story  says that only   one   personage, Jesus Christ, appeared to him.  The 1838 version of the story says that God and Jesus Christ appeared to him. Still a third version of this event is recorded as a recollection in Smith's diary, fifteen years after the alleged vision, where one unidentified "personage" appeared, then another, with a message implying that neither was the Son. They were accompanied by many "angels," which are not mentioned in the official version you have been told about Reasons to disagree By this logic the Bible can not be true.  Perhaps all the things happened but he only mentioned part of them in each  writing .  Scriptures that agree Scriptures that disagree   Interest of those who agree Interest of those who disagree   Common Interest Opposing Interest   Videos That agree Images That agree Score : # of reasons to agree: 0 # of reasons to disagree: -0 # of rea...

Reasons to agree Joseph Smith's contradicted stories of the 1st vision should lead us to question his accuracy .  If Joseph Smith really had seen God and Jesus Christ he would have written about it sooner than 1832, 11 years after its alleged occurrence.
