Is Joseph Smith a god now?

Post by _Doctor CamNC4Me »

It was my understanding (deep, deep doctrinal understanding), that Mr. Smith is a god now. I'm curious to see if that still holds as doctrine in the Mormon church these days.

Your understanding is false. It is no wonder why you left the Church -- you never understood anything about it.

I heard that too. I'm starting to doubt whether Simon was ever a Mormon.

No, Buffalo, you did not hear that. We've never taught it.

“You can call us fools: but the day will be, gentlemen and ladies, whether you belong to this Church or not, when you will prize brother Joseph Smith as the Prophet of the Living God, and look upon him as a God, and also upon Brigham Young, our Governor in the Territory of Deseret. (Journal of Discourses, Vol 5, pg 88)

“He is the man through whom God has spoken and revealed some of the most glorious principles that ever were revealed to the children of men; yet I would not like to call him a saviour, though in a certain capacity he was a God to us, and is to the nations of the earth, and will continue to be.
