PROPHETS MUST BE 100% CORRECT AND OBV. Joseph fails the test.
Not if you at a credible source. Let's look at the first one on your list. And let's look at what Joseph actually said in his own words.
I was once praying very earnestly to know the time of the coming of the Son of Man, when I heard a voice repeat the following:
Joseph, my son, if thou livest until thou art eighty-five years old, thou shalt see the face of the Son of Man; therefore let this suffice, and trouble me no more on this matter.
I was left thus, without being able to decide whether this coming referred to the beginning of the millennium or to some previous appearing, or whether I should die and thus see his face.
I believe the coming of the Son of Man will not be any sooner than that time." (D&C 130:14-17)
So Joseph predicted that the second coming would not occur before 1891. And it didn't.
Check Joseph accurately predicted the civil war as well as the timeline to the world wars in D&C 87 and your site is trying to pretend it's a false prophesy.
Or Isaiah 11 which has been partially fulfilled. The Lord did raise an ensign to the world and commence gathering Israel. The rest will be fulfilled at the coming of Christ. Or are you suggesting that Joseph lied when he said Isaiah 11 would be fulfilled? It seems to me you would have to deny your own faith to prove Joseph someone falsely prophecies.
In fact Joseph, or rather, the Book of Mormon prophecies of you.
And because my words shall hiss forth—many of the Gentiles shall say: A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible. (2 Nephi 29:3)
Wo be unto him that shall say: We have received the word of God, and we need no more of the word of God, for we have enough!
For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have. (2 Nephi 28:29-30)
I've always found it amusing that those who attack the Book of Mormon and diefy the Bible to be something it doesn't claim to be prove the prophetic character of the Book of Mormon.
But you don't have to take my word for it. Read it for yourself. And when you have read it ponder the message and mercy of the Lord. Then take the challenge and ask the Lord with a sincere heart and He will show you the Book of Mormon is true. And it's the greatest asset we have to defend the faith of Jesus Christ in our day.
Look at this thread. Muslim will not contend against the Book of Mormon. He Cannot. And you've found it, with it's testimony of Christ to be a bigger threat to your faith than Islam. It's interesting to see.
