I suspect you mean was not constructed by God, but by grifters? If so, I agree. On the other hand we must keep in mind the carpenters, fishermen, and tax collectors in our own history. There is no doubt Joseph Smith was a con man. Can a con man be a prophet? Can a prophet be a con man? Shrug. But here is the deal (as I see it).
When a community or Church believes in Jesus Christ, it is an invitation to the Holy Spirit to begin work as well. The LDS Church, no more than any other Church, is without the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit works quietly, albeit slowly, with the people of God. The Holy Spirit is gentle and patient and there are good people who practice the LDS faith.
Read.......comprehend with logic and reason. English Standard Version: "All scripture is breathed out by God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work....." Complete: requiring nothing more. There are no modern day revelations nor modern Apostles who can demonstrate the signs of an apostle..........bringing back the dead, giving sight to the blind, making the lame from birth walk......
Let me know when you can document just one true sign of an apostle. These must be miraculous acts, unexplainable by the laws of nature, it must be observed, reproducible, and consistent without attempting to blame the one who is to receive the miracle..........because he/she did not have enough faith. (SCAM). "Test all things; hold fast to what is good/true". God gave us a brain grounded in Logic and Reason for a reason.........and it was not to listen to grifters who have only 2 goals in this life...........power and wealth.
What does the "Holy Spirit of Truth" teach? Is the Holy Spirit something that can be possessed personally? Or.........do we receive "a gift" from the Holy Spirit of Truth? (Acts 2:38)
Acts 2 begins by stating, "........they were FILLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT......" -- Acts 2:4. The scriptures do not state "....they were possessed by the Holy Spirit, but...they were FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT". Just what is the Gift of the Spirit? Its truth from Heaven, as that is what Jesus Christ Himself stated as to the reason He came to earth in the first place.....to deliver Truth -- John 18:37. Thus........the Apostles were filled with the Gift of the Spirit.........truth from Heaven. The Holy Spirit is 1 of 3 personalities of the Godhead........no one can possess God.
How do we get Filled with the Spirit of God today? By being filled with the product of the Holy Spirit of Truth..........the content of the Holy Scriptures that were all a product of God (2 Tim. 3:16-17)....as the term Inspired of God....translates literally to mean "God Breathed". The Holy Spirit declares that men now possess all that is required to make one complete, as pertaining to LIFE AND GODLINESS (2 Peter 3:1-10)..... that is the doctrine that comes from the Word of God, as revealed by Jesus Christ.....not tradition, but the actual word of God. Jesus stated that traditions of men make the word of God.......non-effective (Mark 7:13)
The Scriptures state that the supernatual gifts of the spirit would cease/fail, as they were but temporary, and of necessity to establish Truth from the Christ as delivered by the Spirit ........when the Supernatural gifts fail, all that remains is Faith, Hope and Charity/Love (1 Cor. 13) When were the supernatural gifts to fail? When THAT WHICH IS "PERFECT" comes.......perfect in the Greek means made whole, complete. The perfect is not a person..........but the completed Doctrine, and its the same Greek word used in James 1:25.....that concludes with the PERFECT being the PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY...aka..........the New Testament of Grace, completed. The scriptures declare the FAITH (Doctrine) has been delivered ONCE by the saints of the 1st century. (Jude 3)
What makes one whole today and establishes righteous doctrine as declared by God? The Holy Scriptures.....not someone play acting as if they are in communication with God directly and He answers back today by the Holy Spirit. If God speaks to one today, He must then speak to everyone as God has no respect of person. No one person, saint or sinner is more important to God than the next.......as all are created by God with their souls ALL belonging to God to judge as He will (when the spirit leaves the body...the body goes back to dust....the soul goes to God to judge -- Eccl. 12:7
Its all truth and spiritualism. Walk in truth.......and allow the Spirit of God to guide your daily life. If the Word lives in your heart.........the Spirit dwells there within. As the kingdom of God is not a visible kingdom but resides within the Christian (Luke 17:21)
No one prospers when you PLAY CHURCH and attempt to duplicate the Acts of the Apostles......its like children playing, pretending to be like their heroes. As the Apostle, declared, "When I was a child (infant stage of church), I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought (reasoned) as a child; now that I am become a man, I put away childish things (1 Cor. 13:11)
