Joseph Smith's scribes, credible or not?
Posted: Thu Jun 02, 2011 2:08 pm
On a different thread I posed the question below to why me, about what is their position about the credibility of the scribes that Joseph Smith used to produce a record.
Why me, are you saying that:
a. We should just accept ALL of what the scribes wrote at face value
or
b. We should just accept NONE of what the scribes wrote at face value
or
c. We should just accept SOME of what the scribes wrote at face value based on our own opinion
What is your position on this and why?
why me wrote:
Here is the point: I have always knew that the accounts of Joseph Smith saying this or that come from second hand sources. I have no idea how to verify their accuracy. I just must look at them as such and go with it. And so should you. Now did Joseph Smith check these notes and make corrections? Maybe not. I don't know.
