S6E44 An Angel from Heaven Preaching Another Gospel (Galatians 1-8) Part 3

Joseph Smith, the "Mormon Muhammad." First, Vinny, Sal, and Tony set the Notre Dame–Miami line in a Vegas back room, and Betty writes that a BYU professor praised Gerrit's work debunking the Nancy Rigdon letter. 

 

Then back to Galatians 1:8 and the claim that a gospel from an angel must be false. We read the earliest press on the Saints: an 1831 report that Mormons think Joseph is Jesus and that Christ will return in Philadelphia, a Presbyterian's letter from Ohio, and Mormonism Unveiled comparing Saints bound for Missouri to pilgrims at Muhammad's tomb. 

 

The New York Herald ran the Muhammad line for years, printed Joseph's poetic version of D&C 76 while mocking him, and by 1855 said the only way out was over the corpse of Mormondom or of Christianity.
