A deep dive into the claim that angelic revelation proves Mormonism false, with biblical examples that complicate the argument. The discussion explores Jesus in Islamic theology, evangelical views of Latter-day Saints, and the way social media turns complex theology into simplistic charts. It also traces early attacks on Joseph Smith, including comparisons to Muhammad by Abner Cole and Alexander Campbell.
