Do You Want to Follow a False Prophet Joseph Smith? about the Temple

A Mormon Can Leave Mormonism Based on Logic and Prayer and
God Never Asked You to Believe in Him Based on Blind Faith but Satan Does

Instead of trying to convince a Mormon that humans are not angels, consider one very important prophecy.

4 Verily this is the word of the Lord, that the city New Jerusalem shall be built by the gathering of the saints, beginning at this place, even the place of the temple, which temple shall be reared in this generation.
5 For verily this generation shall not all pass away until an house shall be built unto the Lord, and a cloud shall rest upon it, which cloud shall be even the glory of the Lord, which shall fill the house.
(D&C Section 84.4,5)

The temple was never built. This prophecy was given in 1832. If the oldest person lived to be 100, the temple should have been built by 1932. The land in far west Missouri in that location was never build and not even owned by the mainstream Mormon church today. It's owned by one of the offshoots of the church. There are 150 offshoots or sects of Mormonism.

It is in contradiction to Revelation 21 which says the "new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven" (v.2) so it is not built on earth. "The first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea" (v.1). It has no need of the sun. "And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof" (v.23).

There will be no temple because God and the Lamb will be the temple. "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it" (v.22).

The dimensions of the New Jerusalem on the surface are 12,000 stadia x 12,000 stadia. A stadion was about 607 feet or 185 meters which was 1379 x 1379 miles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jerusalem

Missouri is 264 miles x 264 miles NOT 1379 x 1379 miles.

If you can't trust a prophet all the time then he is not a true prophet. God is not a God of chaos. It is not your job to figure out when the prophet is right and when he is wrong. When Joseph Smith said he was speaking for the Lord, he really should have been, but he wasn't. You don't have to listen to him. You can and should even rebuke him in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Praise God!

"And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him" (Deut. 18.21,22).
