7 False Prophecies from Joseph Smith: Mormons EXPOSED!

Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, is viewed by adherents of the Latter Day Saint movement as a prophet in the tradition of the ancient prophets recorded in the Bible. During his life, Smith made several prophecies, many documented in the Doctrine and Covenants, a book of scripture in several denominations of the Latter Day Saint movement.

There is much dispute surrounding the known and alleged prophecies of Smith. Some critics contend that Smith could not be a genuine prophet because they claim that some of his prophecies did not come true.[1][2][3] Latter Day Saint adherents have responded to these claims by putting forth the following six arguments:

some prophecies that critics claim have failed have actually been fulfilled;
some of Smith’s statements have been mischaracterized as “prophecies”;
some prophetic statements ascribed to Smith have not been verified as legitimate by either Latter Day Saint or non–Latter Day Saint historians;
some prophecies should be interpreted metaphorically, not literally;
some legitimate prophecies were conditional and did not happen because the conditions precedent to those prophesies were not satisfied; and
some legitimate prophecies remain unfulfilled but are expected to be fulfilled in the future.
