Oops sorry i meant to say "Believe"

Answer 1

The only inaccuracies I see are the White Skin/Black Skin, the wives and children of Jesus, Joseph's claim of doing more than Christ, and Joseph's decent from Jesus.

Joseph claimed decent from Joseph, son of Jacob (a.k.a. Israel) and the one sold into Egypt, not Jesus. Also, the quote mis-read here is that Joseph Smith has done more for the salvation of man than any other save Jesus. Also, that claim was made by a later prophet, not Joseph himself.

Nowhere in official Mormon doctrine does it mention a wife of Jesus and while it was hypothesized by a few, it never became part of canon.

The black skin was not a result of being on the fence but claimed instead to be a mark of descent from Cain, brother of Abel and son of Adam.

I wish people would stop setting up straw men and attacking them. While I don't believe the Mormon doctrine, the least those arguing against it could do is present their views accurately. There is no point in debating beliefs if you are going to mis-represent the opposing side.

Answer 2

That's more or less the basis of the Church's doctrinal foundation; however, it wasn't explained in its proper light. If you don't understand the patriarchal system, you won't understand why God or Christ needed more than one wife.

Most of that stuff is just underlying doctrine anyway, not the stuff that we talk about at Church... it's more the "why" to the "what". The "what" is that Christ restored His Church by the Prophet Joseph Smith, and that by doing so, allows us to know His truth through His Church.

One error though: Joseph Smith didn't do more than Christ, just more than anyone EXCEPT Christ... the animation messed that one up. Everything else is pretty close though. Oh, and Joseph Smith won't judge all humanity, just all humanity that lived after the restoration in 1830. Each dispensation head (Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Peter, JS) will judge his dispensation before they are brought before the bar of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

EDIT: Deusex; The fence-sitter black/white thing actually was taught by early prophets, up through Joseph Fielding Smith. It was thought at this time that the reason spirits were born into the Cain-cursed black race is that they were less "valiant" in the pre-existence. This one isn't official doctrine today though, only the part about Cain.

Answer 3

I as a Mormon, find it always amusing how some non-Mormons will "tell" me what I believe, and then when I state how incorrect their assumptions are, they will tell me that I am just "denying" what I believe.

Laughable. And how pitiful. Would the same thought process hold true if I told you what you believe? How arrogant to think to know what I believe and tell me such, and to know it better than myself. Or anyone else for that matter.

This video is not truthful. Pure and simple. But of course, being a life long Mormon I can't possibly really know what I believe, right? (Note the sarcasm).
