How Do SDA/Mormons/JW KNOW Their prophet Speaks For God then?

[Yeshua1]

As all 3 cults have founders who claimed to be sent from God, to have new revealtions from Him, so how do they "know"theirs is right, and the others were wrong?

pastor russell
Joseph Smith
Ellen Whire

All claimed to speak for the lord, yet ALL disagreed among themselves, so why accept one of them over any other?

Point is NONE were from/of God!

I suspect that Russell, Smith, and White realized they were conning the gullible. The Apostle Peter has some choice words for false prophets and teachers:

2 Peter 2:1-3
1. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

 

[SolaSaint]

The angel Moroni showed himself to Smith, so that settles it. Right? :laugh:

Think it shows that to them thre final authority was and is NOT the Bible, but their founders!
