Joseph was the self-styled Muhammad of the West. It's clear he deliberately plagiarized Muhammad's story and attitude toward traditional Christianity. Joseph, the magpie prophet. Did he have any original ideas?

That there are //s to their stories means he wasn't a vessel for new ideas? What about? Christianity being practiced in the Americas before his advent. The fate of the unevangelized. Eternity of the family unit. List goes on... |

Not that it's worth responding to you when you're trolling, but baptism for the dead was a fresh idea. Although it was practiced in New Testament times.

I was taught exactly this in the MTC. Something about not treading the word of God under foot. So we kept our scriptures off the floor.
