Ep 143 – Kinderhoax Plates

On this episode, Joseph Smith is a fraud. We discuss two occurrences in Nauvoo which prove that Jo didn't have access to any knowledge that people of his day did. First is the Greek Psalter incident where a guy proved that Jo had no idea what language was on the parchment. After that is the entirety of the Kinderhook Plates incident, which proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that Jo unabashedly knew he was a fraud. These incidents, coupled with the Book of Abraham in early 1842, reveal Jo to be the liar he was.
