Joseph Smith's Backdated Prophecies w/ Radio Free Mormon | Ep. 1730 | LDS Discussions Ep. 35

Radio Free Mormon joins the usual crew (Mike, John & ‪@NEMOTHEMORMON‬) as they discuss evidence for prophecies that appear to have been backdated after the events of the supposed prophecy already happened. They explore how scholars can identify and analyze backdated prophecies and their significance. Specific examples of backdated prophecies are explored in the Book of Mormon and D&C, as well as Joseph Smith's manipulation of Isaiah and the Bible to support his claims.
