Joseph Smiths Erste Vision/Frühe Erkenntnis der Natur Gottes
Joseph Smiths Erste Vision: Frühe Erkenntnis der Natur Gottes
Question: Did Joseph begin his prophetic career with a "trinitarian" idea of God? Question: Did Oliver Cowdery state that Joseph did not know if a "supreme being" existed in 1823? Question: Is the fact that Latter-day Saint missionaries were teaching around 1 November 1830 that Joseph Smith had seen “God” personally a reference to having seen Jesus Christ, but not the Father?
