Speaking of the veracity of scripture based on one's personal experience with God... I was thinking of a certain well known singer/actor who is of the Morman faith who had a vision while in the temple. This experience locked in his belief in the writings of Joseph Smith. I'm currently investigating scriptures that indeed do counterdict one another in the 4 gospels accounts of Christ's resurrection, but I am of the growing opinion that scripture is often deeper in symbolism making literal details perhaps less of an issue.

First of all, and, as you already probably know, we need to test all visions to the Bible and not to the writings of Joseph Smith, or even to the writings of Ellen White.

If the writings of Joseph Smith contradict the Scriptures, then we are to distance ourselves from those writings. The same holds true to the writings of Ellen White.

As far as comparing Scripture with Scripture goes, as long as the details do not contradict one another, then there shouldn't be any problem. I will check out the four gospels in relation to your post and respond to that specifically in a separate post.

I hope others reading this will also do this and also respond here.

msmango,

To make it easier for any of us to respond, just how do the four gospels seem to contradict each other in relation to the resurrection of Christ?

Welcome msmango, I have a relation that had what he interpreted as a supernatural intervention and a sign that the LDS teachings were true. Apparently when he had started to eat his plate moved. My mother told him the if there was some water under the plate it could have move. He didn't eat that meal as he considered the meat to have gone bad. That is his "moment in time, his proof. I understated that LDS rely on feelings.

I was once told by a person who was into the metaphysical that LDS were the kindergarden of the metaphysical

"Metaphysics" as used more loosely to refer to "subjects that are beyond the physical world"
