…no man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith. From the day that the Priesthood was taken from the earth to the winding-up scene of all things, every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are—I with you and you with me. I cannot go there without his consent. He holds the keys of that kingdom for the last dispensation—the keys to rule the spirit-world; and he rules there triumphantly, for he gained full power and a glorious victory over the power of Satan while he was yet in the flesh, and was a martyr to his religion and to the name of Christ, which gives him a perfect victory in the spirit-world. He reigns there as supreme being in his sphere, capacity, and calling, as God does in heaven.
Brigham Young, 10/9/1859, Journal of Discourses 7:289
The LDS worships Joseph Smith!!! No one gets into heaven without Smith’s consent?!?! What about all those Christians since the first century?
The LDS virtually worships Joseph Smith. While the rest of us celebrate Christmas often with depictions of the nativity of Christ, it didn’t surprise me that the LDS celebrates the nativity of Smith! This photo came from the Mormonism Research Ministry:
