Journal of Discourses 5:179 “…let me tell you, the Holy Ghost is a man; he is one of the sons of our Father and our God; and he is that man that stood next to Jesus Christ…”
Heber C. Kimball, Salt Lake City, August 23, 1857
Well, the Bible says the Holy Ghost is a spirit, not a man.

I keep searching the Bible and all the writings of the early historians and I can’t seem to find any evidence that Jesus was married, let alone having children. Not even a hint of evidence. Nor can I find in Scripture that God is glorified if/when we have children. And yet an LDS teaching is that “God is “glorified” by the commandment to “multiply and replenish the earth”. It is evident Jesus had a posterity by His admission that He “glorified” the Father on earth.”

Your virtue is worth more than your life. Please, young folk, preserve your virtue even if you lose your lives.

So what if a young woman is raped—she is no longer a virgin and has lost some of her “virtue”—should she have let the rapist kill her?

I testify to you that this same Jesus appeared to the Nephites and Lamanites upon this continent as recorded in the Book of Mormon. I testify to you that the restoration of His Church was brought about through that humble, yet stalwart young man, Joseph Smith, and that only through His Church and through Him can full salvation come.
Elder Elray L. Christiansen, March 24, 1964, BYU Speeches of the Year, p. 9.

What sort of testimony is this? Did this person witness any of this? How can he testify to something he didn't personally see? There is absolutely no evidence for the LDS claims about Nephites, the Church didn't need restoration by a false prophet who was NOT a humble man. And, finally, "full salvation" is only available through Jesus Christ and not Joseph Smith.
