Smith admits falsehood over revelations at Mormon tabernacle
President Joseph F. Smith told a Salt Lake City audience that he lied before the senate committee about receiving revelations from God. He said critics tried to trap him, defended the church’s prophetic line, and urged members to live righteously while noting prophets continue to reveal God’s word. He attacked critics as anti-Christs and pressed for disfellowship of foes. He argued Mormons must build a temporal kingdom alongside spiritual aims.
