Their prophet Joseph Smith said he saw the person of The Father and Jesus. Let us test that with what Paul the apostle and even with what our Precious Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ said.
The Bible says in 1Timothy 6:16kjv, Who only hath immortality,dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. Paul says that no man can approach the inexpressible glory of God, nor has, nor can. This talks about the holiness of God. If a man physically looked upon God in His full glory with his eyes on this earth that man would simply die where he stood. The LORD says to Moses in Exodus 33:20kjv, And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
There is one exception ~ The Lord Jesus (The perfect God-man). The Lord Jesus testified He has seen the Father (John 6:46kjv). No other man has nor can.
So considering what we have seen from holy scripture that Jesus is the only one who has seen the Father, and Paul says no man (except Christ) can see the Father, how did Joseph Smith? How did Joseph Smith look upon His face and live? Simple ~ Joseph Smith did NOT see the Father nor did he see Jesus.
