Joseph Smith was a demonstrably false prophet; modern Mormonism is a victim of his fraud.

Mike directs Evelyn to his verse-by-verse study of 1 Peter for a careful treatment of the priesthood of all believers. He then directly addresses LDS truth claims: (1) the Book of Abraham — Joseph Smith demonstrably fabricated a translation of Egyptian papyri; (2) Joseph Smith inserted himself into Genesis 50 in the Joseph Smith Translation; (3) Smith is the definition of a wolf in sheep's clothing — using the form of Christian family values to smuggle in false teaching. Mike calls Smith a false prophet with certainty: absolutely, demonstrably, provably. He expresses genuine pastoral care for Evelyn personally.
