when did God say a prophet or patriach had to be perfect? - Anger is not always a bad emotion
Abraham - let a wife and son go out into the desert with no servants or support
Jacob - showed so much favouritism with his kids that 10 almost murdered 1.
Moses - killed a man, and took an honour upon himself that was not his to have
Aaron - made a golden calf for people to worship
Noah - got drunk and wandered round naked
Jonah - questioned God time and again, not mention the incident with the Gourd
The disciples could not stay awake for 1 hour
Peter - denied Christ 3 times
Timothy - doubted the resurrection
Elijah - BBQ'd about 300 people
Paul - before he repented assisted in killing Christians
There are loads more just the ones came of the top of my head
All this and we only have a small portion of these prophets lives if we had the volumme of writings on them that we do have on Joseph Smith wonder if they would have had more incidents.
