Default Joseph Smith
What kind of a man was Joseph Smith? Was he like Jesus?

No. Christ is the literal son of God, our Savior and Redeemer. He was the only perfect being to live on the earth. Joseph Smith was a man, with all the imperfections of mortality. Joseph Smith was a prophet, just as Moses, Abraham, Isaiah, etc. We do not worship him, but we honor and revere him. He helped restore the true gospel to the world and was the first prophet in these latter days.

It is personal...in time I will.

Carl, all things are possible in this life to achieve the same gifts/talents/status of 'seeing' as any prophet since Adam. It is based on our desire and living the commandments when our focus is the FATHER's will and not ours. I have faith you can achieve the same.

Well, I guess I would like to know a little about the man. Was he an honest man to his neightbors? Was he trustworthy to his wife and the members of the church? How many wives did he have? What are their names and ages when they married? Were they happy with him? I just want to know a little about him.

Joseph Smith - Home has many of the historical and biographical basics.

On a personal note, I have a great respect and love for this Prophet of God. The Spirit has testified to my soul powerfully regarding his divine calling.
