I love your podcasts. Thank you for your sweet and detailed description of this complex topic . I would like to share my humble opinion about the “verbal description “ made by Joseph Smith in different times of his life, from a point of view of a Speech Therapist. 1_ Descrptions depends of the amount and richness of the personal vocabulary who describes. Considering that Joseph Smith was growing intellectually, physically , emotionally and spiritually through all the years after the first vision, Joseph was enriching and enlarging his language skills. 2- after having a vision, an unpaired experience in an unknown realm , it could be almost impossible to process the experience and choosing the right words to tell about. We need to process it. 3_ The human been language ir LINEAL, and in our daily experiences , several things happens at the same time. Hard to describe a simultaneous multiple events with a lineal language. 4- It make sense that Joseph made different accounts, considering that himself gained more knowledge and vocabulary after translating the Book Of Mormón, the Bible , the Pearl of Great Price and putting in words the revelations given by Jesus Christ during all those times. 5- Different audiences. The differences of having different accounts are so understandable. He did a great job!

Transcript #13:26 and 13:33 wasn’t it Martin Harris who lost the 116 pages and not Oliver Cowdery?

I (Mike) missed this in the edits and that’s my fault. Of course it was Martin that was responsible when the manuscript was stolen, what we call the “lost manuscript.” Bryce simply misspoke. Great catch. I apologize for missing that in the edit process and take full blame for missing that.

Do we really KNOW where God came from tho? Unless you mean He's always been??

[@talkingscripture]

We do. He went through the same system we are going through.
