2026-01-25 **Invitation: *Duty of Cando ***This record establishes more than historical error. It establishes ethical failure. The issue is no longer whether Joseph Smith’s foundational truth claims withstand scrutiny; the issue is whether modern Church leaders have met their duty of candor once those claims demonstrably failed.
First, when DNA evidence decisively contradicted the Book of Mormon’s long-taught claim that Native Americans were the Lamanite descendants of Israelite migrants.
Second, long before DNA forced retreat, senior Church leadership had already been warned internally. B. H. Roberts the Church historian, identified Ethan Smith’s View of the Hebrews as a “serious menace” to the Book of Mormon’s claimed ancient origins
Third—and most decisively—the Book of Abraham represents a direct, testable failure that modern leaders cannot plausibly dismiss. When the papyri Joseph Smith claimed to translate were returned to the Church in 1967, the Church possessed the very source material underlying one of its canonical scriptures. Those papyri have since been identified as standard Egyptian funerary texts (Book of Breathings) belonging to a man named Hor, dating to approximately 100 B.C.—nearly two millennia after the lifetime of Abraham.
