However, the issue isn't so much that God doesn't reveal all truth, but that so many early church leaders taught (and still teach) as truth things that are wrong.
For a people so interested in truth, and a church that is run by prophets that receive God's word, how could that happen?
The Articles of Faith teach us that the Lord "will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God" (A of F 1:9).
Joseph Smith and other prophets have made statements that indicated that certain Biblical events were indeed historical and not merely parables.If some of the events taught as unquestionably true, literal, historical events by the LDS prophets and the Church in general can be shown to be much more likely to be fables or parables, then this presents a problem for those that claim with authority that they are literally true, historical events.In addition to the claims and teachings of the leaders of the Church, many LDS-specific scriptures verify that many of these things are literal events.Of course, there are still many people that believe in the literal interpretation of these events.However, more people are questioning their historical accuracy due to scientific reasoning, testing, and discovery.
