First Vision Accounts

There exist four distinct narratives of the First Vision as relayed by Joseph Smith. LDS critics/Anti-Mormons argue that these accounts contradict one another, therefore invalidating Joseph's prophetic claim. Nevertheless, upon closer examination, it becomes evident that the core message of each account remains consistent, with variations arising only in the details. This is akin to the four Gospels, which communicate the same fundamental message but diverge in particulars. Multiple versions of the First Vision is just one more attempt by LDS critics to increase the number of people who are more likely to donate to them
