I suppose the best answer is because ancient prophets prophesied of him, and because he was "one of the noble and great ones who were chosen in the beginning to be rulers in the Church of God." (D&C 138:55) Joseph of Egypt prophesied that a man would bring forth a book who's name would be Joseph and who's father would also be named Joseph and that this man would be a decendant of him. This can be found in the Book of Mormon in 2 Nephi 3:6-15 Moses learned that in the last days a man would restore lost scripture. This is in Moses 1:40-41. Isaiah prophesied of Joseph Smith in Isaiah chapter 29. Malachi prophesied of Joseph Smith in Malachi 1:3 The Savior Himself told the Book of Mormon peoples about Joseph Smith in 3 Nephi chapter 21.
They believe He is the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. Most believe that He is God incarnate.
One opinion:No one of true Jewish ancestry will call a man God - prophets were chosen by God to carry the message for which they were sent and they will only say it as they were told it."We are not stoning you for any good work," they replied, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God." [John 10:33] i.e. John 10:30 "My Father and I are one"!
It was never prophesied that a man specifically called Judas would betray Christ, but Zechariah 11:12-13 mentions the ransom of thirty pieces of silver.
Yes there is a God the Mother that is prophesied in the bible to come in the last days as the bride of the lamb who is Jesus Christ
AnswerChristians say that Jesus came to fulfil the Old Testament. Jews said that Christians did not really understand their ancient scriptures, and that, while a good man, Jesus was not prophesied and was not really sent by God to fulfil the Old Testament.
