You are trying to twist away from it, but the idea that we hold his writing above the bible is not exactly true, they are more equal with the bible. Where the bible is silent and JS has received something from Jesus about that matter, then we take the words of Jesus through his prophet JS. This certainly is not idolatry. You have to worship something other than God himself to be idolatrous. Don't be silly. I hope you don't worship the bible above God? Do you?
Well we do not worship JS or any of his writing above God, even the bible. So again, come back to earth and quit saying JS is our God. That is a whopper of a lie.
I have no need to twist away from it. Just look at what you said I said. "Not exactly"--LOL! What do you call it when you say they are more accurate than the bible? It clearly means what it says---they are held in greater esteem for the are more accurate---which means they are more truthful. It is you who are "twisting"--not I. YOU DO NOT SAY THAT THE BIBLE TAKES PREDCEENCE OVER JS---YOU SAY WHERE THEY ARE CONTRADICTING---THE WORD OF JS IS THE REAL TRUTH. So you get real and quite with trying to say what you clearly do not teach.
I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam... Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet.” (

"
No man can accept Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world, no man can accept this as His church, the Church of Jesus Christ,
unless he can accept Joseph Smith as God's mouthpiece and the restorer of His work in these latter days."

God made Aaron to be the mouth piece for the children of Israel, and
He will make me be god to you in His stead, and the Elders to be mouth for me; and if you don't like it, you must lump it.

On July 13, 1862, Brigham Young preached:
I have taught for thirty years, and still teach, that he that believeth in his heart and confesseth with his mouth that Jesus is the Christ and that
Joseph Smith is his Prophet to this generation, is of God; and he that confesseth not that Jesus has come in the flesh
and sent Joseph Smith with the fulness of the Gospel to this generation, is not of God, but is
antichrist. All who confess that
Joseph Smith is sent of God in the latter days, to lay the foundation of his everlasting kingdom no more to be thrown down, and will continue to keep his commandments, are born of God. All those who believe in their hearts and confess with their months that
Joseph Smith is a true Prophet, at the same time trying with their might to live the holy principles
Joseph the Prophet has revealed, are in possession of the Holy Spirit of God and are entitled to a fullness.
