Perhaps I misunderstood your post when you said "And did you find a candidate from Joseph Smith's writing?? ..". I thought you were talking about the Book of Mormon.And where do you find a quote from them in what I posted in those two posts?
Matthew and Luke were written after Christ's death on the cross.Which is the same point the Jews themselves made in Luke 10 as I already pointed out.
The Matthew 22 and Luke 22 discussion of this point was all before the cross.
Just as Lev 19:18 and Deut 6:5 are before the cross.
the Matt 22 statement of Christ is that
"on these two commandments DEPEND the whole law AND the prophets" which is not a claim that "by these two commandments are the LAW and the prophets all deleted".
The firm foundation on which the house rests -- is not there to abolish the house.
Which is why Jesus and Paul keep quoting from the TEN as in Matt 19, and Romans 13, and Romans 7 as well as others like James in James 2.
No wonder then that we have this in Eph 6:1-2
Matthew and Luke were written after Christ's death on the cross.

I think he wanted quotes with the highlighted parts that match.
Joseph Smith did not write the Book of Mormon, he dictated it to his scribes as it was given to him by God. Most scholars believe that Paul used a scribe as revelation was given to him by God. That being said, the Book of Mormon had several authors as I mentioned.From whatever you consider to be written by Joseph Smith... if BoM then fine that will do.
I gave you complete freedom to pick whatever you want from what Joseph Smith wrote / authored ... etc.Joseph Smith did not write the Book of Mormon, he dictated it to his scribes as it was given to him by God.

Are you prepared to select something?

(Pearl of Great Price | Articles of Faith Preface:Heading - 1:13)
THE ARTICLES OF FAITH
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535–541
1 WE believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2 We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3 We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4 We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6 We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
JOSEPH SMITH.
I see it as being from the Bible and inspiration through the Holy Ghost.ok so then "your statement of beliefs" -- where did you see any of that in what I quoted as a "possible source"???

As I said God is not the author of the Book of Mormon, it was written by mant people.Since God is the author, there would not be grammar errors.
The articles of faith were not dictated.inspired does not mean dictated.
As I said God is not the author of the Book of Mormon, it was written by mant people.
Yes I read them both.
The candidates for the Book of Mormon are:
Nephi, Jacob, Enos, Jarom, Omni, Mormon, Mosiah, Alma, Helaman, Nephi the younger, Ether, Moroni' and others.

I believe those similarities I posted were about keeping the commandments. I was not trying to dispute or disagree, only to compare.Then you don't have anything that you find in what you posted that looks like it was used as a source for the text I posted?
How then do you compare the two examples since it appears the writing style and content are not even remotely the same? What is your purpose in comparing that section to what I posted?
Or do you know what I posted?

You posted from the book The Desire of Ages written by Ellen White. Daniel pointed out that there were similarities between Ellen White and Joseph Smith.
From the Joseph Smith history we see these similarities:
Mormonism's Joseph Smith and Ellen White
Ellen White and Joseph Smith – Ellen White Truth
Some people do not believe Ellen had a vision. I believe she did along with many other people. Hazen Foss and William E. Foy also claimed to have visions.
