Brigham young was apostate.
He walked away from the church joseph smith made and went west to establish his own fifedom. BY DEFINITION he apostasized.
Joseph Smith (the utah mormons admit) said joseph smith III (his son) would be the next president of HIS church, not bringum young.
young was an apostate.
Mormon false prophet versus Mormon false prophet, both named smith

People can be wrong, even if they have Smith, Jones, or Martin as their last name.
You still have offered ZERO reasons to believe young was not apostate when he left emma smith and joseph smith III whom YOUR FALSE PROPHET said God chose to be the next president of God's church? Do you think God lied? Or was it joey smith who lied? Or was it young who LEFT (the definition of 'apostasize') and went west?
Of COURSE you claim young was not apostate. OF COURSE the rlds says otherwise. Smith versus smith. . .false prophet versus false prophet.
A house divided against itself cannot stand.
The mormon religion is slowly sinking. . .
their god 'musta got it wrong. . .'

Emma Smith was traumatized and declined to go along with the church on its exodus to the West--which Joseph had seen the TRUE church doing in a vision--and her son ended up joining the splinter church after it offered him the ***le of "president" as a bribe.
Bribe? Let's see now. . .wasn't her son an INFANT when bringum young went west? Wasn't her son brought up to be the next president of the church joey smith had built as joey smith II's god had TOLD HIM would happen?
A majority of the apostles appointed Young as the 2nd president of the LDS church, based on revelation and on Joseph's teaching that the apostles choose successors from among worthy candidates. JS 3 wasn't a worthy candidate at the time a successor was needed. He was just a kid.
So your god musta got it wrong when he told joey smith II that HIS SON would be the next president of HIS church, huh?
"Apostasia" is a Greek word meaning "to REBEL." It connotes revolution against the parent organization.
No, it does not. It simply means
* apostasia, apostasias, hee
a falling away, defection, apostasy
(from Thayer's Greek Lexicon, Electronic Database. Copyright © 2000, 2003, 2006 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.)
apostasia (ap-os-tas-ee'-ah); feminine of the same as NT:647; defection from truth (properly, the state) ["apostasy"]:

Literally a 'falling away', or a 'DEFECTION.' You have to 'read into it' anything about 'REBELLION,' although bringum young DID rebel against smith's church AND his supposed reveleation from your god that joe smith III would be the next president of HIS church.
If you already know my answers, why pretend to ask questions such as "Do you think God lied?" ?
Using that pathetic logic, both Protestantism and Catholocism are demonic churches of the devil, since they had major arguments over the direction Christianity should go, one of them (Protestantism) rebelled and broke off from the parent church, started its own churches, and continued to grow further apart. False church versus false church means that both are false, according to you pathetic logic.[/QUOTE]
