Several times in recent weeks the suggestion has been made on the site that all of the teachings and scriptures unique to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are dependent on one source - Joseph Smith - and that had he not existed (or not made the choices he did), none of these teachings, principles, or scriptures would exist.
The claim that these teachings come from a single individual is given as a reason to challenge their authenticity.
This suggestion is regularly met with corrective comments - it would be helpful to have a post on the site to reference which addresses the matter specifically.
