to verify any of Smith's claims?
Why has he left the mormons on their own and not provided any verification for Smith's claims?
Why does he leave people to blindly accept a known con man's word that he appeared to him?
His absence speaks volumes.
Then before the Mormons get on here and claim that God of the bible does not send angels to his people, I should forewarn them that he does and many missionaries have experienced their protection. I remember one true story where the natives were going to attack a missionary and his family. The missionaries waited all night to be killed, yet the natives did not attack.
Only later did the chief explain why they did not attack. He asked who were those men in white sitting on the missionaries' roof?
So if moroni was real...
