The apostles weren't afraid.
Also super tones has a point. They were under constant threat of execution and still preached under Gods protection so why didn’t Joseph Smith
I can't answer anything else today because I need to go to bed because I have school tomorrow

@hyperiacob
Not only this, but if God just showed everyone the answers to everything, then why have us be here?
To spread the word and build his kingdom
Not hide it
You can spread the word and His kingdom, however, it is so that he can spread it through faith and experience. The knowledge we gain on earth through our trials and choices we make
Its goes against the foundation of God, God man us to build a relationship with us not hide a piece of important that can help build the relationship with him
I believe God would want people of quality rather than quantity, though he loves us all so much, He has given us agency as a gift and will never take that away from us...if that makes sense.
Then why take away the golden plates?
So that people can be tried in faith.
And to me people of quality seek the truth and if there isn’t enough evidence to prove Joseph Smith is telling the truth then I’m not gonna believe it.
Otherwise, there would be none.
But, shouldn't we have a rational faith based on evidence?
If that is your beliefs, then so be it. But know that God is perfect and all knowing, so if God knows that quality can be brought through faith and trials, that's what I will believe.
"Faith is things which are hoped for and not seen."
That depends.
"Wherefore disput not because ye see not, for ye recieve no witness until after the trial of your faith."
Yeah joesph Smith claims a angel came and showed him new scriptures and I say this verse once more because its important
which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:7-9
Ah, but here this.
That was talking about that book.
The book of galatians.
Not the Bible.
No? It's clear talking about the bible
It says in this book
man I cant type
It’s says the gospel of Christ, that’s the Bible not just Galatians
You also must know that things in the Bible have been re-worded and misinterpreted by translators through time.
