As in "Moroni?...is that you?" ha ha. I was curious if those quotes were from the Angel Moroni: According to Mormon belief, on the night of September 21, 1823, Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith, Jr. (who would later become the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement) and told him about the Golden Plates that were buried (in a stone box) a few miles from Smith's home. Over the course of the next six years, Moroni visited Smith at least 20 times. After translating a portion of the writing on the plates (either one-third or two-thirds; accounts vary) as the Book of Mormon, Smith turned the plates back over to Moroni.

No it was from 3 Nephi 11.

I feel many times we come across things that up set us and assume it as correctly given to us.

I think we have a responsibility to make sure the source does not have an ax to grind and is being forth right.

Half truths are dangerous because they are presented to damage anothers reputation.

Many of those things have been answered hundreds, if not thousands of times in the pass yet the author finds new ways to present them!
