Where can you get the original scriptures of Noah or Enoch?

As far as the Golden Plates they were return to the Lord God!

You believe the resurrections because of other testamonies how about your own which I do have by the power of the Holy Ghost!

I'm not worried about the Scriptures of Noah and Enoch. My point was, I've seen first hand evidence that supports the existence of the Torah. The scrolls are a thousand years old, roughly.

As far as the Golden Plates they were return to the Lord God!

Oh. Well, then there's no way Joseph Smith made the whole thing up!

You believe the resurrections because of other testamonies how about your own which I do have by the power of the Holy Ghost!

(Pssst. A comma would be helpful now and then.)You're twisting my words, or at least making an incorrect inference. I made the statement about the resurrection because you earlier said that I didn't know why I believed what I believed. And you made that statement having no clue about my upbringing, scholarship, faith, denomination, etc.

I offered that starting point, because I've used it before when asked by non-believers what the basis of my faith is.

I believe Christ was born of a virgin, walked as a man and led a sinless life. He died on the cross to save me from the penalty of my sins, because no matter what I do, "There is not one righteous, not even one." He rose on the third day and appeared before thousands over the next forty days. He ascended to heaven and sits at the right hand of God.

That is my "testimony," to use your word. How else did it come to me but by the Holy Spirit?

I don't believe in the word of one man from New York who stole other men's wives, any more than I believe the words of a murdering pedophile named Mohammed.
