On the other hand, I might want to select the next Car of the Year. I don’t belong to JD Power, so it isn’t going to happen for me. You’re not Catholic, so participating in the selection of the Pope isn’t going to happen for you either.

Didn’t Smith have a number of revelations? I read that there were 4 (or more) by the angel Moroni, in which he first revealed the existence of the plates, then he told Smith to wait before getting them, then he told him when to get them, then finally took them back. Question: did the Pearl of Great Price come from the plate?

Then, several other messengers came bearing the keys - priestly powers and consecrations, followed by John the Baptist, then Peter, James and John, and by 1836, Elijah, Moses and Jesus Christ had appeared. That’s quite a procession.

I didn’t mean that the Urim and Thummim were removed - I meant the plates. I tried to google up a picture of the Urim and Thummin and Google was not my friend. Do you have a link to pictures?

I am glad somebody got my analogy (I was beginning to wonder)

Didn’t Smith have a number of revelations?

Most of the D&C is made up of revelations to Joseph Smith.

Question: did the Pearl of Great Price come from the plate?

No, The Cover page for THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE says the following:

A SELECTION FROM THE REVELATIONS,
TRANSLATIONS, AND NARRATIONS OF
JOSEPH SMITH
FIRST PROPHET, SEER, AND REVELATOR TO
THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

Do you have a link to pictures?

To my knowledge, they have never been photographed, you can however find a description of them in the Bible as part of Aaron's temple clothing.

Here is a link to all the mentioning of the Urim and Thummim in the bible Urim and Thummim in the Bible
