I don’t expect that I, or any Latter-day Saint could prove any of the claims our Church makes.
All we can do is present the doctrines, and ask people to study and pray about them. I believe that God can provide confirmation of the truths that are presented to those who ask in faith and sincerity through the power of the Holy Ghost.
This was how I came to become a Mormon.
Glad you made a distinction there. But proof is possible norman - show us where all these bom cities and archaeological finds in the New World are.
I’m sorry that you have allowed yourself to be deceived.

But God does not tell us to pray about doctrine or even the Bible. Our feelings can and do lie to us.
Instead, we are commanded to search the scriptures (meaning Bible) and compare doctrines to the Bible. The LDS fail to do that.
I did study and research and ponder and that is why I am a Christian and no longer a Mormon.
We believe that SATAN can provide FALSE information that people are deceived by.
I recall a story of a SINLESS woman who believed his lies...
...The rest is history.
"I don’t expect that I, or any Latter-day Saint could prove any of the claims our Church makes."
Why then, do Mormons go around claiming they are the "only true church" if you can't prove any of the claims the church or its members make?
Yet, many mormons don't even know the doctrines of their own church.
Like what happens to apostates?
All have placed their faith in a man, Joseph Smith.
Joseph Smith is the sandy foundation upon which mormonism is built. He was not a man of virtue, morals or values. Everything he claimed is in question because of those and his false prophecies.
