Although we may not see Him, we can know that Jesus is the Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, by the witness of the Holy Ghost.

Likewise, we can know that the Book of Mormon is true, not by seeing the golden plates, but by the witness of the Holy Ghost.

So, are you claiming that the golden plates were/are as real as Jesus Christ?

Thanks for clearing that up. The continual attempt by mormonism to downgrade Christ to fit the mormon template is really obvious in some posts here.

Mormonism claims "He WAS just a man who had to "work His way up" to Godhood.

Jesu Christ and the plates are real, yes. However, Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God; the plates are inanimate objects on which was engraved a record of God's dealing with human beings.

Now you are getting silly. To say that A is as real as B is not to "downgrade" either A or B.
