The Protestant conceit is that you can read Scripture with the same clarity that Joseph Smith claimed to have read the scrolls he unearthed. You have no magical spectacles you can use to get into the minds of hearts of the authors of the Scriptures, and allow you to dismissed the trail of evidence, sometimes clear sometimes faint, that leads back to First Century Israel.
