Sorry; but when literally THOUSANDS of folks have done EXACTLY as your organization claims should be done, they come away with a DIFFERENT answer, which you then claim was not done correctly.
Sounds like the elusive Tooth Fairy Syndrome.
Good point. When millions of others have done so and received confirmation of the truth, there is obviously something to it, isn’t there? But why as you say, are thousands of others not given such confirmation?
Don’t forget that the James reference I posted earlier is the key. We can’t simply ask, there are things we must to. (Yes, I know it’s shocking, but it’s called works!! - Scandalous!)
Let’s look again at what both James and Moroni say:
James 1:
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Moroni 10:
4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.
True faith is the key, it always has been, that's how the Lord works. Without faith, nothing is accomplished. Reading the book of Mormon with a scoff in your heart is not showing any faith at all, and not living the commandments because one doesn't believe in "works" is not putting forth the effort required to receive the right answers. I will close with these words from the Savior:
John 7: 17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
