The light of Christ cannot be extinguished by the acts of mortal man no matter how brutal times may have been. Men of Christ carried on, endured through the mayhem foist upon the rapidly growing faith by the evil one.
The word has never left us, Paul's lessons are what has built the modern church.
Seeking to take Amos and apply it to fit some prophecy in reverse, while an interesting aside, does not make it so.
When indeed there are none left who call themselves Christian, a day that may come, then Amos will have been fulfilled. The word still lives among the faithful, it has gone no where, and God did not turn his back and disappeard from this Earth.
An interesting contradiction for you. A few weeks ago on this very board, a July Fourth article by I believe your current LDS president, sung the virtues of the Founding Fathers, and discussed how inspired by God the Constitution was.
If what you say is true, that God abandoned us and we abandoned his word, and continued to do so, and that the Word was not restored until it was given back to J. Smith, then how can the Constitution be divinely inspired, some 40-50 years before the Word came back to man in the hands of the “prophet” Smith, before God came back to us?
That makes little sense, and it is from “the horses mouth” so to speak....
