You are asserting that God’s Spirit would affirm as true a book of fictional places, fictional people, and fictional events.

No, I am saying that God would not affirm something to be true unless it is true.

and on what basis is it 'affirmed' - subjective yes?

God 'affirmed' to smith to send his folks to canada (iirc) and the copywrite to the bom would be sold for a lot of money. Never happened, yet smith had it affirmed by God.

And since the B of M is fiction—not one shred of evidence for the people the places or the events—we can safely assert that God did not affirm the fiction as true. Now the god of Momronism might have done so, and we have ample definition of the god of Mormonism from Joseph Smith’s teachings on that subject and subsequent teaching from follow-up ‘prophets’ of Mormonism. But their teaching doesn’t magically make the fiction become real people or real events or real places. The God fo Abraham is not the author of confusion or deceit. The God of Abraham and Isaac did not affirm the fictional fantasies of Joseph Smith, but I am getting a strong hint of whom did and does affirm these fictions as if truths.

So then; you AGREE that GOD has hidden ALL of the artifacts, cities, animal bones and peoples described in the BoM?
