And we also testify that we have seeen [sic] the engravings which are upon the plates; and they have been shewn unto us by the power of God, and not of man.

so IOW nobody actually ever saw the “engravings” or the “plates” with their own eyes ???
so unlike the LORD Jesus Christ who said “look at me with your own eyes, handle me touch me”
Now Elsie if God said it was OK to see Him who is God and to touch Him, wouldn’t you think if something was of God a body could also see and touch it ???
especially if it was right there with ya in the house ???
after all the veil has been torn down and there aint any veil anymore...
we get to go in and see for ourselves...
but of course this is Mormonism , the secret society religion...
