Thank you very much, this is just what I was looking for. I've been on the ancient American civilization train for a while, but it's becoming a dead end. Then I heard that your Church has an explanation but there was no one to ask. I met some missionaries but I already love Jesus and the 73 books we have in the Catholic Bible so not really their target audience. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, I'm looking forward to my new reading assignment. Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to you.

I appreciate it.
Keep in mind, I know of Christians who have accepted the Book of Mormon as inspired scripture while rejecting Joseph Smith and the claims of the LDS church.
I feel like I can speak for the entire LDS church in saying I'm fine with that. We only want to help people follow Jesus Christ, and if Jesus leads you into another church or a different path, praise God for it. We don't expect to be the only "saved" people, not by a long shot. If we're right, we're all going to heaven together as disciples of Christ.
I tried to write a long response to this but hit a button and it got deleted. I just wanted to say that Matthew 7:16 is how I feel about the LDS- you have much to be admired in our sad, broken and increasingly degenerate world. The greater Church, all of us, are under serious attack and not everyone is holding fast. It encourages me to see strong healthy families with faith and conviction such as found in LDS. And as a Catholic, it is painful to see my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ slandered. Basically all of Romans 14 addresses our differences and I wish we could all turn against our common enemy instead of in-fighting. Also I love Biblical Apocrypha especially when it relates to missing pieces from our canon. Even just the beginning of this Book is fascinating, can't wait to see how this lines up with forbidden archaeology.
