Does the Book of Mormon not teach and testify of Christ and His atonement enough for you? Or is it overkill? Too much testimony/teaching in regards to the Savior and His mission?

I have a seer stone here which contains a Third testament of Jesus Christ, when he visited the Zeegramites in Antarctica about 40,000 years ago. It tells the fascinating story of a group of Muslims who received instructions to build a time machine and settle the frosty wilderness. Of course, they grew prideful and half of them had their skin turned green (to indicate wickedness). Fortunately Jesus showed up, set off some volcanoes, and then gave his best hits with a 3rd telling of the sermon on the mount. All of this was recorded on sheets of ice buried in the snow in a glacier called Glacmora, which I found next to my house after seeing an angel the other night.
How are things in Glacmora?

Redundancy is not a sign of literary achievement.
What would meet your qualifications then of what is an acceptable level of “literary achievement” that could be expected with Joseph Smith as translator? And if those expectations aren’t met what impact/effect does that have on its teachings/message?

Nothing anyone says will convince a true believer that J.S. could have produced what he did on his own. Claiming J.S. could not of done something is the worst kind of argument from ignorance in that it assumes those using such a weak defense actually know the limitations of a historical figure from 200 years ago. They don't.

Hi FS,
You’re right. We don’t have a complete view of historical figures from the past. None of us do, including you. What we do have, at least in the case of Joseph Smith, is a book that he left us. We are left to determine whether he was telling the truth or not about that book and it’s origins.

Your views of a “weak defense” are yours. Others have differing views.

For readers of the Meridian Magazine, it can be a powerful testimony when paired with Uranus.
