You must understand how we know our church is true. It is the Book of Mormon promise. Moroni in his final chapter gives us a recipe that we may know the truthfulness of the book of Mormon.

I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of god. I know Joseph Smith was a prophet of god. I know we have a living prophet.
Okay I read the "promise". It basically said if you have faith then then it will be revealed to you that his book is right, if you have no faith in Christ then you cannot know if the book is true or not, but "woe" for you will die in your sin and will not get to go to heaven.

And so, the promise is that if you do end up believing that the book of Mormn is the truth then that means you got faith, otherwise if you do not think the Mornon book is the truth then that is a sign your faith is lacking.

Meaning that according to how much faith you have in the Mormon book will determine if you have faith in the Holy Ghost, Christ, the Bible, and the promise of heaven in the afterlife.

So read the book and test your faith.

Ever study the concept of "cirular reasoning"?

However if I can contact a Holy Ghost to show me what to believe or what to do then why would I need also a book on that topic, If I can make direct contact with the Holy Host then why do I still need a middle man like Joesph Smith?

LSD people, answer that.
