| But then how come the Natives did not use writing as method of commuication from generation to generation? If they came here with books or written ariticles why did they give up "writing" and did not have any books? |
This is answered in the book.Simply put they rejected the records and followed after their own precepts.
Faith is a prerequisite to know the truth, it is given earlier in the book why.
"And now, how much more cursed is he that knoweth the will of God and doeth it not, than he that only believeth, or only hath cause to believe, and falleth into transgression?"

If you do not have faith, or a desire to know the truth it will not be given to you. It is far from circular, twist it as you may.

Would you contact or know of the holy ghost if the book had not been written?
