TO DAVE HANSEN: Kevin raises an important question here. I hope you do not overlook it amongst your many emails. He quotes one of your apostles as saying:
"Now, obviously, the only way a dead people could speak 'out of the ground' or 'low out of the dust' would be by the written word, and this the people did through the Book of Mormon. Truly it has a familiar spirit, for it contains the words of the prophets of the God of Israel." LeGrand Richards, A Marvelous Work and A Wonder, p. 69. Then Kevin wrote: It is an easy question to answer. Does the Church teach that the Book of Mormon has a Familiar Spirit? Check one: YES NO If you don't have time to answer, maybe Blaine can answer it. Do either of you have this book by Richards that he mentions, "A Marvelous Work and a Wonder"? I searched for some more information and found it interesting that LeGrand Richards was one of the apostles involved in allowing blacks to function in the priesthood, primarily because of the large number of black Mormons in Brazil. Therefore, LeGrand Richards was responsible for adding additional Scripture to your holy writings. I would say that this makes him a pretty good authority to quote. Do you agree? Peace be with you.
