Joseph Smith History, 1:33-34; “The Angel called me by name, and said unto me that he was a messenger sent from the presence of God to me, and that his name was Moroni; that God had a work for me to do.”
“He said there was a book deposited, written upon gold plates, giving an account of the former inhabitants of this continent and the source from whence they sprang.”
Encyclopedia of Joseph Smith’s Teachings, pg 336; “The remnant [of Book of Mormon peoples] are the Indians that now inhabit this country. (Joseph Smith, History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 7 Vols. 4:538).”
So are the Lamanites/Indians the former inhabitants or the current inhabitants? How can they be the former inhabitants and still be here? This is when the words of Paul are so important!
Galatians 1:6-8; “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed”.
