Knowledge is indeed a great thing to have, this is true, but it is not always needed in scripture, yes we should read the scriptures, but there are those that are unable to study them.
Do you think because some are blind some are severely handicapped that heavenly father would deny them a testimony, no he wouldent, this truth would come from the holy spirit.
As i have said before, no matter how much one reads this does not make him or her an authority on heavenly father, this Authority comes through the power of the Holy Ghost, the only sure way of knowing if the things that are written in that great book, the book of mormon is by the holy spirit. sometimes i personally feel that some folk forget just how powerful this spirit is, and why he is with us.
When we have a true Testimony of him, nobody, however versed for or against the Book of Mormon is going to change a thing. The more people try to sway our beliefs with their supposed knowledge of " OUR " church the stronger The Holy spirit kicks in and holds us fast, thus the only thing they have achieved is to strenghthen our testimony.
