If the "Urim and Thummim" were a pair of glasses which magically transformed the "Reformed Egyptian" words from the plates, why would the English for the words of Christ which Joseph Smith saw through the glasses, be word for word as found in the King James translation of the gospels? King James English was not the English spoken by people in Joseph Smith's day. Why would the "Urim and Thummim" not have given Joseph the current English?

Also, "Urim and Thummim" as found in the Old Testament, was not a pair of glasses, but a means of determining the mind of God, a bit like flipping a coin.

Man judges a person by his past deeds, and administers penalties for his wrongdoing. God judges a person by his present character, and disciplines him that he may become righteous.

Do you have any notion of how they traveled to N. America?

This group, eight years beyond leaving Jerusalem, left the continent by a ship they had built by the help of Jehovah. There first place was on an Island, we think just beyond the narrow neck of land where central and south america join. The plates did not end up in N.NE America until after 421AD. This is all within the abridgement itself. It is not figured by speculation.

Thanks for asking this kind of thing.
So, they crossed across the Atlantic Ocean around 421AD ? Did they return ?
