“The Book of Mormon is no fake. I know what I know. I have seen what I have seen and I have heard what I have heard. I have seen the gold plates from which the Book of Mormon is written. An angel appeared to me and others and testified to the truthfulness of the record, and had I been willing to have perjured myself and sworn falsely to the testimony I now bear I could have been a rich man, but I could not have testified other than I have done and am now doing for these things are true.” KnowsMenHas BeensBookDoneRichRecordsWrittenHeardWillingBearsAngelGoldFakePlatesTestimonyCould Have BeenTruthfulnessRich Man Author:Martin Harris
