Certainly the so-called "cave" or room where Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery saw "wagon loads" of plates when returning the translated plates entrusted to Joseph Smith, was not in Cumorah, a drumlin hill of gravel moraine, which would be incapable of supporting any type of cave. Obviously, they were in an area that had been opened to their mind in a type of vision, in which they replaced the plates they carried back and returned.Delhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08982095508142923740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-47438014471681211242018-11-03T07:03:04.842-07:002018-11-03T07:03:04.842-07:00Moroni 6:6

The plates Moroni had and that were later shown to Joseph buried in an unnamed hill in upstate NY, were never said to have been in the hill Cumorah! As McNirom correctly pointed out, the scriptures never say where those plates were buried. I think too many people only give Mormon 6:6 a cursory read and think the plates were buried in hill Cumorah. In fact they say the opposite- the plates obtained by Joseph were not hid up in the hill Cumorah by Mormon. <br />We do not know where Moroni buried up those plates. Of course it is possible Moroni later buried his plates in the hill Cumorah with the plates his father Mormon previously buried - but unlikely and certainly never even implied in the scriptures. (And if Moroni had gone back and buried the plates in the hill Cumorah with the plates Mormon had buried- where di Mormons plates disappear to? Why didn't Joseph find them next to Moroni's plates?-- the logical answer is because Mormons plates were hid up in the original hill Cumorah and Moroni's plates were later hid up elsewhere ).

We only know where they were at the time that Moroni showed Joseph Smith a location on a drumlin hill in New York near the Smith home.MrNiromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963388782323242196noreply@blogger.com
