Did a type of lizard tell Joseph smith the location of the golden tablets?
Um... no, that's probably the weirdest rumor about the LDS church I've ever heard. An angel named Moroni, the prophet who hid the gold plates before he died, told Joseph Smith where they were. There is the case of the "Salamander letters", created by con man Mark Hoffman, which letters were allegedly written by Joseph Smith and purported to identify that Moroni had come in the form of a salamander to visit Joseph Smith. However, the Salamander letters were later proven to be forged.
Who was mormon's father in the book of Mormon?
There are two men named Moroni in the Book of Mormon. One is the Captain Moroni. We are never told who his father is. He is first introduced in Alma 43:16 at the age of 25.The second Moroni is the one who became the Angel Moroni. His father was Mormon, the man who compiled the Book of Mormon.
Who is Morani?
Moroni, according to the Book of Mormon, was the last Nephite prophet and military commander who lived in North America in the late fourth and early fifth centuries. Latter-day Saint theology can be interpreted to mean that after his death Moroni was resurrected and became an angel. In addition to the Book of Mormon account, Joseph Smith and the Three Witnesses also testified they saw Moroni in the form of an angel of light.
How tall is Angel Moroni?
No description of the actual Angel Moroni's heighth exists.
Que angel visito a joseph smith?
Joseph Smith was visited by many angels throughout his lifetime. The most commonly discussed is Moroni, who taught him and gave him the gold plates to translate into the Book of Mormon. Joseph recorded at least 20 visits from the angel Moroni. Joseph Smith was also visited by God the Father, Jesus Christ, Adam, Abraham, Moses, Elias, Elijah, Peter, James, John, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Seth, Enoch, Issac, Jacob, John the Baptist, and Nephi. He saw in vision the twelve Apostles, the early Christian martyrs, his brother Alvin, ancient inhabitants of America, and future events.
Did anyone actually see the alleged angel Moroni's spacecraft?
The angel Moroni doesn't have a spacecraft.
Did the alleged angel Moroni actually have visible wings?
No. There is no record of him having wings. According to Mormon belief, no angels have wings; they are resurrected people who formerly lived on this earth and appear just as mortal people do, although typically dressed in white robes. Check out the "Related Links" to see artists renderings of the Angel Moroni based on Joseph Smith's descriptions of him.
Who is the angel on top of the Mormon tabernacle?
The Angel Moroni typically faces east. Presumably this is symbolic of Moroni heralding the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, who will come from the east (Matthew 24:27). Not all Moroni statues face east, however. One exception is the Angel Moroni atop the Nauvoo, Illinois Temple. This angel faces to the West in commemoration of the Saints' Trek to the Great Salt Lake Valley from Nauvoo. Other Moroni statues that do not face east are: Accra Ghana (NorthEast); Anchorage Alaska (NorthEast); Apia Samoa (SouthWest); Boise Idaho (South); Buenos Aires Argentina (SouthEast); Chicago Illinois (North); Dallas Texas (South); Johannesburg South Africa (South); Kona Hawaii (NorthEast); London England (South); Manhattan New York (SouthWest); Manila Philippines (West); Mexico City Mexico (south); Nuku'Alofa Tonga (West); Oaxaca Mexico (SouthEast); St. Louis Missouri (South); Santiago Chile (South); Seattle Washington (West); Seoul Korea (south); Stockholm Sweden (south); Suva Fiji (south); Taipei Taiwan (west); and Veracruz Mexico (west). Temples with no Angel Moroni statue are Cardston Alberta; Hamilton New Zealand; Laie Hawaii; Logan Utah; Manti Utah; Oakland California; and St. George Utah.
Where did Joseph smith find the plates?
Joseph Smith was lead to the hill near his home by the angel Moroni, who showed him where the plates were buried. The hill did not have a name at the time. Mormons call the hill Cumorah, because the Book of Mormon says that the plates were buried by Moroni in the hill Cumorah. Non-Mormons often call the hill "Mormon Hill" or "Gold Bible Hill".
Where did the angel of Moroni come from?
Moroni was originally a man found in the Book of Mormon. There are two mentioned there. One who is a military captain, and another who is the son of Mormon (the man who compiled the Book of Mormon). Angel Moroni is Moroni, son of Mormon. This Moroni is the last prophet of the Book of Mormon, who lived in about 421 a.d. As the last rememaining prophet before all the world went apostate (the Christians in the Old World had already fallen away by this time), it was his duty to restore what was lost to these latter days. He did so by returning to the earth as an angel, teaching Joseph Smith and giving him the Book of Mormon. A statue of the Angel Moroni is found on the majority of the Temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as he has become a symbol of the restoration of ancient truths.
Where is this ancient record that Joseph smith found?
The ancient record that was translated by Joseph Smith is now published as the Book of Mormon. He also translated a much smaller and lesser-known ancient record that is published among Mormon scripture in the Pearl of Great Price as the Book of Abraham. The actual metal plates which he translated into the Book of Mormon were taken into heaven by the angel Moroni, which lead him to them in the first place.
Which heavenly messengers visited Joseph Smith?
As Joseph Smith reports it:After the visit of God, the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, the next Heavenly messenger was the angel, Moroni.As Moroni had been the last prophet who had held it in his possession on the earth [1000s years earlier] and as it was his father, Mormon, who had carried out most of the abridgment of the Book of Mormon, it was he (Moroni) who was given the assignment to visit Joseph and show him where he had placed the plates.Then, later, because there was no one upon the earth with the authority to restore the original Church, John the Baptist came to earth to bestowe upon Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery the Aaronic Priesthood (Or the Lesser Priestood). Later Peter, James and John conferred upon them the keys to the Melchizedek (or Greater) Priesthood. These returned "Priesthoods" meant that Joseph then held both, the authority and the Keys, to restore the Church of Jesus Christ back to the earth.A bunch of these Heavenly messengers include:God, the Father.His Son, Jesus Christ.Moroni, an ancient American prophet, now resurrected.John the BaptistPeter, James & John from the New Testament.MosesElijahEliasApparently Adam & Noah also came at some point, and perhaps more than once.Good question. Hope that's helpful.
