      The first and third adjectives are up for some debate, but the second compensates.
      "If God has given [his people] such joy now, joy in their faith, in their hope, in love, in the truth of his scriptures, what kind of joy is he preparing for them at the end? If he feeds them like this on the journey, how will he feast them in their homeland?"
      --Augustine of Hippo

      Good answer, IMO. For a little more detail, I also liked this guy's apologetics blog:

      http://answeringthecritics.blogspot....-calf-and.html

      and the comments below add an idea that I had never thought of:

      Pres. Haines noted that there are two important meanings attached to the statue of Angel Moroni. "First, [Moroni] is a key figure in the restoration of the Church." He then explained Moroni's role in heralding in the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon. Second, Pres. Haines explained, "as a prophet of the Book of Mormon, Moroni represents a message of joy, happiness, peace, refuge and comfort."

      Re: The Purpose of the Angel Statue on the Temple

      OK, from that arcticle, Jeff.... this...


      It is interesting to note, then, that Solomon's Temple also contained gold-leafed statues of angels. These were the "cherubim" that rested upon the Mercy Seat, the lid of the Ark of the Covenant. Like the Angel Moroni statues, they were part of the Temple, represented angels, were not made of gold but "overlaid" with gold, and had no ceremonial function (1 Kings 6:23-28; 2 Chronicles 3:10). Which, then, is more closely related to the figures of the Angel Moroni--the idolatrous golden calf or the cherubim from Solomon's Temple?



      Sounds pretty reasonable*. You're in agreement with this?



      *Obviously, I still don't believe Moroni was a real angel, but that's not the point here.

      Yeah, I read it before posting it, and it made sense to me so I agree with its reasoning.
