| − | ==Criticism==
| |
| − | The penalty for viewing the gold plates was death. This was just a way for Joseph to hide the fact that the plates really didn't exist.

| − | ==Response==
| |
| − | Joseph Smith-History 1:42 describes the conditions under which Joseph was to handle the plates:
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Again, he told me, that when I got those plates of which he had spoken—for the time that they should be obtained was not yet fulfilled—'''I should not show them to any person; neither the breastplate with the Urim and Thummim; only to those to whom I should be commanded to show them; if I did I should be destroyed'''. While he was conversing with me about the plates, the vision was opened to my mind that I could see the place where the plates were deposited, and that so clearly and distinctly that I knew the place again when I visited it. {{ea}}

| − | According to this, it was ''Joseph'' who risked destruction if he showed the plates to anyone unless explicitly commanded to do so by the Lord, ''not'' the person to whom he showed them.
