The Book of Morom 1977, "Explanatory Introduction" states very specifically that the angel, Moroni, was an angel of light.
Here is the quote: "...In September, 1823, and at later times, Joseph Smith received visitations from Moroni, an angel of light,who revealed the resting place of the ancient record from which The Book of Mormon was afterward translated."
Why would the Mormon First Presidency use this term "angel of light"?
Did they know what they were saying? They must have because Mormon Apostle Bruce R. McConkie certainly did. McConkie wrote the widely read book, Mormon Doctrine, which has been printed by Bookcraft Press in Salt Lake City since the 1950's. In that book McConkie references the term "Angel of Light" with two words-SEE DEVIL!
