The scriptures tell us that no unclean thing can be in God’s presence. That being the case, what does this say about the Father and the Son appearing to the boy, Joseph Smith? Kneeling there in that sacred grove, a place of solitude, was a pure 14-year-old boy. He went there with a burning desire to know, to be forgiven of his sins, to obtain direction, and to be good. He went there repenting. He was clean. He was pure, or God could not have come to him.
