Mormons claim that after Jesus was resurrected from the dead in Israel, he traveled to America and set up his church in America (3 Nephi), yet we can't find even one piece of evidence of his visit in America. Where are the Nephites he promised would live forever that he allegedly ordained with priesthood authority (3 Nephi 28)?  Where is the apostle John (D&C 7) who was supposed to never die? Where is the archeological inscription that "Jesus was here" like the ones we find in Israel?

In this interview where a Mormon interviewed us Christians on the street during the Mormon General Conference of October 2023, we responded to the question of what we think of the Book of Mormon claims regarding apostacy and restoration. We explained that not only is the archaeological evidence lacking for Jesus visiting the Americas and planting His church here (3 Nephi), but if Mormon teachings are true that the three Nephites lived forever who Jesus ordained here, then there was no need for a restoration of the priesthood authority because it was never lost from the earth.
