"The earliest Morman accounts state that Smith's 1823 epiphany was the nocturnal visit of a spirit three times in a dream." Early Mormonism and the Magic World View by D. Michael Quinn, p. 114.
Note this was not a daytime vision, but a nighttime dream. Later official Church narratives later changed the word "dream" to "vision".

The angel Nephimoron?

1

Yup it also fails to mention that at the time of the "Vision" in Joseph's bedroom he had his brothers sleeping in there with him, who neither saw nor heard anything and were not woken by Joseph in order that he could tell them about it.
Strange too that in every picture of Joseph's nocturnal visits none of this is shown, and that Joseph claimed the "angel" who visited him was Named NEPHI until a few years later he changed his mind and said the Angel was called MORONI

An 1842 The Times and Seasons Vol. III pp. 749, 753 a publication edited by Joseph Smith recounting the miraculous visitation says, "When I first looked upon him I was afraid, but the fear soon left me. He called me by name, and said unto me that he was a messenger sent from the presence of God to me, and that his name was Nephi. "Joseph Smith lived for two years after the name "Nephi" was printed in Times and Seasons and he never published a retraction.

It was when Orson Pratt "published The Pearl of Great Price in 1878, that he removed the name of Nephi from the text entirely and inserted the name Moroni in its place" and so it has remained ever since.

This is all easily available information and proof that the SCC LIES consistently and culpably.
