How do you know? What does that mean? It's just something you feel? What incidents? You're right, if there's proof, we have no need of faith. If we need faith, why are things proved over time? How do you know we're here to have faith? How do any of these things support your knowledge that it's true? How do your babies dying confirm that? How does being sealed convince you that being sealed is required for salvation? How does your children being born make you realize a church is true that was not required for you to have babies, and that does not prevent other mothers from feeling something magical after seeing their babies for the first time? How does your dad dying prove to you that the church is true? I've felt a lot of wonderful things just like this doing things not related to the church, not in context of the church. I've felt joy in my soul when I learned someone kicked an alcohol habit, I cried when I read a book by Robert Frost, I love fresh pears off a tree, but that didn't convince me a certain book in a certain religion was true... just trying to connect the dots here. I think you feel because you get good feelings with the Book of Mormon and other things, and that someone told you it was true and that you'd get good feelings about it, that that makes the Book of Mormon true. So far this just seems to be about feelings.
