LDS apologist claim that Smith received direct revelation (not translation) is refuted by his own diary

A viewer asks about the LDS apologist argument that Smith received the Book of Abraham through 'direct revelation' rather than by literally reading and translating the hieroglyphs. Mike rebuts this by pointing to Smith's own diary and writings, where Smith specifically says he was 'translating characters and phrases' and 'getting the meaning' from the symbols. The diaries show Smith producing an Egyptian 'alphabet and grammar' and claiming those symbols meant specific things. Mike calls this 'deceitful and lying.'
