Likewise, concerning all these changes of which I will speak, I know that these changes were made. The alleged order of events as you suggest is as follows:1. This chapter was combined with chapter 47 in D&C. 27:6 And also with Elias, to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days; 27:7 And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias) visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John, and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; 27:8 Which John I have sent unto you, my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priesthood which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron; 27:9 And also Elijah, unto whom I have committed the keys of the power of turning the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to the fathers, that the whole earth may not be smitten with a curse; 27:10 And also with Joseph and Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham, your fathers, by whom the promises remain; 27:11 And also with Michael, or Adam, the father of all, the prince of all, the ancient of days; 27:12 And also with Peter, and James, and John, whom I have sent unto you, by whom I have ordained you and confirmed you to be apostles, and especial witnesses of my name, and bear the keys of your ministry and of the same things which I revealed unto them; 27:13 Unto whom I have committed the keys of my kingdom, and a dispensation of the gospel for the last times; and for the fulness of times, in the which I will gather together in one all things, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; 27:14 And also with all those whom my Father hath given me out of the world. Part 3, The Gentiles and the Gathering of the Righteous Seed and the Dispersed of the House of Israel. Part 4, The Gentiles and the Gathering of the Righteous Seed and the Dispersed of the House of Israel. 16 [today it is Sec. The Book of Commandments is the earliest published volume said to contain the revelations of Joseph Smith Jr. As you can tell, I come from a LDS viewpoint and know that polygamy is still believed in the LDS church (abominably) and practiced with "Celestial Sealings" in all LDS Temples of men to many wives (divorced or dead), whereas women are still 2nd class citizens aka possessions. As indicated in my blog post, please read the pamphlet, Book of Commandments Versus the Doctrine and Covenants, reviewed by President Joseph Smith, III, which is a cursory presentation of the subject and the book, Our Beliefs Defended, by Apostle J. F. Curtis. According to Curtis' book, Cowdery, Whitmer, and Phelps did compare the originals with the copies after they returned to Kirtland. Alma, after giving a great message to the Saints about being born again and the need for them to experience a “mighty change” in their hearts, sealed his teaching with his testimony in these words: “And this is not all. 4., Par. Then all things shall be made known unto us. We each need to get our own testimony of the Book of Mormon through the Holy Ghost. Everyone in the church at this time was satisfied that DC was the correct representation of Joseph's revelations. It is quite revealing what he said about going ahead of the written word. They agree more closely with the Book of Commandments than with the D & C. I was permitted to make photostats of the microfiche of the original handwritten revelation of what is now section 42 in the RLDS D & C and have them in my possession at this time. But no matter what, the fact remains that many of the revelations were tampered with and it begs the question, why? It is given to them in the pre-mortal life. The bringing forth of these sacred volumes of scripture “for the salvation of a ruined world” cost “the best blood of the nineteenth century”—that of Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum (D&C 135:6). 7:5 I say unto thee, Peter, this was a good desire; but my beloved has desired that he might do more, or a greater work yet among men than what he has before done.
