"And just WHO where those 5%???"

Those chosen by the Lord.

"commanded me................ ok, just WHERE is this COMMAND??"

You make me laugh. Most all of the New Testement is an after the fact account just like OD1, and your attitude clearly shows that even if a direct quote from the Lord was provided to you, you will still attack it. You clearly have no respect for any part of the D&C when it is directly quoting the Lord, so complaining that OD1 doesn't says more about you than you probably realize.

OD1 is clear and sufficient for every member of the Church to establish that God commanded an end to the practice then. If you don't like the format or content, tough cookies, pleasing you isn't the objective.

Sorry about the him/her thing though, picking an effeminate name like that makes it an easy mistake to make. It was not deliberate and wont be deliberate the next time it happnes too. :)

Nope, it's more like............

 

.... that even if an alledgely direct quote from the Lord was provided to you, you will still attack question it in light of existing biblical writings.

 

Then, if it doesn't line up, I will NOT say, "Well, that part of my Bible must have been translated poorly."

And just HOW was this accomplished?  [RHIP, perhaps?]
