As the Holy Spirit bears witness, and as I bear witness, that book (the Doctrine and Covenants) contains the words of Jesus Christ in the first person, spoken to His modern-day apostle, written down and canonized by His Restored Church, whose members are Christians.If that does not have authority with some other Christians, what can I say? It certainly should.

Much is made in LDS doctrine (almost as a trump card, "We have a living prophet, youuuuu don't!") about how important it is to have a living prophet...LDS constantly cite the one passage from the book of Amos on this. Can you tell me exactly how many words your "living prophet" has passed on the direct words of Jesus or Elohim since 1890? (A rough round # will do).

Your #138 and Alex's #140:

Jesus had given signs and wonders aplenty, yet the doubters still asked for a sign. Jesus has given a lot of Scripture to the world in the latter days, should you not receive it first, before you insist on more?

The Lord gives frequent guidance to His apostles today without asking them to publish and canonize it.
