“For an item that is considered to be ‘scripture’, the Pearl of Great Price sure CHANGES around a lot!”
We believe in an open canon of scripture, so additions do not concern us. Someday there will further additions to our body of scripture, those might be additions to the D&C or PoGP, or even a new book altogether. Moving parts of it to the D&C, removing duplicated records and formating changes are hardly significant changes. Again you only show your deep desire to latch onto any excuset o heap scorn on us, no matter how invalid.
Indeed, the Proclamation to the World (http://www.lds.org/library/display/0,4945,161-1-11-1,00.html) is known in some LDS circles as “Section 139, pending.”
God gives His children more truth as they are prepared to receive it. Line upon line, precept on precept. We believe in modern revelation; it would be inconsistent for us to preclude the possibility of forthcoming scripture.
If this thread were in the RELIGION area, this kind of attributing motive would NOT be allowed!
Wanna move there??
