Below are my notes of why I don’t believe D&C (1844 105) (LDS 127) (RLDS 109) is authentic. During Scripture Study 2023-03-13 I go over these reasons and explain them.
1) some words don’t seem like they are from JS
2) are we called to perils or called to keep YHWH’s law, Mosiah 2-5 brings out we are called to keep YHWH’s law. Job brings out perils happen because of the wicked.
2) who is JS supposedly writing to in the letter, the church or other believers, if so why is JS staying if you believe I’m called for good or evil?
2) deep water is symbolic of chaos and the world, and YHWH does not call us to swim in it, He calls us to part it as Moses, or to walk on it as with Peter, and one of JS last dreams JS walked on water.
4) other scriptures don’t call the building they are working on a temple, it calls it a house of YHWH, and yes there is a difference.
4) double your efforts and work, to me that is not how YHWH talks but He would say do what is required not just do some more.
5) BoM teaches against LDS / Brighamite baptisms of the dead.
6) baptized for your dead, this is different what baptism of the dead in the NT, in Hebrew thought when we sin we have died because the wages of sin is death
7) contradicts what the sealing power is
8) how is doing the false baptisms for the dead correctly connected to restoring more?
9) the word temple is not used in previous sections for the building being built.
9) from generation to generation, so where are all the records of past generations and their work done? If we can’t find them, does that mean heaven doesn’t acknowledge that happened?
10) YHWH wants JS to address the world about baptisms for the dead, but can’t make it happen, contrary to 1 Nephi 3:7, Abinadi teaching king Noah and the wicked priests is one of many examples that YHWH has the power to have his messengers preach even when the world tries to prevent it.
11) Satan has been alert for a long time, for one lets look at the 116 pages.
12) JS knew at this time that there were deceivers amongst the church, D&C 50 is one of many examples.
