D&C RLDS 116

Notes of why I don’t believe D&C RLDS 116 is from YHWH Elohim.

1b Lo, it is my will that my gospel shall be preached to all nations in every land and that men of every tongue shall minister before me; 1c therefore, it is expedient in me that you ordain priests unto me of every race who receive the teachings of my law and become heirs according to the promise. 2a Be ye very careful, for many elders have been ordained unto me and are come under my condemnation, by reason of neglecting to lift up their voices in my cause; and for such there is tribulation and anguish;

1b-2a) It is the traveling twelve and traveling seventy that teaches the gospel to all nations. The list of the duties of priest in D&C (LDS 20) (RLDS17) (1833 24) (1835 2) (1844 2) and Moroni (LDS 4) (RLDS 4) have to do with the organized branches of the church and nothing to do with non-believers.

2b haply they themselves may be saved (if doing no evil) though their glory, which is given for their works, be withheld or, in other words, their works are burned, not being profitable unto me.

2b) We are saved by Yeshua’s grace by His merits not our own.

3a Loosen ye one another’s hands, and uphold one another, that ye who are of the Quorum of Twelve may all labor in the vineyard, for upon you rests much responsibility;

3a) The quorum of the traveling twelve are to have nothing to do with the church, see D&C (LDS 107:23,33-36,38) (RLDS 104) (1835 3) (1844 3); D&C (LDS 112:27) (RLDS 105) (1844 104); D&C (LDS 124:128) (RLDS 107) (1844 103); Millenial Star v15 p 261; Joseph Smith, Kirtland Council Minute Book, pg 112. The church is also known as the vineyard. See Isaiah 5:7 [2 Nephi (LDS 15:7) (RLDS 8:77)] for definition of vineyard.

4a Be not hasty in ordaining men of the Negro race to offices in my church; for verily, I say unto you,

4a) Joseph Smith ordained black males to the priesthood. The fact that the supposed revelation states to not be hasty in ordaining Negros instead of any man is racist.
