We recently bought a facsimile reprint
of the 1835 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants because this
edition of the Doctrine and Covenants was edited by Joseph Smith and accepted as
scripture by a unanimous vote. See General Assembly page 255.
In the 1835 edition, there are two
parts. Part one is the Lectures on Faith.
T
H E O L O G Y.
LECTURE FIRST
ON THE DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH OF THE
LATTER DAY SAINTS.
Of Faith.
LECTURE FIRST
ON THE DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH OF THE
LATTER DAY SAINTS.
Of Faith.
Part two is comprised of the covenants and commandments of the Lord.
PART
SECOND.
COVENANTS AND COMMANDMENTS
OF THE LORD,
to his servants of the church of the
LATTER DAY SAINTS.
COVENANTS AND COMMANDMENTS
OF THE LORD,
to his servants of the church of the
LATTER DAY SAINTS.
I am familiar with most of
the revelations in the second part because they are included in the Salt
Lake City edition of the Doctrine and Covenants, and this is the
edition I have studied.
It appears that the Lectures
on Faith is the doctrine of the church and the other revelations
are the covenants and commandments of the Lord.
So, if the Lectures on Faith
was removed, where is the doctrine
in the Salt Lake City edition of the Doctrine and Covenants?
