|summary=Critics claim that a revelation received by Joseph praised Oliver Cowdery's gift of using divining talents. It is claimed that the revelation was published in the Book of Commandments in its original form, then subsequently modified in the Doctrine and Covenants in order to hide the reference to the "rod of nature." Therefore, Joseph attempted to "cover up" Oliver Cowdery's work with a divining rod by changing a revelation.

|summary=Critics argue that the Lectures on Faith were "quietly" removed from the Doctrine and Covenants without general church membership consent, and that the Lectures on Faith are not available to the general Church membership through Church sources, and can only be obtained through non-LDS sources. The Lectures on Faith, however, are available in a number of places, including Deseret Book.

|summary=Critics note that D&C 132 speaks favorably about some Old Testament practitioners of plural marriage, while Jacob 2 is negative. Critics claim that this discrepancy is a contradiction, suggesting that Joseph Smith's ideas about plural marriage changed, and the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants are not inspired.
