|summary=Joseph Smith and others made revisions, additions, and deletions to his early revelations when preparing them for publication. Critics claim that revelations from God are inerrant and should never be changed, and this proves that Joseph Smith did not receive revelation. | |summary=Joseph Smith and others made revisions, additions, and deletions to his early revelations when preparing them for publication.

|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 claim that a revelation received by Joseph praised Oliver Cowdery's gift of using divining talents.

|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.
