+ | * So, let's get this clear: if I misremember the date on which I got married, I can't be trusted to remember whether or not ''I actually got married''? If you mistake the date, you must be lying about the whole experience? Really? | ||
+ | * Quick, what date were you baptized? What date were you ordained, say, a priest in the Aaronic priesthood? If you can't remember exactly, does that mean these things didn't happen? Or that they weren't important to you? | ||
+ | * The Church's current scriptures date D&C 10 to "summer of 1828". But, it likely dates around April 1829. Why the difference? Because the earliest source for this revelation that we now have is the "Revelation Book 1". This book contained copies of Joseph's revelations that were copied in from original documents that no longer exist. But, there's a problem: | ||
+ | ** The book goes from page 2 to page 11. Page 2 is the beginning of D&C 4; by page 11, we're already at D&C 20:7. (Pages 3-10, 15-22, and 25-26 are missing.) | ||
+ | ** It gets even more tricky: the original date on p. 2 was February 1828. An unknown hand later changed it to 1829. So, the dating is not clear from the original manuscript.{{ref|rev.book.1}} | ||
