34 Ways the Mormon Church Doesn't Follow the Doctrine & Covenants 

The Church will not apologize or even acknowledge any failure. Members, on the other hand are requested to immediately repent! I have a hard time understanding a church that says do as we say and ignore everything else….

An issue I have had is how to bring up certain questions in church. I have had similar thoughts as some of those you’ve mentioned in your videos, and I never felt comfortable saying anything in church or to my Bishop and certainly not to my SP. I just knew that I’d get in trouble or would upset people, and so I kept my mouth shut. This situation always has made me feel kind of neutered or self-censored in EQ and in classes. But I’ve wanted to give feedback out of a desire to help, and so what I did was send online feedback anonymously through the website. Probably didn’t do much, but I felt like I had to share my thoughts somehow. It’s a tricky situation. I want to speak, but I don’t want to be labeled as criticizing or questioning church leaders. My worry has been that the church will be unrecognizable in a few decades. It seems like changes are made to line up Church positions with worldly trends or what’s fashionable at a given time. Every few months it seems the Church does something new to water itself down or apologize for or try to explain away some of its doctrine. Stances often seem mushy and as if they were crafted to be as inoffensive to current sensibilities as possible.

Here is the deal I have found out so far but still working on it. The authority of the church did indeed follow Brigham and the Apostles but it also followed about fifty other men who were on the council of fifty. As usual records of the time did not specify the authority was given to only a few but later years it was "clarified" by some to mean just the twelve apostles, which is odd because higher level priests and leaders were at that council where Joseph gave all the keys and authority to all present to roll forth the kingdom...this before he died. Now.. the keys and authority are all over the place and probably the melchizedek priesthood and/or faith in Christ can create acceptable communities unto the Lord. This includes the fundamentalists, the strangites, the community of christ, and all the organizations that can trace or think they can trace a lineage of the melchizedek priesthood back to joseph (and that is pretty much everyone). Now lets unite under a faith in the BOM and Bible as scripture (including the ability to know others can have world views built on erroneous concepts within them and so can we..we are not perfect), include everyone else's scripture that is not ours as apocrypha and include everyone as our brother and sister despite what abomination we think they have committed (and have some respect, you don't know as much as you think). It is the heart that matters bros and sis. Speaking to all mormons not this presenter which btw did an excellent job. Thank you sir for your hard work.(reposted for obvi reasons)

Thanks for putting this together

subscribed! Good channel, good insights!

Thank you for your efforts-lots to think about.

One part of the bible that I love is how history shows it true and I try and read up on all knew discoveries. I was elated to study the dead sea scrolls found in Qumran which showed beyond any doubt that the old testament had not been corrupted as 1 Nephi chapter 13 said: "the loss of many plain and precious parts of the bible" had occurred. This is why Nephi said there was the need for "the restoration of the gospel, the coming forth of latter-day scripture". 1 Nephi 13: 26 says "after .. the twelve apostles of the Lamb, ... the formation of that great and abominable church, ... for behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the lamb many parts which are plain and most precious". The notes at the bottom say Nephi made this prophesy between 600 and 592 B.C. Then 1 Nephi 13:30 says: "because of these things which are taken away out of the gospel ... Satan hath great power over them". Then, 1 Nephi 14:3 says because of this "the devil... lead away the souls of men down to hell". But the dead sea scrolls proved this prophecy is false as the scrolls found in cave 1 show the that the old testament we have is not corrupted like Nephi said. And the other caves have proven this also with more books of the old testament. Jesus said he was the "word" which was the written testament at his coming. God bless you.

I don’t want to sound snarky, but this is like arguing the rules of a game that someone made up on the spot, then forgot the rules, then made up new rules. It’s all fantasy. It’s all fake. That’s why there is so much wrong with it.

Fantastic, Patrick. I just found your channel, and I'm super impressed. Thank you!

Outstanding Video! As I understand it, Brigham and associates, reorganized and incorporated a Church in the Territory of Utah named The Church of Jesus Crist of Latter-Day Saints, then baptized everyone into this church. ( Brigham was rebaptized 7 or 8 times!!!)

Very comprehensive. Thanks

I did this study a couple of years ago. There is at least one thing in every section that the church disregards and doesn't follow or teach.

Great job Patrick! You are doing an important, objective work in sharing truth!

In number eight, are you referring to D&C 18:3-4 (BOC 15)? Thanks-

Thank you 🙏💕

What about DnC 20 and BoM stating teachers and deacons have NO authority to administer the sacrament. yet they do it EVERY SUNDAY. BLASPHEMY.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

# 20 bishops should be financially supported all of my bishops work so very hard. They work harder and endure more stress than general authorities. I’m no longer a member.

Do uncorrelated mormons look beyond the LDS church for spiritual guidance? I think many of the recent Community of Christ D&C passages are far more inspiring than anything I’ve seen in the LDS church in 150 years. Same with the messages in the Elijah Message church.

I think it is important to kneel for the sacrament, but I hurt my knee last fall and am unable to kneel now because it is so painful. Getting old, I guess.

I believe Brigham Young was voted in as the successor of Joseph. Of course that was improper too

The 1837 change in the Book of Mormon isn’t contradictory of the lectures on faith. Christ is the son of the eternal father. He is also the eternal father himself. The son because of his flesh, the father because he was conceived by god as God. It’s a “what if the father existed within our sphere of existence.” Christ is still an independent person from the father, doctrine in covenants is even clear that he exists separately from the father and always has (when it says “I was in the beginning WITH the father”), but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s identical to what the father would be, had the father been human. We were made in Gods image, so it shouldn’t surprise us that a human can both be identical to the father, while also being human.

Like: eating meat sparingly in times of excess hunger or winter.... they eat meat for breakfast, lunch and dinner... LOL!!! I'm going to have my cup of coffee.

Nephi spoke to the Holy Ghost face to face. Do you make the Jehovah's Witnesses claim that the Holy Ghost is only spiritual light that radiates from God?

At 4:27 I see what you are getting at. And there is definitely a comtradiction betwen j smith teaching and current doctrine. However, the "trinitarian" theology you allude to, would contradict the bible. REVELATION 3 states THE SON does in fact assume the throne of the father the father Ascends and those who are heirs of godhood (romans 8/psalms 82/John 10) will inherit the throne of the Son. Also the bible is super clear they are separate individuals. The .."Way" a person, such as Jesus Christ, can become "the eternal father" is through his intermediary role as THE davidic Servant. Those who play this role become "eternal Father" to those they save (who become the "children of the father) This is how God, our current father, is our Father. J smith said we aren't his "seed" he didnt "create us". He is our "Eternal Father" via the davidic covenant.

Luke 22:36 is a response to point 24.

Your 6th point is excellent. The Church being delivered over to Satan was fulfilled in polygamy.

While I have my own questions regarding things not being implemented from the Doctrine and Covenants, I have always felt the need to be careful not to be a fault finder. There are some claims made in this video that seem spot on, but others that are exaggerated. The calling of Bishops, for example, is still made by the First Presidency with a recommendation from the stake president. As for members of the First Presidency, always being a member of the twelve, that's not always true. Alvin Dyer was never a member of the 12, maybe that one goes back too far it was under David O McKay

They do not visit and administer to poor members!

I thank you for your work on this. All Church members should be concerned when the scriptures are blown off or deemed archaic or irrelevant. Joseph was a prophet and the Book of Mormon contains the doctrine of Jesus Christ. I feel the Holy Ghost when I read it. The current leadership seems to fulfill Moroni's description in Mormon 8. I wish it weren't so.

Brother I’m thrilled to the moon that I don’t have to make all these videos nor write all the stuff out. I am the end times Davidic servant Elias the true prophet that remnant of the house of Jacob and Lehi who is partly of Christ in the line of king David among the watchmen of Ephraim. I would like if you could provide me with a written script of this if you have it and any of your additional research. I have a ton of my own, but the bottom line is so many other people have done so much more it would be more thorough if I compared and compiled. everyone else’s along with my own I can make one succinct dissertation outlining everything from the very beginning where the secret combination began and where it ended up now. This of course is Luciferian in nature and by the freemasons with Brigham Young right at the top. 160 years ago they started making changes that would steadily end up where we are now. It is my sworn foreordained duty as the arm of the Lord to gather strength among those who see and hear to call for a vote of common consent to remove all these drunken men, take back control of the church for the people and by the people in common consent . Only the Lord can confirm that I am telling the truth of who I am. Thousands in diverse places have witnessed so . I am your servant. 👑👨‍🦯🗡️🧎🙏👊🤙 #iAmKingDavid #EndTimesServant #DavidicServant #HeComesRightQuickly

They don't follow the doctrin in the Book of Mormon either

Same thing with the Book Of Mormon.

You should read Ninety-Five Theses by Ogden Kraut

When Patrick mees Christ whoa !! There will be no mountains to hide in , no escape !!!!!!!

I share this in loving correction. You repeated a false doctrine in that an apostle is witness of the name of Christ. This is false. They are messengers with a specific message sent from either the presence of the lord or one of his angels. See Moroni 7.

We follow the Authority , the living prophet interpretation.. the lord promised the church shall never go to apostacy untill he comes in adam ondi arhman.

We are The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints

❤No one can honestly say that he knows that the Book of Mormon is not true. The sincere seeker of truth will study this book of scripture and make the effort to learn the truth for himself. See Moroni 10 :4-5 to learn how. 😊

You’re all forgetting one thing. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true and living Church on earth. The Church has Fulness of truth but not a monopoly on truth. Follow the living prophet, President Nelson who is about to turn 99. The Book of Mormon is true. It is true that all of us don’t fully understand the scriptures and there is always something to learn. We don’t have all knowledge and truth God has. The Church will never fall, as it’s the stone cut without hands.

All of you Anties are fighting a war you can't win.

I'd strongly suggest listening to Mormon stories podcast if you really want the truth about those scriptures

Thank you, Mormonism is unbiblical, read Joseph Smith history, his discourses, you will find, they believe Jesus was created in heaven and he is not eternal. This should be huge for anyone who cares about their salvation.

Stilll calling it the Mormon church when the lord himself said it's his church

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone!

9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. 11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. 12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. 13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant. Genesis 17 24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: 28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; Acts 15:24,28 Oh no, the eternal God-mandated covenant that was mandated for hundreds of years was broken by Peter just because it seemed like a good idea. Good ideas can trump God-given mandates even in the early Church. Now go be gay, drink coffee or whatever motivates you to criticize the restored Church.

LOL nice try !! Who cares what you think !!

None of this matters because everything Joseph claimed was a lie, and nothing Jesus claimed was a lie the Church and the Word (Catholic Bible) stand. Be Baptized and repent! The Supreme Pontiff welcomes you - the Church Christ founded never lost the Keys!
