1 Corinthians 15:1-4; “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures”.

We all know that it comes in contact with sectarian influence and every other influence that is not direct from God. … You can understand, from the few remarks I make with regard to the Gospel, that many things which were revealed through Joseph came in contact with our own prejudices: We did not know how to understand them. I refer to myself for an instance. … My traditions were such, that when the Vision came first to me, it was directly contrary and opposed to my former education.” – Brigham Young, Great Salt Lake City, August 29, 1852

I pray you hear me out on this because if this submission of the Church isn’t the most important thing they’ve ever published, nothing else qualifies. Ever.

In an e-mail I received from Today in Mormon History a couple of days ago, one of their entries noted a false prophecy of Joseph Smith. While that in itself wasn’t anything new, the rest of what is said in the original source, was. (See Young Women’s Journal below.)
