Doctrine & Covenants ( Section 56) : Absurdity (10)

  1. I'm God. Listen to me. I'm angry at those who rebel. They'll get to know my arm. 56:1
  2. I command and revoke whenever I feel like it. 56:4
  3. So I'm revoking the commandment I gave Thomas B. Marsh and Ezra Thayre. 56:5
  4. I'm also revoking the commandment that I gave to Selah J. Griffin and Newll Knight. 56:6
  5. Instead, Newell Knight will stay with the people in Thompson, Ohio, and lead them to Missouri after they repent. 56:7
  6. Ezra Thayre must repent of his pride and selfishness, and obey the former commandment that I gave him. If he does this, he'll still get to go to Missouri. 56:8
  7. Otherwise, the money he gave to the church will be returned to him and he'll be cut out of my church. Heaven and earth may pass away, but these words won't. 56:10
  8. If Joseph Smith, Jun. returns the money to Ezra Thayre, then I, the Lord, will reimburse Joseph Smith in Missouri. 56:12
  9. This is what I, the Lord, say to my people: You must repent because you have decided for yourselve what to do. 56:14
  10. And that's all I have to say about that. Amen. 56:20
