FAIR Latter-day Saints
Stenographers are not the Holy Ghost. Some JoD sermons are gold. Some are frontier fire. The Church has said they are not a fourth standard work. Holding us to every comma in JoD while your tradition quietly shelves Luther’s worst pages is a double standard. We already have a filter: what is in the canon and what is taught over the pulpit in General Conference today.
A prophet’s sermon is not automatically scripture. That is how every biblical tradition actually lives, including yours.
- JoD was a private publishing project, not a vote of the Saints.
- Adam-God, blood atonement rhetoric, and other JoD storms are handled as non-binding.
- Living prophets can correct dead ones. That is a feature of continuing revelation.
