Description:

The revelation found in D&C 18 was originally published in Book of Commandments XV. There were changes and additions to the text of the revelation. The most significant changes are in the verses describing what aspects of the church organization are included in the text of the Book of Mormon. The original revelation stated that all things concerning the church are in the Book of Mormon. The modified text states that all things concerning *the foundation* of the church are included. This is an important change which allows for additional offices, priesthoods and ordinances to be established in the church which are not found in the Book of Mormon.
