Section 20: Absurdity

  1. The Church of Christ [1] was founded in the last days, in accordance with the laws of the United States, by the will of God, 1830 years after Jesus was born, on 6 April 1830. 20:1
  2. The commandments were given to Joseph Smith, Jun., an apostle of Jesus and the first elder of the church. And to Oliver Cowdery, another apostle of Jesus, and the second elder of the church. 20:2-3

  3. God sent an angel to visit Joseph Smith. The angel looked like lightning, with white clothes that were whiter than white.

    The angel gave him commandments, and the power to translate the Book of Mormon. 20:6-8

  4. These things are in accordance with the revelations of John, neither adding to, nor diminishing from the prophecies of his book.

    Of course everything in the Book of Mormon and other Mormon scriptures adds to the things in the Book of Revelation and in the Bible. 20:35

    "If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book." Revelation 22:18
