First, this doesn't trump Christ's teaching in 2 Nephi 28:31 to verify all things through the spirit. Hence why it explicitly says, "as he receiveth them"...Atticus wrote: ↑July 19th, 2022, 5:06 pm Yeah, Jesus Christ said it about Joseph Smith.
4 Wherefore, meaning the church, thou shalt give heed unto all his words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me;
5 For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith.
Second, you're missing what Christ also said about Joseph in D&C 6:
18 Therefore be diligent; stand by my servant Joseph, faithfully, in whatsoever difficult circumstances he may be for the word’s sake.
19 Admonish him in his faults, and also receive admonition of him. Be patient; be sober; be temperate; have patience, faith, hope and charity.
