Joseph Smith's "Convenient" Revelations: Can It Really Be That Easy?

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast Rebecca and Landon explore the many "convenient" revelations received by Joseph Smith which became the Doctrine & Covenants.

One after another, these revelations arrived on the scene conveniently to solve problems for Joseph Smith. When you see the sheer number or these type of revelations you will recognize an emerging pattern of using the "word of God" to justify one's own means and desires.

We found it incredibly interesting to go through this exercise of the events that precipitated each "revelation" and to recognize the continuing themes of power, money, control, etc.. that appear and again and again in the "convenient" revelations. And we think you will too!
