Consig should be the prophet! He has done what no one else has ever done!! Total Objectivity has been achieved in textual analysis! It's a miracle! He's got your vote now, does he? In lieu of Mickey Mouse perhaps you should start a Consiglieri club. He might even give you his first autograph.

Recent authorship studies ascribe the wording of the lectures "mainly to Sidney Rigdon," with Joseph Smith substantially involved, and others perhaps having some influence. Joseph Smith's close involvement with the lectures is suggested by Willard Richards's history, which reports that Joseph was "busily engaged" in November in making "preparations for the School for the Elders, wherein they might be more perfectly instructed in the great things of God" (HC2:169-70). The same source indicates that in January 1835 Joseph was engaged in "preparing the lectures on theology for publication" (HC 2:180). From these references and other circumstances it seems evident that the lectures were prepared and published with Joseph Smith's approval (Dahl and Tate, pp. 7-10; 16, n. 8). Until 1921 the "Lectures on Faith" were printed in almost all the English-language editions of the Doctrine and Covenants, and in many, but not all, non-English editions. An introductory statement in the 1921 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants explains that the lectures were deleted because "they were never presented to nor accepted by the Church as being otherwise than theological lectures or lessons" (see Doctrine and Covenants Editions). The decision may also have been influenced by what many readers have perceived as conflicts between statements about the Godhead in the fifth lecture and certain later revelations (D&C 130; Dahl and Tate, pp. 16-19). Others have found these conflicts to be more apparent than real and have attempted reconciliations (R. Millet, in Dahl and Tate, pp. 221-40). http://eom.byu.edu/index.php/Lectures_on_Faith That's great thanks for that!
Russell C McGregor Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Bump for Consig. When Joseph said that he "cried unto the Lord" and was "calling upon the Lord," to whom was he praying? 1
