S2E12 D&C 43 Part 2

In Part 2 of our look at Doctrine and Covenants Section 43 we trace how early Kirtland saints wrestled with false manifestations of the Spirit and rival revelators like Hiram Page. Drawing on Joseph Smith's 1831 letter to his brother Hyrum and his later counsel to John S. Carter, we unpack the Lord's unmistakable answer: revelation for the whole church comes only through the prophet, even if the prophet were to fall. Along the way we spar with sola scriptura, the closed-canon question, the Montanist controversy, and why "personal revelation" that contradicts the prophet is almost always just what you already wanted to believe.
