Dear Sir,
I am an investigator of the mormon faith. I have come across some questions that I haven't been able to find the answers to. I was told that you might be able to find the time to help me.
Some of the questions I have are as follows:
1. Have the early revelations of the church been revised and have some additional clauses been inserted as some people claim?
2. Has Joseph Smith's History been changed from the original Hisotry?
3. Is the adam God Doctrine, as taught in the Journal of Discourses, true?
4. is the atonement of one's own blood nessicary for salvation if certain sins are commited?
5. Was Jesus a polygamist?
Thank you very much for your help in answering my questions.
Yours truly
Morris L. Reynolds
