Verse 2 Our church government is neither a theocracy nor a democracy. The “next conference” will be held at Fayette on September 26 and 27, 1830.Ģ And all things shall be done by common consent in the church, by much prayer and faith, for all things you shall receive by faith. “until after you shall go to the west to hold the next conference” Going “to the west” meant going northwest to Fayette, New York, a distance of about a hundred miles. Joseph is counseled by the Lord to complete that assignment.
As the foregoing historical summaries have made clear, Joseph is having trouble getting the newly baptized Colesville saints confirmed members of the Church because of persecutions in that town. The branch at Colesville consisted mainly of the Joseph and Newel Knight families, but there were other interested persons in the area. “and to confirming the church at Colesville” Colesville, New York, is about twenty miles north of Harmony, Pennsylvania. See the supplemental article Joseph Smith’s Inspired Revision of the Bible-The JST. Verse 1 “you shall let your time be devoted to the studying of the scriptures” Joseph is instructed to continue his work in correcting the King James Bible. Joseph offered no information in the History of the Church about the circumstances in which section 26 was received.ĭ&C 26:2 All things shall be done by common consent in the church.ġ Behold, I say unto you that you shall let your time be devoted to the studying of the scriptures, and to preaching, and to confirming the church at Colesville, and to performing your labors on the land, such as is required, until after you shall go to the west to hold the next conference and then it shall be made known what you shall do. This section, given in July 1830, in Harmony.
