Quote:For something to be officially added to or removed from the Canon requires a vote by the governing body of the church. That would be either the First Presidency or the Quorum of the Apostles. Historically these two groups of equal power have never been at odds about anything.
I couldn't see the church ever adding additional ancient scriptures to the current cannon. The membership remains under condemnation for not using what we have been given. Why would we as a church be given more.
But we as individuals may or may not be under condemnation with the rest of the church. That is between each person and God. And as such, if God gives to a person additional scripture it is not valid to the church or canonized by the church and the members of the church are not bound by it.
Such scriptures can come from personal revelation, patriarchal blessings and testimonies of books gained by the Holy Ghost. So, we should we do what we ask everyone else to do, read the so called ancient scriptures and then apply the promise of Moroni?
Quote:Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your chearts.
And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. - Moro. 10:3-5
