revelation

The LDS Church claims ongoing revelation through prophets, distinguishing it from other churches. However, claimed revelations have included teachings later disavowed (Adam-God, blood atonement, racism), policies reversed (November policy), and practices abandoned (polygamy). When members receive personal revelation that contradicts church teachings, they're told they're deceived. The inconsistency of institutional revelation leads many to question whether it's truly divine.
