That's only if you believe the D&C, which may be 138 Mormon revelations, but
they aren't in the Bible. And the D&C has been changed considerably.

Sorry, but excluding a document I believe to be false, we don't know what it
is. I don't want to get into an argument over whether D&C is correct, but
look at 97:19 and 84:5 - and they still aren't there.
