Hello there!
I am just curious on how the Book of Commandments relates to the Latter-Day Saint movement at large.
I have been reading bits and pieces, and have found that the so-called Rigdonite church (Church of Jesus Christ) make the most sense in regarding a proper understanding of the Book of Mormon's role in the daily Christian. Heck, even the Community of Christ (RLDS) also makes some sense, although in a very liberal way. But of course, I do not believe in denominations, and that the Book of Mormon testifies that ALL believers of Christ are saved.
However, I specifically would like to know how the current CoJCoLDS deals with the Book of Commandments, since it gives a very strong indication that Joseph Smith changed much of the text before giving it as today's Doctrine and Covenants, and according to some denominations, had corrupted the simple and pure teachings that the Book of Mormon testifies, as the fullness of the everlasting Gospel of Jesus Christ.
