Another law is to not bear false witness and yet another is that God cannot lie and is true to His word in that He upholds it higher than His name.
Per the teachings of Jesus,
Mt 4:4; ”It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'"
John 6:63,64; "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you who do not believe."
John 7:16,17; "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority."
John 14:23,24; "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me."
Mt 23:8-12; "But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren."
John 15:9,10; "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you, abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love."

So, if these words are true, then if we don't at least will to keep His word, as given once for all, then is our faith in vain? When Jesus said: "It is finished", what was finished? Did Jesus give new teachings after the resurrection? or did He reveal the depth of what had already been said or taken place?
Is the gospel eternal?
I think it is.
Therefore, anything not clearly traceable to the words given at the beginning I believe I must reject.
I'm wondering about the quote of D&C 132 as the law of the Holy Spirit. How so?
