http://www.utlm.org/images/changingtherevelations/changingtherevelations_p177.gifWhen the D&C was reissued in 1844, Section 121 was not included. Section 121 was originally a letter written by Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, Lyman Wight, Caleb Baldwin, and Alexander McCrae while inmprisoned in Liberty jail. Published originally in The Times and Seasons in Nauvoo 1840. The 1844 DC did not include any portion of the letter. Since JS oversaw the publication of the Doctrine and Covenants, it is apparent that he did not consider the material in the latter as revelation.
In 1876 the new edition of the Doctrine and Covenants included it, but it was chopped, added to, rewritten with entirely new concepts and material including Plurality of Gods. Entire paragraphs were cut, while portions of sentences were moved around. This became 121, 122, and 123 as part of the new theology being taught in Salt Lake City.
Here is a fantastic layout of the changes in photographic form:

http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/122can you see where DC 122 begins?
http://www.utlm.org/images/changingtherevelations/changingtherevelations_p177.gifScroll down past the Book of Commandment changes, to the section called Other Changes. Pictures clearly show what was cut, including the authors names, and it shows what was inserted. In the end, section 121,122, and 123, no matter how important, is a complete fabrication.

The Book of Commandments was the first book of revelations published in 1833. It was later reissued as the Doctrine and Covenants in 1835. At the time of the publication of the 1833 Book of Commandments, Jesus Christ said that it was correct and approved by Him.
Book of Commandments Chapter 1:7
>1:7 [S]earch these commandments, for they are true and faithful, and the prophecies and promises which are in them, shall all be fulfilled. What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself, and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice, or by the voice of my servants, it is the same: For behold, and lo, the Lord is God, and the Spirit beareth record, and the record is true, and the truth abideth forever and ever: Amen.

Bottom line?
They say that the church is led by modern prophets who have brought forth scripture which is of course the Word of God.
If you cannot trust the scriptures or the people who gave them to you then there is no reason to believe in the church that teaches from them.
