"There will be no more doctrine."

2 Nephi 32:5 states:

"... if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do."

Following is verse 6 -

"... this is the doctrine of Christ, and there will be no more doctrine given until after he shall manifest himself unto you in the flesh."

Footnotes show that Nephi is here talking about the first coming of Christ to the earth.  So the question is, if there is to be no more doctrine until Christ comes, what additional doctrine relating to 32:5 will come?  I understand that when Christ came he did away with the Mosaic law, but this seems to be talking about something different, that somehow when he comes something in relation to the Holy Ghost will change.

I didn't even know where to start with this question.  Any ideas?  Am I reading too much into it? Thanks.

  1. I just think it means if you are baptised then you will recieve the gospel which will tell you all ways you should go. The first coming is the birth of Christ and then new doctrine did come. I don't see any reference to the second coming or to us on the earth now. I know that we will recieve new doctrine when he comes again though.
