At Various Times During The Last Four Thousand Years God Has Asserted His Rights And Endeavoured To Establish His Own Authority, His Own Laws, And His Own Government Among The Children Of Men

Baptism Is Just As Essential To Salvation, As Faith And Repentance. Without Being Immersed In Water No Man Can Enter Into The Fullness Of Celestial Glory: For Baptism Is Instituted For The Remission Of Sins; And If A Person Does Not Take The Necessary Steps To Obtain Pardon Of Sins, Of Course, He Cannot Be Saved In The Kingdom Of God.

The Kingdom Of God Is An Order Of Government Established By Divine Authority. It Is The Only Legal Government That Can Exist In Any Part Of The Universe.

Convince Us Of Our Errors Of Doctrine, If We Have Any, By Reason, By Logical Arguments, Or By The Word Of God, And We Will Be Ever Grateful For The Information, And You Will Ever Have The Pleasing Reflection That You Have Been Instruments In The Hands Of God Of Redeeming Your Fellow Beings From The Darkness Which You May See Enveloping Their Minds.

The Godhead Consists Of The Father, The Son, And The Holy Spirit. The Father Is A Material Being.

This Law Of Monogamy, Or The Monogamic System, Laid The Foundation For Prostitution And The Evils And Diseases Of The Most Revolting Nature And Character Under Which Modern Christendom Groans.

I Discover That Some Of The Eastern Papers Represent Me As A Great Blasphemer, Because I Said, In My Lecture On Marriage, At Our Last Conference, That Jesus Christ Was Married At Cana Of Galilee, That Mary, Martha, And Others Were His Wives, And That He Begat Children.

Do Not Suffer Any Man To Baptize Or Minister Unto You, Unless God Has Spoken Unto Him By The Voice Of His Servants, And Authorized Him To Minister In His Name

It Was Seldom That I Attended Any Religious Meetings, As My Parents Had Not Much Faith In And Were Never So Unfortunate As To Unite Themselves With Any Of The Religious Sects.

An Inequality Of Property Is The Root And Foundation Of Innumerable Evils; It Tends To Derision, And To Keep Asunder The Social Feelings That Should Exist Among The People Of God. It Is A Principle Originated In Hell; It Is The Root Of All Evils. It Is Inequality In Riches That Is A Great Curse.

If We Should Take A Million Of Worlds Like This And Number Their Particles, We Should Find That There Are More Gods Than There Are Particles Of Matter In Those Worlds.

God Is The King. In Him Exists All Legal Authority

If, After A Rigid Examination, It Be Found An Imposition, It Should Be Extensively Published To The World As Such; The Evidences And Arguments On Which The Imposture Was Detected, Should Be Clearly And Logically Stated, That Those Who Have Been Sincerely Yet Unfortunately Deceived, May Perceive The Nature Of The Deception And Be Reclaimed, And That Those Who Continue To Publish The Delusion, May Be Exposed And Silenced.

A True Servant Of God Will Never Teach A False Doctrine. He Will Never Deny New Revelation. He Never Will Tell You That The Canon Of Scripture Is Full, Or That The New Testament Is The Last Revelation Ever Intended To Be Given To Man.

Jesus Appeared Unto The Ancient Nephites, In The Northern Part Of What We Call South America.

God The Father And God The Son Cannot Be Everywhere Present; Indeed They Cannot Be Even In Two Places At The Same Instant: But God The Holy Spirit Is Omnipresent - It Extends Through All Space, With All Other Matter.

All The Modern Christian Churches, Who Deny New Revelation, Have No More Authority To Preach, Baptize, Or Administer Any Other Ordinance Of The Gospel Than The Idolatrous Hindoos Have; Indeed All Their Administrations Are Worse Than In Vain — They Are A Solemn Mockery In The Sight Of God.

The System Of Idolatry, Invented By Modern Christianity, Far Surpasses In Absurdity Anything That We Have Ever Heard Of

The Kingdom Of God Is A Theocracy. And As It Is The Only Form Of Government Which Will Redeem And Save Mankind, It Is Necessary That Every Soul Should Be Rightly And Thoroughly Instructed In Regard To Its Nature And General Characteristics

An Order Of Government, Established By Such An All-wise, Powerful Being, Must Be Good And Perfect, And Must Be Calculated To Promote The Permanent Peace, Happiness, And Well-being Of All His Subjects

Each Succeeding Generation Of Gods Follow The Example Of The Preceding Ones: Each Generation Have Their Wives, Who Raise Up From The Fruit Of Their Loins Immortal Spirits: When Their Families Become Numerous, They Organize New Worlds For Them. [t]hey Place Their Families Upon The Same.

The True God He Has Extension, And Form, And Dimensions. He Occupies Space; Has A Body, Parts, And Passions; Can Go From Place To Place. He Can Eat, Drink, And Talk

"god Is A Spirit." But That Does Not Make Him An Immaterial Being —a Being That Has No Properties In Common With Matter. The Expression "an Immaterial Being," Is A Contradiction In Terms. Immateriality Is Only Another Name For Nothing. It Is The Negative Of All Existence. A "spirit" Is As Much Matter As Oxygen Or Hydrogen.

Some Of The Nations Of Europe Who Believe In The One Wife System Have Actually Forbidden A Plurality Of Wives By Their Laws; And The Consequences Are That The Whole Country Among Them Is Overrun With The Most Abominable Practices: Adulteries And Unlawful Connections Through All Their Villages, Towns, Cities, And Country Places To A Most Fearful Extent.

God Has Told Us Latter-day Saints That We Shall Be Condemned If We Do Not Enter Into That Principle Of Polygamy; And Yet I Have Heard Now And Then (i Am Very Glad To Say That Only A Low Such Instances Have Come Under My Notice) A Brother Or A Sister Say, 'i Am A Latter-day Saint, But I Do Not Believe In Polygamy.' Oh, What An Absurd Expression! What An Absurd Idea! A Person Might As Well Say, 'i Am A Follower Of The Lord Jesus Christ, But I Do Not Believe In Him.'

I Was Ordained One Of The Standing High Council In Zion, Under The Hands Of President Joseph Smith

Any People Attempting To Govern Themselves By Laws Of Their Own Making, And By Officers Of Their Own Appointment, Are In Direct Rebellion Against The Kingdom Of God

If A Person Trains His Mind To Walk In The Spirit, And Brings His Whole Mind To Bear Upon Its Operations, And Upon The Principles Of Faith Which Are Calculated To Put Him In Possession Of The Power Of God, How Much Greater Will Be His Faculties For Obtaining Knowledge. . . .
