| 49386 | Could it not be a temptation? |
| 49386 | The questions that for a time perplexed him were: should he respond at once to the call to fulfill a mission? |
| 49386 | she exclaimed,"and do you know our Micky?" |
| 35562 | ** What does it mean, to love God with one''s heart and soul and mind? |
| 35562 | ** Why a Church? |

| 35562 | Shall a man obey a man? |
| 35562 | The question is often asked,"Does nature, as we know it, the rocks and trees and beasts, possess intelligence of an order akin to that of man?" |
| 35562 | WHY A CHURCH? |
| 35562 | Whence? |
| 35562 | Whither? |
| 35562 | Who knows? |
| 48668 | Are you not a''Mormon''elder? |
| 48668 | Can I obtain lodging here tonight? |
| 48668 | Did you notice anything when you came in here last night? |
| 48668 | What was it you noticed? |
| 48668 | What? |
| 48668 | Who brought you here last night? |
| 48668 | Who is there? |
| 48668 | You have not been here before? |
| 48668 | Are you not ashamed?" |
| 48668 | Immediately came a moment of great exaltation, but followed quickly by a voice which spoke to me in a contemptuous tone:"What is wrong with you? |
| 48668 | Mr. Nordrum was a liberal- minded man and he said to Mrs. Miller,"Have you a comfortable room that we can have, as we have a prisoner along with us?" |
| 48668 | What do you want? |
| 48668 | Where was I to go? |
| 48668 | said the lady,"a nice room for a prisoner?" |
| 46208 | Did the desert of old yield its gushing wave, For the pilgrim- fathers their thirst to lave? 46208 And shall we, their children, all forget That this mighty arm is our refuge yet? 46208 But-- I replied, that miracles had truly ceased; but, said I, why have they ceased? 46208 Did the vision of God before them stand, Guiding their steps to the promis''d land? 46208 How long, O Lord, shall iniquity triumph, and sin go unpunished? 46208 Mr. Whiting then asked if we acknowledged any to be christians except those who embraced our doctrines and joined our church? 46208 She has been grievously afflicted and smitten; she has mourned; she has wept; her enemies have triumphed, and have said,''Ah, where is thy God?'' 46208 She looks upon the little ones and beholds in them the generous and manly features of their sire, but his place his vacant: And pray, where is he? 46208 Well did the Saviour ask this question,When the son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" |
| 46208 | or, am I carried away in the fanciful reveries of a night vision? |
| 46208 | when shall human grief and woe come to a final end? |
| 46244 | But does this infallible sign exist either among the Papists or Protestants? |
| 46244 | But the great question is, Have any of them been called as Aaron was? |
| 46244 | But why should I have charity for a god that has no"_ parts_"--no relation to space? |
| 46244 | Can any of their ministers give the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands? |
| 46244 | Do they not, with very few exceptions, declare that"There is no later revelation than the_ New Testament_?" |
| 46244 | Do you enquire how you are to know an authorized man of God from one who has no authority? |
| 46244 | Has God said one word to any of them? |
| 46244 | Have any of the Roman Catholic or Protestant officers been called by_ new revelation_? |
| 46244 | Reader, are you a member of any of these societies? |
| 46244 | Reader, can you see the difference? |
| 46244 | Reader, can you tell why the King should be so distant? |
| 46244 | Reader, have you ever received the Holy Ghost through the laying on of the hands of one sent of God? |
| 46244 | What was this further qualification which these apostles had not yet received? |
| 46244 | Why he has not sent one sentence of consolation or counsel to them? |
| 46244 | Why he holds no communication with any of the people? |
| 46244 | Would you expect her majesty, the queen of England, to answer your petition if it were directed to some African prince? |
| 46244 | Would you expect the God of heaven to answer a petition that was addressed to a Hindoo god? |
| 51730 | And consulted for a long time, saying among themselves, What need hath my lord of this tower, seeing this is a time of peace? |
| 51730 | And the servant said unto his lord, When shall these things be? |
| 51730 | And to what end? |
| 51730 | And while they were yet laying the foundation thereof, they began to say among themselves, And what need hath my lord of this tower? |
| 51730 | As the party neared the river in the early morning just at day- break, a voice was heard calling,"Who comes there?" |
| 51730 | But to what tribe of Israel was it to be given? |
| 51730 | From what have they fallen? |
| 51730 | Ignorant of what? |
| 51730 | Might not this money be given to the exchangers? |
| 51730 | My mother having first noticed his changed appearance said:"Brother Patten, are you sick?" |
| 51730 | Now I ask, What is a dispensation? |
| 51730 | Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? |
| 51730 | Now the Lord has said that he would set his hand the second time and we ask for what? |
| 51730 | Now the question is, unto whom is this dispensation to be given? |
| 51730 | Now, unto what shall I liken the children of Zion? |
| 51730 | Ought ye not to have done even as I commanded you? |
| 51730 | What is that he says? |
| 51730 | or by whom to be revealed? |
| 51730 | what is the cause of this great evil? |
| 46028 | What for? |
| 46028 | After taking hold of his hand, he looked down into the dying man''s face and said:"Brother Fordham, do you not know me?" |
| 46028 | And what had brought us here? |
| 46028 | He again said:"Elijah, do you not know me?" |
| 46028 | How many were cast out of heaven down to the earth? |
| 46028 | How many were there to come down and take tabernacles? |
| 46028 | I asked him"For what crime?" |
| 46028 | I have some three thousand names of the dead who have been baptized for, and how can I get endowments for them?" |
| 46028 | Joseph replied:"What did you say that for? |
| 46028 | Joseph then said:"Do you believe that Jesus is the Christ?" |
| 46028 | Now, boys, how would you like this position? |
| 46028 | On your first mission, without a companion or friend, and to be called upon to preach to such a congregation? |
| 46028 | One lady ran to her door, pushed her spectacles to the top of her head, raised her hands, and exclaimed:"What under heavens has broken loose?" |
| 46028 | She asked:"What for?" |
| 46028 | The Prophet then said,"Have you not faith to be healed?" |
| 46028 | The unbeliever may ask:"Was there not deception in this?" |
| 46028 | We had accomplished the mission without a dog moving his tongue at us, or any man saying,"Why do you do so?" |
| 46028 | We had spent a pleasant time together, and he rejoiced at my visit; and who would not, to meet with a friend in a lonely prison? |
| 46028 | What for? |
| 46028 | When we commenced work in the temple I began to reflect:"How can I redeem my dead? |
| 46028 | and from whom dost thou receive thy power and blessings, but from God? |
| 49739 | ''What for?'' 49739 What is that, sir?" |
| 49739 | After awhile he heard a response"Anson, is that you?" |
| 49739 | As they approached she said"You have a letter from Judge Thomas, have n''t you?" |
| 49739 | But do you believe that Christ was God''s very Son, with a divinely appointed and definite mission, dying on the cross and raised from the dead?" |
| 49739 | Can I afford to dishonor that sacred priesthood? |
| 49739 | Can I doubt His power or the truth of His restored priesthood? |
| 49739 | Can my college professor tell me any more that there is no God? |
| 49739 | Could anybody tell me that I did not know, as a boy in old Brother Doremus''s school, that I got a solid shock of electricity? |
| 49739 | Did I send for the reporter? |
| 49739 | Do n''t argue; do n''t explain; but is your mind in a condition where you can answer yes or no?" |
| 49739 | Do you tell me that I do n''t know that we have the gift of tongues in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints? |
| 49739 | Grabbing him by the collar and shaking him, Mr. Parkin angrily demanded,"Are you going to compel me to hit you, even though you are a cripple? |
| 49739 | Have you no small change?" |
| 49739 | He produced from his wallet a diminutive coin, such as they had never seen before, and offered it to them, and Brother Parkin inquired,"What is that?" |
| 49739 | He said in substance,"Who filled you full of those lies?" |
| 49739 | He said"would it not be better for one or two men to be killed than for a whole community to be destroyed?" |
| 49739 | He said,"Bishop, can I come down to your house and spend an evening with you?" |
| 49739 | How came the marble cutter to make a duplicate of his record? |
| 49739 | How could such apostles of interrogation convert a world?" |
| 49739 | Mr. Beveridge says:"How could such priests of ice warm the souls of men? |
| 49739 | She asked,''What for?'' |
| 49739 | She greeted him reproachfully with the exclamation:"What have you done?" |
| 49739 | The bishop replied:"How do you know they are true? |
| 49739 | The next question was:"Do you believe that Christ was the son of the living God, sent by him to save the world? |
| 49739 | Turning to the"Mormon"Elder, Mr. Parkin inquired:"Where do you live?" |
| 49739 | When he was near enough to me to speak to me he asked me, in a pleasant but abrupt manner:"What family are you tracing?" |
| 49739 | Which shall I obey, God or the Devil?'' |
| 49739 | Why? |
| 56700 | And couldst not thou, Greece, avert thy fate, With oracles and wealth and victory? |
| 56700 | And if so can the God of the Bible be just? |
| 56700 | And if this be the case in heaven, why should not similar conditions so far as possible exist on earth? |
| 56700 | And if this privilege has not been granted to them while in the body, must it not be afforded them when out of the body? |
| 56700 | And shall the little"powers that be"to- day, Be likened for a moment to thy majesty? |
| 56700 | And shall we say that it is impossible for the Power that regulates the universe to reanimate a defunct body? |
| 56700 | And the query arises, must all these souls be lost in consequence? |
| 56700 | And who shall define the impossible, or draw the bounds of the powers of the Creator? |
| 56700 | Are the fond relations of husband and wife, and parent and child to be dissolved forever? |
| 56700 | But is the dissolution of the body the end of existence? |
| 56700 | Can nothing be done in their case? |
| 56700 | Couldst not thy world- wide reign perpetuate, With all thy gods and deep philosophy? |
| 56700 | How did Joseph Smith gain it? |
| 56700 | If a man receives from the Lord more wives than one under the sealing ordinances of celestial marriage, where is the moral wrong? |
| 56700 | If this is true and God is just, must not all men_ hear_ that gospel and have the opportunity of receiving or rejecting it? |
| 56700 | Is earth holier than heaven? |
| 56700 | Is not each of these wives entitled to her position in eternity, by virtue of the sealing power which made her part of the man? |
| 56700 | Is there any reason why this should not be so? |
| 56700 | Must they forever be shut out of the kingdom of heaven? |
| 56700 | Shall man have more equity than God? |
| 56700 | Shall the murderer and the Sabbath- breaker, the adulterer and the thief, the drunkard and the profane, all merit the same doom? |
| 56700 | What, then, is the way of their deliverance? |
| 56700 | What, then, was lost? |
| 56700 | When stern justice has claimed its own and filled its purpose, shall there be no place for sweet mercy? |
| 56700 | Where are the palaces of Babylon, The"hanging gardens"and the golden tow''rs? |
| 56700 | Why should one enter into the exaltation of the celestial world, and the other be relegated to singleness and servitude? |
| 56700 | Why should the opportunity to learn and the power to obey the truths of the gospel be confined to dwellers in the flesh? |
| 56700 | Would human courts proclaim such judgment? |
| 52840 | **** Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? |
| 52840 | And again, I say unto you, that whoso having knowledge, have I not commanded to repent? |
| 52840 | And why are they doing this? |
| 52840 | And why such condemnation? |
| 52840 | But how are they to become saviors on Mount Zion? |
| 52840 | But what is the object of this important mission? |
| 52840 | Do we Latter- day Saints fully realize the importance of the mighty responsibility placed upon us in relation to the salvation of the world? |
| 52840 | How can I be baptized each year for twenty, forty, sixty, or more of my dead when we have n''t their records?" |
| 52840 | How can he save himself from his predicament? |
| 52840 | If a few can do it, why can not more? |
| 52840 | If this work must be performed for the dead from the beginning to the end of time, how is it to be done? |
| 52840 | In the words of the prophet, I shall conclude, Brethren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? |
| 52840 | Is it more than we are capable of doing? |
| 52840 | Is not this the greatest, most glorious duty in the world? |
| 52840 | Is this more than we ought to do? |
| 52840 | Paul argues with them thus: Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? |
| 52840 | What good reason can be given why the Lord should not forgive sins in the world to come? |
| 52840 | What was the promise made to the fathers that was to be fulfilled in the latter- days by the turning of the hearts of the children to their fathers? |
| 52840 | Where would be the justice in condemning them forever in hell,"where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched?" |
| 52840 | Why did he preach to these disobedient spirits? |
| 52840 | Why should man suffer throughout the countless ages of eternity for his sins committed here, if those sins are not unto death? |
| 52840 | Will the Lord hold us accountable for these dead, and punish us for not doing their work, when we are powerless to act? |
| 52840 | and why stand we in jeopardy every hour? |
| 52840 | or how is it to be fulfilled? |
| 52840 | why are they then baptized for the dead? |
| 49327 | But,said he,"if you die here you will not accomplish it; and had you not better go than be buried in this land?" |
| 49327 | A CHAT WITH A CATHOLIC-- CHASED BY DOGS-- AN IRISHMAN''S DESIGN TO MURDER ME-- REMARKABLE ESCAPE-- ADVENTURE WITH A WILD BULL--"HAS HE GOT YOU?" |
| 49327 | A Chat With a Catholic-- Chased by Dogs-- An Irishman''s Design to Murder me-- Remarkable Escape-- Adventure with a Wild Bull--"Has he got You?" |
| 49327 | About this time my companion rose up out of the tree- top, where the bull had thrown him, and called to me,"Has he got you?" |
| 49327 | He replied,"How shall we do it without getting hurt?" |
| 49327 | Hug''s house?" |
| 49327 | Is there anything else you want?" |
| 49327 | Orson Pratt; his first exclamation was,"What is the matter with you?" |
| 49327 | Q.--Are you a believer in the doctrine of the people called Mormons? |
| 49327 | Q.--As it is taught in this country? |
| 49327 | Q.--But you believe the doctrines? |
| 49327 | Q.--Did you ever follow any business, if so, what was it? |
| 49327 | Q.--Did you ever tell the people here that by paying a certain sum of money, or as much as they could, they might obtain a passage to America? |
| 49327 | Q.--Did you follow any business while traveling in England? |
| 49327 | Q.--Did you not know him before? |
| 49327 | Q.--Do you believe in the plurality of wives as being true? |
| 49327 | Q.--Do you believe that the Bible teaches that doctrine? |
| 49327 | Q.--Do you know Mr. Mayer? |
| 49327 | Q.--Do you know anything of such a matter among the Mormons here? |
| 49327 | Q.--Do you know what business he followed before he came to Switzerland? |
| 49327 | Q.--Had you property left you? |
| 49327 | Q.--Have you any desire that the people here should believe the doctrine of plurality of wives? |
| 49327 | Q.--Have you taken any active part in Mormonism in this country? |
| 49327 | Q.--Have you taught it to the people here? |
| 49327 | Q.--How did you become acquainted with him? |
| 49327 | Q.--How long have you know him? |
| 49327 | Q.--How long is it since you came into Switzerland? |
| 49327 | Q.--In what part? |
| 49327 | Q.--In what place? |
| 49327 | Q.--Into what part? |
| 49327 | Q.--Is Mr. Mayer an American? |
| 49327 | Q.--On politics or religion? |
| 49327 | Q.--Then you made some money by your business? |
| 49327 | Q.--Were you long in England? |
| 49327 | Q.--What did you come to this country for, and what have you been doing since you came here? |
| 49327 | Q.--What? |
| 49327 | Q.--Where did you come from to this country? |
| 49327 | Q.--Where were you born? |
| 49327 | Q.--Why not? |
| 49327 | Q.--Why? |
| 49327 | Q.--Will you give us the address of that friend? |
| 49327 | Q.--Yes, but if you had the power, would you not introduce the practice of that system? |
| 49327 | Soon he spoke again:"Are you traveling far, young man?" |
| 49327 | The charges were read and we were asked,"Are you guilty, or not guilty?" |
| 49327 | The next day while laboring in the field something seemed to whisper to me,"Do you know the Book of Mormon is true?" |
| 49327 | The policeman pointing to me said,"That is a fine fellow, he used to pretend to give English lessons, how could he, when he can not speak any German?" |
| 49327 | The tempter all the while seemed to say,"Do you know the Book of Mormon is true?" |
| 49327 | They shouted,"Where is he? |
| 49327 | What has made you so late?" |
| 49327 | What was she to do? |
| 46974 | And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? |
| 46974 | Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? 46974 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? |
| 46974 | After testifying of the mission and resurrection of Jesus the Christ, in response to their inquiry,"Men and brethren, what shall we do?" |
| 46974 | Also,"Where is boasting then? |
| 46974 | And can anybody possess the true testimony of Jesus without that Spirit? |
| 46974 | And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
| 46974 | And how shall they hear without a preacher? |
| 46974 | And how shall they preach, except they be sent?" |
| 46974 | And if that is true, are not the spirits of men and women able to receive instruction and information when out of the body? |
| 46974 | And was not one of the offices of that Spirit to show them"things to come?" |
| 46974 | And will the Almighty reveal anything except to those who call upon him in faith? |
| 46974 | But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? |
| 46974 | But what was the nature of his preaching to those who were held in captivity? |
| 46974 | But who among all the sects of the age teaches it? |
| 46974 | By what law? |
| 46974 | Did not Christ promise his disciples that after he went away the Comforter should come? |
| 46974 | Did not the Apostle John behold a glorious vision and receive a grand revelation, when banished to the Island of Patmos? |
| 46974 | Did the Almighty ever commence a dispensation since the world began without a prophet to declare his word and without revealing his will? |
| 46974 | Do latter- day sectaries know more, understand better, and see clearer in divine things than did the Apostle Paul? |
| 46974 | Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles?" |
| 46974 | Do they not all declare that revelation ceased when John received his vision, recorded in the Book of Revelation? |
| 46974 | Do they not teach that though angels once ministered to men the day of their coming has long since passed? |
| 46974 | Does not the very fact that Christ said there would be false prophets, convey the idea that there would be true prophets also? |
| 46974 | Has God changed? |
| 46974 | Has anything"perfect"come upon modern Christendom except"perfect"confusion? |
| 46974 | Has not his work on earth always been conducted by men divinely chosen, appointed and inspired? |
| 46974 | Has the Spirit of God changed? |
| 46974 | Have they all perished? |
| 46974 | Have they any faith to call on God for a divine communication? |
| 46974 | How could there be any remnant left of the divine authority held by the apostles and priesthood of the original Christian Church? |
| 46974 | How could this, the greatest of all dispensations, be ushered in without a prophet and without revelation from God? |
| 46974 | Is Christ divided? |
| 46974 | Is it because that would sweep away the crutches of their lame and halting pretense and cast their false theory prone in the dust? |
| 46974 | Is it not the spirit of man that receives and stores up intelligence conveyed through the bodily senses? |
| 46974 | Is it possible that they are doomed to destruction? |
| 46974 | Is not the Almighty declared in scripture to be unchangeable? |
| 46974 | Is not the prediction of Isaiah the prophet concerning these times literally fulfilled? |
| 46974 | Is the Holy Ghost dead? |
| 46974 | Is there not as much need of divine revelation to settle religious feuds and doctrinal differences in the 20th century as at any previous period? |
| 46974 | Of works? |
| 46974 | On what grounds is such an irrational position assumed? |
| 46974 | Or have not men changed the ordinances and institutions of heaven, and built up churches and promulgated doctrines of their own? |
| 46974 | Or, have not men changed the order, ordinances, discipline, doctrines, and spirit of the Church of Christ? |
| 46974 | Ought not the inhabitants of the earth to be not only willing, but eager, to receive a message from the eternal worlds? |
| 46974 | That being true, how is it possible to believe that the Church of Christ had any existence on earth after that long continued darkness and apostasy? |
| 46974 | To the learned divines and contending sectaries of modern Christendom? |
| 46974 | To whom might it be expected that this angel should appear? |
| 46974 | Was not the gift of prophecy bestowed upon members of the Church of Christ as one of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit? |
| 46974 | Were not prophets established in the Church of Christ as members of his body? |
| 46974 | What is the reason of this transformation? |
| 46974 | What is the tree that has brought forth those excellent fruits? |
| 46974 | Who has authority to administer it? |
| 46974 | Who knows anything of the manner in which the ordinance should be solemnized? |
| 46974 | Why do they not continue the quotation and give the succeeding verses which form an integral part of the scriptural argument? |
| 46974 | Will it be claimed that this promised perfection has come? |
| 46974 | Will the eternal Father reject all these his children because they did not obey a law which was not made known to them? |
| 46974 | why are they then baptized for the dead?" |
| 35556 | Again what do we hear? 35556 But how could these men organize the church?" |
| 35556 | After the investigation of their complaints Joseph, in his journal, says:"Whatever can be the matter with these men?" |
| 35556 | And I now ask, in the absence of both Joseph and Hyrum, where was the authority lodged to lead the church and carry on the work of God? |
| 35556 | And now that this testimony is before the reader, I ask him: What is its value? |
| 35556 | And why? |
| 35556 | Both your father and George J. Adams told me of it-- the day you were blessed, do n''t you remember it? |
| 35556 | But what of all this? |
| 35556 | Did Joseph ordain any man to take his place? |
| 35556 | Did they know anything of this"revelation?" |
| 35556 | Does a man''s being a Prophet in this Church prove that he shall be the President of it? |
| 35556 | Father came to me and I said, Father, have you come? |
| 35556 | Had he been ordained a prophet? |
| 35556 | Has God made any mistake? |
| 35556 | Here is Brigham, have his knees ever faltered? |
| 35556 | How has every man who has gone on his own authority and left the Church, and undertaken to build up a Church to himself, succeeded? |
| 35556 | How has he prospered? |
| 35556 | How have we come at the Priesthood in the last days? |
| 35556 | If not, what can be the meaning of all this? |
| 35556 | In an address written to the saints by the prophet Joseph, under date of September 6th, 1842, he says: Again what do we hear? |
| 35556 | In desiring and ordaining Hyrum to fill his place had the prophet forgotten the"anointing"and"ordination"of his son? |
| 35556 | Is it worth while to stop to point out the inconsistencies of this testimony? |
| 35556 | Second, one day out in an open field, while considering the question,"why not go to Utah?" |
| 35556 | Supposing the First President is absent, who presides in council or in conference? |
| 35556 | Then upon whom devolved the Presidency? |
| 35556 | To controvert this testimony it is only necessary to refer to the"visions?" |
| 35556 | Was not the occasion worthy of such a statement? |
| 35556 | Was the church disorganized? |
| 35556 | What can be more absurd than this? |
| 35556 | What has he done? |
| 35556 | What manner of prophet is this? |
| 35556 | What then? |
| 35556 | What though it hath been preached by some through envy and strife, to paraphrase the words of Paul? |
| 35556 | Who are they who came here to these valleys of the mountains whose coming had been pointed out by the finger of God? |
| 35556 | Who are they who have built these Temples and erected edifices to the great Jehovah? |
| 35556 | Who was it? |
| 35556 | Why is it that we have nothing from him on the subject earlier than 1850? |
| 35556 | Why, just as they did who tried to establish"Strangism,"and"Rigdonism"and every other"ism"that has ever arisen? |
| 35556 | Why? |
| 35556 | Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you? |
| 35556 | Would it not have been at least more conclusive than the argument based on Mrs. Emma Smith being an"elect lady,"and her endorsement of"young Joseph?" |
| 35556 | Would it not have been opportune? |
| 35556 | have his lips ever quivered? |
| 36791 | Shall our own brethren drag the chain Which not even Russia''s menials wear? |
| 36791 | After recovery from the first consternation over the awful tragedy, they began to ask themselves, Who shall rule the Church? |
| 36791 | Among them Robert Browning answered the question in this characteristic sonnet:"Why? |
| 36791 | And does not the fact of the large Christian element in the Mormon religious system show that it must not be treated as a pagan religion? |
| 36791 | And to what better use could the money be put? |
| 36791 | And what has brought about this difference? |
| 36791 | And what was the policy pursued by the National Government toward them there? |
| 36791 | And where will you find a more heroic one than this of the Mormon people? |
| 36791 | And who will say that it is not wonderful and strangely unique? |
| 36791 | Are these all pretenders and knaves, or the willing dupes of such? |
| 36791 | Besides, let us ask the question, Who is responsible for the present state of affairs in Utah? |
| 36791 | But in the twenty years of missionary work what has been accomplished? |
| 36791 | Can a man excuse his practices to the country because of his religious belief? |
| 36791 | Did it die out? |
| 36791 | Do we see apostates? |
| 36791 | Having thus endeavored to answer the question, Why was polygamy promulgated? |
| 36791 | How many converts from Mormonism have been obtained? |
| 36791 | Is all of this endurance of trial with a devotion approaching heroism the outcome of charlatanism, hypocrisy, and libertinism? |
| 36791 | Is it_ just_? |
| 36791 | Is it_ wise_? |
| 36791 | Is not that slavery? |
| 36791 | Is not that the great doctrine of the Jesuit--"_The end justifies the means_"? |
| 36791 | It took the shape of a book entitled"Why am I a Liberal?" |
| 36791 | Jesus had given His life to redeem; why could they not help to save? |
| 36791 | Now, we raise the question,_ Can any Christian sect be easily annihilated?_ Should it be our desire to exterminate it? |
| 36791 | Now, we raise the question,_ Can any Christian sect be easily annihilated?_ Should it be our desire to exterminate it? |
| 36791 | Now, when the leaders commit perjury in that way, what can be expected from those who regard them as gods and as capable of no wrong act? |
| 36791 | Now, why is this? |
| 36791 | Now, with such natural resources, what might not Utah become? |
| 36791 | Now, with that practical example in mind, who would dare say that the scheme we advocate would not be effectual in breaking up polygamy? |
| 36791 | Should not the object of all our efforts be_ to reform it_--to purge the gold of its dross? |
| 36791 | The Lord is not coming down on the Wahsatch Mountains with horses and chariots of fire to deliver the persecuted(?) |
| 36791 | The great PUZZLE to solve is this: What remedies will be_ effective_ and accomplish the object in_ the shortest period of time_? |
| 36791 | The great question to be answered is: How are we to get rid of_ the erroneous doctrines of Mormonism_? |
| 36791 | The modest(?) |
| 36791 | The only questions to consider are: Is it_ lawful_? |
| 36791 | The question at once arises, WHY WAS IT PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES? |
| 36791 | There will then be a hand- to- hand combat between Truth and Error; and who can doubt as to the result? |
| 36791 | These shall I bid men, each in his degree Also God- guided, bear, and gayly too? |
| 36791 | Think you that a man would work under a Mormon bishop for one dollar a day when under a non- Mormon he could double his wages? |
| 36791 | Was not that man in moral slavery? |
| 36791 | Were restrictive influences provided? |
| 36791 | What if no black wrist feels the iron chain, When snow- white breasts must bear the scarlet stain? |
| 36791 | What if the old plantation homes in ruin lie, If Mormon temples proudly kiss the sky? |
| 36791 | What think you of the_ men_ who have toiled with unmurmuring bravery for months through dangers of ambush and storm and flood on their westward way? |
| 36791 | What was the object of the leaders in declaring it to be a divine revelation? |
| 36791 | What will be the end of all this suffering?" |
| 36791 | Who ever knew of any matter of interest being left to the people to act upon freely and unrestrainedly? |
| 36791 | Who ever knew of any proposition being debated in their conferences, or any nomination voted down by the people? |
| 36791 | Why not, then, encourage emigration thither of the right class? |
| 36791 | _ The people must acquiesce and think as they do._ IS THAT LIBERTY? |
| 36791 | and that different methods must be adopted to overcome its evils? |
| 36791 | let us now direct our attention to another and more important question, WHY IS POLYGAMY PRACTISED? |
| 36791 | where art thou?" |
| 59993 | And again, what do we hear? 59993 How shall we know,"ask the opponents of the Prophet,"that he really saw a vision, or that he received authority from heaven? |
| 59993 | Men and brethren,cried the assembled Jews on the day of Pentecost,"what shall we do?" |
| 59993 | Men and brethren,they cried,"what shall we do?" |
| 59993 | Then father asked this question:''If all that you tell me is true, why did you leave the Church?'' 59993 Where is the damned prophet?" |
| 59993 | Yes,said Joseph;"what shall we do, Brother Hyrum?" |
| 59993 | [ A] It is undoubtedly this manifestation that the Prophet has in mind when he writes in an address to the Church,And again what do we hear? |
| 59993 | After reading the names of the witnesses, he continued,"Mr. Cowdery, do you believe this book?" |
| 59993 | Again it may be asked, How can anyone bear corroborative testimony to the actuality of these visions? |
| 59993 | Anciently, the Apostle James wrote to the saints"Is any sick among you? |
| 59993 | And if this is so with finite men, how much more unready will the God of heaven be to approve His creatures''usurping His power and authority? |
| 59993 | And what is the"Book of Doctrine and Covenants"? |
| 59993 | And what is the"Book of Mormon?" |
| 59993 | And what is this famous Section 132 of the Book of Modern Scripture? |
| 59993 | And what really was the significance of this first vision? |
| 59993 | And what was this Priesthood restored by the heavenly messenger, John the Baptist? |
| 59993 | But why should they wait for further manifestations? |
| 59993 | But why? |
| 59993 | But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? |
| 59993 | Can Joseph Smith be believed in these assertions? |
| 59993 | Could he have been an imposter? |
| 59993 | How can children so reared look with the least degree of favor upon the social evil-- divorce? |
| 59993 | How can they wink at even the mildest forms of immorality and vice so common in the world today? |
| 59993 | How does this Higher Priesthood differ from the Lesser? |
| 59993 | How was it restored? |
| 59993 | How, then can anyone bear corroborative testimony of the actuality of that vision? |
| 59993 | How, then, can anyone bear corroborative testimony of the actuality of these visions? |
| 59993 | I am a dying man, and what would it profit me to tell you a lie? |
| 59993 | If you believe it to be true, why are you in Michigan?" |
| 59993 | Is it a matter of wonder, then, that the name of Joseph Smith is known the world over for good or for ill? |
| 59993 | Is it not possible that he was himself deceived about those things? |
| 59993 | Is not one ascent as good as another? |
| 59993 | Is there left to the world any excuse for not accepting his testimony? |
| 59993 | Is there no chance for his es cape? |
| 59993 | Now, what is the significance of this glorious vision of John the Baptist? |
| 59993 | Now, what is the significance of this second vision-- or of this series of visions? |
| 59993 | Of what consequence was a boy''s prophetic sight that the world should take cognizance of it? |
| 59993 | Of what importance is it in the story of man''s relationship to God? |
| 59993 | Of what importance is the family relationship either here or hereafter? |
| 59993 | Or is it not possible even that he lied deliberately about them? |
| 59993 | Or, what more, indeed, could now be given them? |
| 59993 | Said the Lord again, through the prophet Malachi, rebuking the disobedient children of Israel,"Will a man rob God? |
| 59993 | Shall the one become the partaker of glory and the other be consigned to hopeless perdition? |
| 59993 | Some one said,''Here is Mrs. Johnson with a lame arm; has God given any power to men now on earth to cure her?'' |
| 59993 | Still perturbed in mind, the Prophet turned to Hyrum and asked,"Brother Hyrum, you are the oldest, what shall we do?" |
| 59993 | The Reverend Mr. Lane of the Methodist church preached a sermon on the subject,''What Church Shall I Join?'' |
| 59993 | The living may by good chance hear it; but what provision has been made for the dead? |
| 59993 | Then, if the Lord gave freely to those who asked, and upbraided not, why should he not ask? |
| 59993 | Thereupon he turned to Porter Rockwell, and asked,"What shall I do?" |
| 59993 | Was he an impostor? |
| 59993 | Was there any need during the early part of the nineteenth century of the Christian era for a restoration of the Gospel? |
| 59993 | Was there at that time any need for a re- establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ? |
| 59993 | Was your testimony based on a dream, was it the imagination of your mind, was it an illusion, a myth-- tell me truthfully?'' |
| 59993 | What bearing has it on the story of the Restoration? |
| 59993 | What became of that priesthood after the passing of the apostles? |
| 59993 | What better or stronger testimony could be required? |
| 59993 | What could be the matter that their prayers were not answered? |
| 59993 | What did Joseph Smith do? |
| 59993 | What great far- reaching truths did the vision contain, that the religious world should still writhe under it? |
| 59993 | What is the nature of the marriage relationship in the sight of God? |
| 59993 | What more could the Prophet and his companion await? |
| 59993 | What more could they now expect? |
| 59993 | What will be the condition of men and women in the future life? |
| 59993 | Where was room for doubt? |
| 59993 | Which time did you tell the truth?" |
| 59993 | Why persecute me for telling the truth? |
| 59993 | Would he not certainly exercise the utmost care not to prescribe any test whereby those revelations might be detected as false? |
| 59993 | Would he then dare these men of superior literary ability to write a single revelation equal to the least of his? |
| 59993 | Would not so bold a declaration tempt even men of superior wisdom to pit themselves against the reputed man of God? |
| 59993 | Would not, rather, an intelligent impostor refrain from calling undue attention to his purported revelations? |
| 46243 | And their works are in the dark; and they say, who seeth us; and who knoweth us? |
| 46243 | Are there any qualifications that Mr. Smith should possess that he did not possess? |
| 46243 | Are we not bound then to yield, at least, our faith on the side of evidence? |
| 46243 | But where, we ask, is there one exception? |
| 46243 | But why not confer authority by ordination, as well as reveal the everlasting gospel? |
| 46243 | But will we then receive it? |
| 46243 | But, we ask, can any man testify that he KNOWS a false doctrine to be true, and still not be an impostor? |
| 46243 | Can a multitude of the nations of Joseph be found in Europe, Asia, or Africa, or in any of the adjoining islands? |
| 46243 | Can any man show that the gospel will not be restored by an angel, or that the Saints will not be called out of Babylon by a message from heaven? |
| 46243 | Can any one show any cause why Joseph Smith should not receive the ministering of an angel? |
| 46243 | Can this be said of any other people who have existed on the eastern hemisphere during the last 1700 years? |
| 46243 | Can you find a scheme more perfect than the one introduced by Mr. Smith? |
| 46243 | Can you find one equal to it in perfection? |
| 46243 | Can you find one that contains the one- twentieth part of the truth which his system contains? |
| 46243 | DIVINE AUTHORITY; OR THE QUESTION, WAS JOSEPH SMITH SENT OF GOD? |
| 46243 | Dare any other societies in all the world make such a promise unto the believers in their respective systems? |
| 46243 | Did Ezekiel predict the final gathering of Israel as an immediate result of the union of the two records of Joseph and Judah? |
| 46243 | Did Isaiah predict that the"deaf should hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind see out of obscurity, and out of darkness?" |
| 46243 | Did John predict that the Saints should receive a message from heaven, commanding them to come out of Babylon? |
| 46243 | Did John predict the restoration of the gospel by an angel? |
| 46243 | Did Martin Luther, Wesley, Whitfield, Swedenborg, or Irving think of this? |
| 46243 | Did the ancient saints teach baptism to the penitent believer for the remission of sins? |
| 46243 | Do you enquire what that view is? |
| 46243 | Does it not require a greater effort of mind to disbelieve such a scheme than it does to believe it? |
| 46243 | Fifth.--What else besides the"everlasting gospel"does the Book of Mormon profess to contain? |
| 46243 | For shall the work say of him that made it, he made me not? |
| 46243 | How came Mr. Smith, if a deceiver, to think of all this? |
| 46243 | How happens all this? |
| 46243 | How then did Mr. Smith obtain the office of an apostle, if Moroni had no authority to ordain him to such office? |
| 46243 | I answered,"Where is the church of Christ?" |
| 46243 | I enquired why not? |
| 46243 | I then inquired,"Are you in the church of Christ? |
| 46243 | If Joseph Smith were an impostor, whence his superior wisdom? |
| 46243 | If an impostor, how came Mr. Smith to discover this? |
| 46243 | If such a scheme can not be credited, where is there a scheme or system in the whole world that can be credited? |
| 46243 | If the records of two different tribes are to be joined in one, why not the Book of Mormon and the Bible be the two records? |
| 46243 | If then perfection characterizes every doctrine embraced in the great scheme of this modern prophet, who can say that he was not sent of God? |
| 46243 | If, then, you doubt the authority of Mr. Smith, how much more ought you to doubt the authority of every other man now on the earth? |
| 46243 | Now, how does this accord with the word of the Lord to Ezekiel upon the same subject? |
| 46243 | Now, how does this testimony of Joseph Smith agree with the book of John''s prophecy given on the Isle of Patmos? |
| 46243 | Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, he had no understanding? |
| 46243 | Out of the twelve tribes of Israel, why did he select only a branch of one tribe to people this vast continent? |
| 46243 | Reader, does not such a scheme savour very strongly of the truth? |
| 46243 | Second.--In what manner does Joseph Smith declare that a dispensation of the gospel was committed unto him? |
| 46243 | So did Mr. S. Did they teach the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Spirit? |
| 46243 | Were there any doctrines which he advocated adverse to scriptural doctrine? |
| 46243 | Were there any principles connected with his system inconsistent with the prophecies? |
| 46243 | What particular event or circumstance pertaining to the dispensation, of which he professed to hold the keys, has he excluded from his system? |
| 46243 | What power enervated his mind in laying the foundation of a church according to the ancient order? |
| 46243 | What then is lacking? |
| 46243 | What, but the power of God, could have revealed beforehand this unknown fact, demonstrated years after by actual discovery? |
| 46243 | Where is there a man, no matter how great his attainments, that can show Mr. Smith''s doctrine to be false? |
| 46243 | Where then is the discrepancy between the ancient and modern teachings? |
| 46243 | Who can not perceive the perfect harmony between Isaiah''s prediction and Mr. Smith''s testimony? |
| 46243 | Who dare oppose so great and perfect a system, without the least shadow of evidence to prove its falsity? |
| 46243 | Who that has examined his mission or system impartially, can bring even one evidence against it? |
| 46243 | Why did he not say, My doctrine is true, and if you will embrace it, you can be saved, and still remain where you are? |
| 46243 | Why did he not, like the Irvingites, assume the apostleship without an apostle to ordain him? |
| 46243 | Why did not this modern prophet, if a deceiver, form his deceptive scheme more in accordance with the opinions of the learned? |
| 46243 | Why not that person be Mr. Smith? |
| 46243 | Why? |
| 46243 | Will not our prejudices be as great then as they are now against Mr. Smith? |
| 46243 | Will they be any more ready to receive new revelations, visions, angels, or ancient sacred records than they are now? |
| 46243 | and why not Mr. Smith be the instrument in the hands of God in fulfilling this prophecy? |
| 46243 | or that Israel will not be gathered to their own lands through the instrumentality of more revelation? |
| 46243 | or that apostles and prophets will not be restored to the earth as in ancient times? |
| 46243 | or that the kingdom of God will not be set up in the latter days to break in pieces all other kingdoms? |
| 46243 | or that the record of the tribe of Joseph will not be joined with the Jewish record-- the Bible? |
| 46243 | or why should he choose a remnant of the tribe of Joseph to people ancient America? |
| 46243 | that the Book of Mormon is not the record of Joseph, about which Ezekiel prophesied? |
| 46243 | where, if not in America, has a land been peopled by a multitude of the nations of Joseph? |
| 46243 | why he should not be ordained an apostle, or prophet, or receive revelations and commandments from God? |
| 45054 | ''Will you take some wine?'' 45054 Do you pledge yourselves to keep the law of God on this land, which you never have kept in your own lands?" |
| 45054 | Do you pledge yourselves to see that others of your brethren who shall come hither do keep the laws of God? |
| 45054 | For behold, the mystery of Godliness, how great is it? 45054 I do not know,"the man replied,"how did you get hold of it?" |
| 45054 | Is there no virtue in the body politic? 45054 What for?" |
| 45054 | Where are you going? |
| 45054 | Who leads the camp? |
| 45054 | ''Then,''said Dr. Stone,''will you drink some brandy?'' |
| 45054 | ''Yes,''said Joseph,''I see you have; but you have not come to take off my leg, have you, sir?'' |
| 45054 | After air was quiet he turned to Dan Jones and whispered,"Are you afraid to die?" |
| 45054 | And what of the blood of men, women and children which had been shed by these human fiends? |
| 45054 | And will I appoint unto you, saith the Lord, except it be by law, even as I and my Father ordained unto you, before the world was? |
| 45054 | As for the priests, was not their craft in danger? |
| 45054 | Can it be possible that the traitor whom Porter Rockwell reports to me as being in correspondence with my Missouri enemies is one of my quorum? |
| 45054 | Commenting on their fears, President Joseph Smith stated:"What can be the matter with these men? |
| 45054 | Could they not be used to relieve the financial embarrassment of the family? |
| 45054 | Dan said,"Has that time come, think you? |
| 45054 | For behold, I am a son of God, in the similitude of his Only Begotten Son; and where is thy glory, that I should worship thee? |
| 45054 | Have not the twelve and most of the Church gone, and is not their counsel for us to follow? |
| 45054 | Have not they told us that our safety was not in Nauvoo, but in our removal westward? |
| 45054 | I have actually seen a vision, and who am I that I can withstand God, or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? |
| 45054 | I prayed, and God answered; but what could I do? |
| 45054 | If any one of them be right, which is it, and how shall I know it? |
| 45054 | If not what can be the meaning of all this? |
| 45054 | If not, before whom shall the''Mormons''institute a trial? |
| 45054 | In answer to the questions:"When will the wilderness blossom as the rose? |
| 45054 | In his great excitement and without meditation he exclaimed:"Why can not I obtain the book?" |
| 45054 | In the_ Times and Seasons_( Feb. 15) an editorial was published entitled:"Who Shall be our Next President?" |
| 45054 | Is it any wonder that they cried in the anguish of their souls unto the Lord, for relief from such inhuman treatment? |
| 45054 | Is not this a plea of justification for the loss of individuals, done in pursuance of that order? |
| 45054 | Joseph replied,"Yes: what shall we do, Brother Hyrum?" |
| 45054 | Joseph replied:''What did you say that for? |
| 45054 | Joseph then turned to Hyrum and said:"Brother Hyrum, you are the oldest, what shall we do?" |
| 45054 | Now, if our marital relations are not religious, what is? |
| 45054 | Or was there not some thing else deposited with the plates that might be used for such purpose? |
| 45054 | Or will I receive at your hands that which I have not appointed? |
| 45054 | Shall they apply to the court of the state of Missouri? |
| 45054 | Shall they apply to the federal courts? |
| 45054 | Shall they apply to the legislature of the state of Missouri for redress? |
| 45054 | Shall they summon a jury of the individuals who composed the mob? |
| 45054 | Shall we deal with the Jew? |
| 45054 | Should they go to the coast to be mustered out of service, or should that duty be performed by their company officers? |
| 45054 | Stone, can you not make another trial? |
| 45054 | The Promise of James Tested"In the midst of this war of words and tumult of opinions, I often said to myself, What is to be done? |
| 45054 | The Prophet said,''Do you believe in Jesus Christ?'' |
| 45054 | The candidate would step forward to the table, where Francis M. Higbee, a justice of the peace, was stationed, and he would ask:"Are you ready?" |
| 45054 | The following questions were frequently put and answered in this manner:"Where are you from?" |
| 45054 | Then Satan came, tempting him and commanding him to worship him, but Moses said:"Who art thou? |
| 45054 | Then looking up into my face, his eyes swimming in tears, he continued,''Now, mother, promise me that you will not stay, will you? |
| 45054 | They being seated, I addressed them thus:''Gentlemen, what can you do to save my boy''s leg?'' |
| 45054 | Turning to Rockwell he said,"What shall I do?" |
| 45054 | Was it strange that a century or so of this kind of work should produce a Luther? |
| 45054 | Was not this evidence that the"Mormons,"everywhere hated, were the common prey of their mortal enemies? |
| 45054 | Was this a new evil come upon them? |
| 45054 | Were they to submit peaceably to such attacks? |
| 45054 | What constitutes the kingdom of God? |
| 45054 | What did it matter though the whole world should laugh, if the Son of God would hearken to his humble pleadings? |
| 45054 | What interest have the Saints to expect from its defense? |
| 45054 | What is this office and work of Elijah? |
| 45054 | What then, we would respectfully ask, is the remedy of the''Mormons''? |
| 45054 | When Stephen Markham, who had gone to locate the brethren from Nauvoo, rode up, Reynolds said,"Do I meet you as a friend? |
| 45054 | When will Zion be built up in her glory, and where will thy temple stand, unto which all nations shall come in the last days?" |
| 45054 | Who could urge the propriety of exposing life to defend a place for the purpose of vacating it? |
| 45054 | Who of all these parties are right; or, are they all wrong together? |
| 45054 | Whom shall they sue? |
| 45054 | Why are they then baptized for the dead?'' |
| 45054 | Why send Elijah? |
| 45054 | Why should they put themselves out to do such a thing, when the property would naturally fall into their hands when it was abandoned? |
| 45054 | Why the opposition and persecution that arose against me almost in my infancy? |
| 45054 | Why, sir, of what use will this be for agricultural purposes? |
| 45054 | Why? |

| 47091 | Did not he go to you and tell you that an angel had appeared unto him and authorized him to get the horse from you? |
| 47091 | Has He paternity, or productive virtue without paternity? |
| 47091 | Have you had your pay? |
| 47091 | If He be the Word, did He emanate from God in time or before time? |
| 47091 | If He emanated from God, is He co- eternal and of the_ same_, that is_ identical_, substance with Him, or merely of a_ similar_ substance? |
| 47091 | Is He distinct from the Father, that is, separate from Him, or is He not? |

| 47091 | And Enoch beheld the Son of Man ascend up unto the Father; and he called unto the Lord, saying, Wilt thou not come again upon the earth? |
| 47091 | And Enoch said unto the Lord, How is it that thou canst weep, seeing thou art holy, and from all eternity to all eternity? |
| 47091 | And again Enoch wept and cried unto the Lord, saying, When shall the earth rest? |
| 47091 | And again, he that receiveth the word of truth, doth he receive it by the Spirit of truth or some other way? |
| 47091 | And also for the punishment of those who introduce or harbor them? |
| 47091 | And consulted for a long time, saying among themselves, What need hath my lord of this tower, seeing this is a time of peace? |
| 47091 | And for this cause the Lord said unto Peter: If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? |

| 47091 | And then received ye spirits which ye could not understand, and received them to be of God, and in this are ye justified? |
| 47091 | And then shall the Jews look upon me and say, What are these wounds in Thine hands and in Thy feet? |
| 47091 | And when Enoch heard the earth mourn, he wept, and cried unto the Lord, saying, O Lord, wilt thou not have compassion upon the earth? |
| 47091 | And when did poverty become a crime known to the law? |
| 47091 | And while they were yet laying the foundation thereof, they began to say among themselves, And what need hath my lord of this tower? |

| 47091 | For shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land? |

| 47091 | For, do you not behold that I have given unto my servant Joseph sufficient strength, whereby it is made up? |
| 47091 | He said:"And again, what do we hear? |

| 47091 | Is this true? |
| 47091 | May not the prophecy of Enoch have been among the scriptures with which Abraham was acquainted? |
| 47091 | Might not this money be given to the exchanges? |

| 47707 | Now do you not know that the Lord sent me already many hard tribulations? |
| 47707 | Now the Lord has said that He would set His hand the second time, and we ask, for what, but to recover the house of Jacob? |
| 47707 | Now the question is, unto whom is this dispensation to be given? |
| 47707 | Now what is this other Comforter? |
| 47707 | Now, I ask, what is a dispensation? |
| 47707 | Now, we ask, what is man? |
| 47707 | O, my father, what are the men going to do with you? |
| 47707 | One of the women came up, and very candidly inquired of the troops which of the prisoners was the Lord{ 201} whom the"Mormons"worshiped? |
| 47707 | Or by whom to be revealed? |
| 47707 | P. S.--If you do not intend to be in Quincy this week, would you favor us with your opinion on this subject? |

| 47707 | The mob cried out,"Dick Weldin''s dead; who killed Dick?" |
| 47707 | The only consolation they received from the mob, under these circumstances, was,"G---- d---- you, do you believe in Joe Smith now?" |
| 47707 | The woman then turning to me inquired whether I professed to be the Lord and Savior? |
| 47707 | Then what? |
| 47707 | There are many things published that they say are true, and again turn around and say they are false?" |
| 47707 | Therefore will I not make solitary places to bud and to blossom, and to bring forth in abundance, saith the Lord? |
| 47707 | They immediately hailed him, and cried out,''Say, stranger, G----d d---- you, what is your name?'' |
| 47707 | They said,"Then you, as a rational man, will give up Joseph Smith''s being a prophet and an inspired man? |
| 47707 | Third--"Will everybody be damned, but Mormons?" |
| 47707 | Thirteenth--"Are the Mormons abolitionists?" |

| 47707 | Was it for committing adultery that we were assailed? |
| 47707 | Were He alive today who, think you, would be nearer His heart,--the persecuted or the persecutors?" |
| 47707 | What art thou, O man, but dust? |
| 47707 | What compromise need there be, Judge King, for no"Mormons"had refused to surrender to the requisitions of the law? |
| 47707 | What is Boggs or his murderous party, but wimbling willows upon the shore to catch the flood- wood? |

| 47707 | Why do you startle at this, brethren? |
| 47707 | Why hast thou forsaken that law, and accepted instead of it lying and vanity? |
| 47707 | Why is this violence done to the principle of religious freedom, a principle that is both the pride and boast of the American people? |
| 47707 | Why not keep to truth and justice? |
| 47707 | Why should the authorities of the state strain at a gnat and swallow a camel? |
| 47707 | Why was this? |
| 47707 | Why, then, these bonds?" |
| 47707 | Why? |
| 47707 | Will you have them do so? |
| 47707 | Witness replied,"Why not?" |
| 47707 | Would you murder me? |

| 46635 | Are Saturn''s rings solid or liquid? |
| 46635 | Are the atmospheres of the planets like ours? |
| 46635 | Are they all eternal in their present combinations, or is it only the simple elements that are eternal? |
| 46635 | Are they built of the same materials as our planet? |
| 46635 | But how came they to have this"belief, purity and zeal?" |
| 46635 | But how can we prove that mud was deposited at the same rate then as now? |
| 46635 | But how does our infidel geologist set about his work of proving that the earth has any given age, say a thousand million years? |
| 46635 | But how is such an enormous heat kept up? |
| 46635 | But how much of it is really science to you? |
| 46635 | But then comes the great question: if granite is the lowest layer in the strata, what is below the{ 48} granite? |
| 46635 | But what are the pyramids to the Alps, which have been lifted by some power to an altitude thirty- three times the hight of the largest pyramid? |

| 46635 | Could all the wise men of Rome have explained to Julius Caesar the following dispatch, if given in prophetic vision? |
| 46635 | Could you truthfully say one- half, one- fourth, or even one- tenth? |
| 46635 | DID THE WORLD MAKE ITSELF? |
| 46635 | Did a mass of iron, for example, becoming discontented with its condition, suddenly change itself into a cloud of gas or a pail of water? |
| 46635 | Did it kindle of its own accord? |
| 46635 | Did the mist make itself? |
| 46635 | Do they show us a single reason why some parts of matter become organized and others do not? |
| 46635 | For what cause is the fortune of these countries so strikingly changed? |
| 46635 | For who can better direct me when I hesitate, or instruct me when I am ignorant? |
| 46635 | Had the world a Creator, or did it make itself? |
| 46635 | Has the moon an atmosphere? |
| 46635 | Has this earth existed as it is from eternity? |
| 46635 | Have we fifty- eight eternal substances? |
| 46635 | Have we not here one of the plainest admissions of the total apostasy of the so- called Christian church? |
| 46635 | Have you personally measured the diameter of the earth, observed the transit of Venus, or calculated the distance of the moon? |
| 46635 | He saith unto them,''Have ye here any meat?'' |
| 46635 | He would say,"In the year of Christ-- what does that mean? |
| 46635 | How far is the sun from the earth? |
| 46635 | How high above the earth is the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Light? |
| 46635 | How many colors in a ray of sun- light? |
| 46635 | How many of the most important affairs of life can be demonstrated by means of the multiplication table? |
| 46635 | How then is the nerve to be protected, and yet the sight not obstructed? |
| 46635 | How then shall we comprehend its distance from{ 56} us? |
| 46635 | If it could be proven that some stars shine, while others are dark; then why this difference? |
| 46635 | If it existed as a red hot fire- mist from eternity, why should it ever begin to cool at all? |
| 46635 | If it is any one of them, where did the others come from? |
| 46635 | If it required design to{ 58} fashion a metal type, did it not require a still greater design to form the hand that manipulates that type? |
| 46635 | If it required intelligence to make a pen, did it not require still greater intelligence to make the hand that wields the pen? |
| 46635 | If men should be convinced that they are only animals, and that God takes no notice of them, whose property would be safe? |
| 46635 | If such are the uncertainties of science to the actual investigators, what shall we say to him who has learned his science at school? |
| 46635 | If there is no authoritative revelation from God, what better are we than the brute creation? |
| 46635 | If this is not the teachings of idolatry, what is it? |
| 46635 | In other words,"Is it possible for vile Mahometans to understand and teach such a truth when it is not yet known to the assumed church of God?" |
| 46635 | Is it iron, or sulphur, or carbon, or oxygen? |
| 46635 | Is it matter; or is it a creative power, or energy added to matter?" |
| 46635 | It is, therefore, worth while to enquire, is science really so positive as these persons pretend? |
| 46635 | It may be asked, what is the use of so many lenses in the eye? |
| 46635 | It was asked,"Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" |
| 46635 | Lactantius asks,"Is there any one so senseless, as to believe that there are men whose footsteps are higher than their heads? |
| 46635 | Let the honest skeptic inquire,"How do these theories explain the cause of life? |
| 46635 | Now we are tempted to ask, who are these wonderful prodigies, so incapable of receiving instruction from anybody? |
| 46635 | Now what does science say on this subject? |
| 46635 | Now which of these is the eternal matter referred to? |
| 46635 | Now you have means, why do you not pay me the remainder? |
| 46635 | Now, says the skeptic, is it not possible that reptiles and birds lived upon the earth previous to the creation of beasts? |
| 46635 | Now, what is this power that has formed these glorious suns and sent them whirling onward through the cycles of the ages? |
| 46635 | Now, what was it that this heathen governor called a"superstition?" |
| 46635 | Of the nine hundred and forty- two substances mentioned in Turner''s Chemistry, how many have you analyzed? |
| 46635 | Or are all the elements eternal? |
| 46635 | Or, is it true that the students of the physical sciences have no certain knowledge of their theories? |
| 46635 | So we are landed back at the sublime question,_ did the paving stones make themselves_? |
| 46635 | Still, as might be expected, thinking men kept asking:"Where did the sun come from? |
| 46635 | Take away the persons and of what value are the things? |
| 46635 | That in some cases it is difficult to determine which predominated to the greatest extent, the characteristics of the reptile, the bat or the bird? |
| 46635 | That the crops and trees grow downwards? |
| 46635 | That the rains, snow and hail fall upward to the earth?" |
| 46635 | The United States may mean the states of Greece; but on what shore of the Mediterranean can Mexico and California be found?" |
| 46635 | The fleet put to sea at noon in the face of a full gale from the south- west?" |
| 46635 | The question therefore returns with double force,_ had the world a creator or did it make itself_? |
| 46635 | Then why is it any cooler now? |
| 46635 | Then, by what human sagacity was it predicted that the war must commence in South Carolina? |
| 46635 | Unpopular and penniless, if the gospel story were not true, how could it have had preachers? |

| 46635 | Was not this a sufficient supply for dinner and supper? |
| 46635 | Was there a rebellion in Spain? |
| 46635 | Was there an obscure philosopher in Germany writing down the results of his investigations? |
| 46635 | We presume there are few persons as ignorant as an infidel lecturer we once heard, who, when asked,"Who compiled the scriptures?" |
| 46635 | We reply by asking,_ Where does the Bible say so_? |
| 46635 | What can be more wretched than such a life, and what than such a death, when they could not be buried by their friends and relatives? |
| 46635 | What has become of those ages of abundance and of life? |
| 46635 | What implanted the belief of a judgment to come in the minds of{ 94} these heathen scoffers? |
| 46635 | What information could Aristotle gather from the fact that the electric telegraph was invented in 1844? |
| 46635 | What is the cause of the light and heat of the sun? |
| 46635 | What meaneth the heat of this great anger?" |
| 46635 | What melted it down into a fluid state fit to be splashed about? |
| 46635 | What shall we say of a space so vast, that this light must travel a year, a hundred, aye, even a thousand years before it reaches its destination? |
| 46635 | What then is the tendency of their teachings? |
| 46635 | What was it that enabled the early Saints of all ranks and all ages, of both sexes likewise, to joyfully meet death in its most horrid forms? |
| 46635 | What was it that made large numbers of the best men in Europe hate both the Catholic and Protestant religions? |
| 46635 | When Christ, as a Divine Being, or as a man divinely commissioned, dies out of the popular faith, what then? |
| 46635 | When Peter asked the manner of John''s death, the Savior replied,"''If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?'' |
| 46635 | Whence proceeds that mighty force which men call by that name? |
| 46635 | Where did the comet come from? |
| 46635 | Where did the fire come from? |
| 46635 | Where is the greatness of Egypt, Nineveh, Babylon and Petra? |
| 46635 | Who has not dropped a tear over the dying words of Socrates? |
| 46635 | Who knows that fact? |
| 46635 | Who put the fire and the mist together? |
| 46635 | Who shall assure us that virtue has a reward, or that there is any such thing as virtue? |
| 46635 | Who shall comfort the hearts that mourn? |
| 46635 | Who shall stimulate the love of brotherhood, and move men to works of benevolence? |
| 46635 | Who then would strive to raise the world out of its beastly degradation? |
| 46635 | Who would be secure from the unrestrained ravages of every base passion that finds its home in the human heart? |
| 46635 | Whose life would be sacred? |
| 46635 | Why are so many cities destroyed? |
| 46635 | Why did Ricetto, Bruno and Servetus in the hour of martyrdom turn with loathing from that sacred emblem, the crucifix? |
| 46635 | Why is not that ancient population reproduced and perpetuated? |
| 46635 | Why, then, it may be asked, did they not all become Christians? |
| 46635 | Why? |
| 46635 | and thy own mighty transcendent, god- like soul, dost thou not call that a revelation?" |
| 46635 | from whence proceed such melancholy revolutions? |
| 46635 | { 36} And what has been the result of all this? |
| 47192 | ''What for?'' 47192 ''What name?'' |
| 47192 | ''Where are you going?'' 47192 ''Who leads the camp?'' |
| 47192 | And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water, and the eunuch said, See, here is water, what doth hinder me to be baptized? 47192 And the disciples came and said unto Him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? |
| 47192 | But,said they,"is there not some one among you{ 70} whom you call your captain, or leader, or who is superior to the rest?" |
| 47192 | How, then, shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? 47192 Jesus saith unto them, Have you understood all these things? |
| 47192 | Well,said the scoffer,"what did you gain on this useless journey to Missouri with Joseph Smith?" |
| 47192 | What thing? |
| 47192 | Where are you going? |
| 47192 | And besides, are not those who hold slaves, persons of ability, discernment and candor? |
| 47192 | And further, if he was accepted of God, what were the ordinances performed further than the offering of the firstlings of the flock? |
| 47192 | And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? |
| 47192 | And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
| 47192 | And how shall they hear without a preacher? |
| 47192 | And how shall they preach, except they be sent? |
| 47192 | And if Abel was taught of the coming of the Son of God, was he not taught also of His ordinances? |
| 47192 | And if it had ordinances what were they? |
| 47192 | And if it was the Gospel, and that preached in the name of Christ, had it any ordinances? |
| 47192 | And if you were afraid that your horses and property would be stolen in a strange country, would you not watch and keep guards?" |
| 47192 | And is not the Gospel the news of the redemption? |
| 47192 | And now, I ask, how righteousness and truth are going to sweep the earth as with a flood? |
| 47192 | And now, why tarriest thou? |
| 47192 | And what shall others receive who do not labor faithfully, and continue to the end? |
| 47192 | And what was he to receive? |
| 47192 | And why? |
| 47192 | Are not such manifestly fitter witnesses than those who are untried? |
| 47192 | Are our people bound to pay the ferriage on their return? |
| 47192 | Are they to be accounted wholly deplorable, or as part of that experience of the Church which makes for advancement? |
| 47192 | Are they to be found? |
| 47192 | As for the calamitous events of the Church during the Kirtland period, what shall we say of them? |
| 47192 | But I speak concerning my churches abroad-- there are many who will say, where is their God? |
| 47192 | But if this life is all, then why this constant toiling, why this continual warfare, and why this unceasing trouble? |
| 47192 | But what after all are such periods but times of purification, of cleansing? |
| 47192 | But what of the world-- what of men? |
| 47192 | But what saith He to His disciples? |
| 47192 | Can we mistake such language as this? |
| 47192 | Can we suppose that He has a kingdom without laws? |
| 47192 | Consequently have need of nothing to govern or regulate them? |
| 47192 | Could it flourish? |
| 47192 | Could it prosper? |
| 47192 | Did I say congregations would gnash their teeth at you? |
| 47192 | Do not they need some such evidence back of those who shall testify of a new dispensation of the Gospel? |
| 47192 | Do they not expect to give an account at the bar of God for their conduct in this life? |
| 47192 | Do we not descend below our own knowledge, and the better wisdom which heaven has endowed us with, by such a course of conduct? |
| 47192 | Do we not offer violence to our own good judgment when we deny the second coming of the Messiah? |
| 47192 | Do we offer violence to the Supreme Intelligence of heaven, when we admit the truth of its teachings, and do not obey them? |
| 47192 | Does your conduct merit such censures as exist against you? |
| 47192 | Eight-- Shall any intelligence relative to the building up of Zion be withheld from the Council of Zion? |
| 47192 | Fifth-- By what authority was one of the High Councilors disfellowshiped in the name of the High Council without their knowledge? |
| 47192 | For a moment reflect: what could have been the purpose of our Father in giving to us a law? |
| 47192 | Fourth-- Have two presidents authority to lay out a city, and build a House of God; independent of the counsel of the High Council? |
| 47192 | From whence, then, hath it tares? |
| 47192 | Had you not fought the good fight, and kept the faith, could you expect to receive? |
| 47192 | Has not bitter experience taught you that they are the same now? |
| 47192 | Have you a promise of receiving a crown of righteousness from the hand of the Lord, with the Church of the First Born? |
| 47192 | He finally asked:"Does Mr. Smith live here?" |
| 47192 | He then asked:"Wherein do you differ from other Christian denominations?" |
| 47192 | He then read the revelation,[ 10] and said: Have you desired this ministry with all our hearts? |
| 47192 | How could Abel offer a sacrifice and look forward with faith on the Son of God for a remission of his sins and not understand the Gospel? |
| 47192 | How could a government be conducted with harmony if its administrators were possessed with such different dispositions and different principles? |
| 47192 | How is it that these old Apostles should say so much on the subject of the coming of Christ? |
| 47192 | How will the serpent ever lose his venom, while the servants of God possess the same disposition, and continue to make war upon it? |
| 47192 | How, then, is the Lord to dwell in Zion if Zion be not built up? |
| 47192 | I said they were snakes''eggs-- eat snakes''eggs, will you? |
| 47192 | I would now ask if each one of the Twelve has not an equal right to the same accommodations from that store, provided they are alike faithful? |
| 47192 | If I could or could not, would this be an honor or dishonor to me? |
| 47192 | If in any other name, was it the Gospel? |
| 47192 | If not, to what end serves the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and why was it ever communicated to us? |
| 47192 | If not, was it the Gospel? |
| 47192 | If slavery be an evil, who could we expect would first learn it: Would the people of the free states, or the people of the slave states? |
| 47192 | If the Saints are not to reign, for what purpose are they crowned? |
| 47192 | If the Savior in former days laid His hands upon His disciples, why not in latter days? |
| 47192 | If the fact were learned first by those immediately concerned, who would be more capable than they of prescribing a remedy? |
| 47192 | If the whole family of man were as well off without them as they might be with them, for what purpose or intent were they ever given? |
| 47192 | If there is, why not that Being who had power to place us here, inform us something of the hereafter? |
| 47192 | Is there nothing further; is there no existence beyond this vail of death which is so suddenly to be cast over all of us? |
| 47192 | May not the Lord have designed in part this expedition of Zion''s Camp for their instruction, for their training? |
| 47192 | Now if God should give no more revelations, where will we find Zion and this remnant? |
| 47192 | Now, before proceeding any farther, I wish to ask one or two questions: Were the Apostles men of God, and did they preach the Gospel? |
| 47192 | Now, what is like unto it? |
| 47192 | Or do we believe that it is composed of an innumerable company of beings who are entirely beyond all law? |
| 47192 | Remember, brethren, that He has called you unto holiness; and need we say, to be like Him in purity? |
| 47192 | Second-- By what authority was a committee appointed and ordained to superintend the building of the House of the Lord? |
| 47192 | Shall they pollute that kingdom, or shall they be cast out as material unfitted for the Master''s use, and of their own volition choose to remain so? |
| 47192 | Some experiences may be sad, and accounted at the time as disastrous; but are they really so? |
| 47192 | The following questions were frequently put and answered:"''My boy, where are you from?'' |
| 47192 | The question--"Was it, or was it not, the design of Christ to establish His Gospel by miracles?" |
| 47192 | The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? |
| 47192 | Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? |
| 47192 | Then who is to be the judge in this matter? |
| 47192 | They granted my request, and as we passed them they bawled out,"Do you get any revelations lately?" |
| 47192 | Third-- By what authority was Jacob Whitmer ordained to the High Priesthood? |
| 47192 | This, then, we conclude, was the purpose of God in giving His laws to us: if not, why, or for what were they given? |
| 47192 | To whom did God testify of the gifts of Abel, was it to Paul? |
| 47192 | Was it that God wanted to merely show that He could talk? |
| 47192 | Was it that it might be obeyed, or disobeyed? |
| 47192 | Was that without significance? |
| 47192 | We all admit that the Gospel has ordinances, and if so, had it not always ordinances, and were not its ordinances always the same? |
| 47192 | We would reply to this gentleman, Paul we know, and Christ{ 269} we know, but who are ye? |
| 47192 | What course can sooner divide our union? |
| 47192 | What nearer friend on earth, or in heaven, had Judas than the Savior? |
| 47192 | What order is here? |
| 47192 | What then? |
| 47192 | What was the cause of this? |
| 47192 | What, then, could have induced him to undergo all this toil? |
| 47192 | What, we ask, was this law added to, if it was not added to the Gospel? |
| 47192 | When or where has God suffered one of the witnesses or first Elders of this Church to fall? |
| 47192 | When will man cease to war with man, and wrest from him his sacred rights of worshiping his God according as his conscience dictates? |
| 47192 | Where is one like Christ? |
| 47192 | Who can rightly estimate the value of the experiences of that movement for the redemption of Zion, called Zion''s Camp? |
| 47192 | Who comprehends it now? |
| 47192 | Who hath counted His buffaloes? |
| 47192 | Who hath seen all His deer on a thousand prairies? |
| 47192 | Who hath viewed His everlasting fields? |
| 47192 | Who in the Christian world taught them? |
| 47192 | Who is as holy as He was? |
| 47192 | Who is as perfect? |
| 47192 | Who is as pure? |
| 47192 | Who understood even the first principles of the doctrines of Christ? |
| 47192 | Who, among all the Saints in these last days, can consider himself as good as our Lord? |
| 47192 | Who, at the time comprehended the full import of this incident? |
| 47192 | Why is this so? |
| 47192 | Why? |
| 47192 | Will a hundred dollars do you any good?" |
| 47192 | Will the mere admission, that this is the will of heaven ever benefit us if we do not comply with all his teachings? |
| 47192 | Would harmony prevail? |
| 47192 | Would it not be asserting that man had found out a secret beyond Deity? |
| 47192 | Would not such ideas be a reproach to our Great Parent, and at variance with His glorious intelligence? |
| 47192 | Would order be established, and could justice be executed in righteousness in all branches of its departments? |
| 60708 | And the Lord called unto Adam and said unto him, Where art thou? 60708 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" |
| 60708 | Try the spirits,but what by? |
| 60708 | Try the spirits,says John, but who is to do it? |
| 60708 | What then? 60708 Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of His servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? |
| 60708 | ''What''said he,''I be baptized?'' |
| 60708 | And again, verily I say unto you, how shall your washings be acceptable unto me, except ye perform them in a house which you have built to my name? |
| 60708 | And can it be expected that a man will be called by revelation who does not believe in revelation? |
| 60708 | And how can these gifts be obtained without revelation? |
| 60708 | And how were Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers and Evangelists chosen? |
| 60708 | And if this was not the case, I would ask, how did Paul know so much about Abel, and why should he talk about his speaking after he was dead? |
| 60708 | And many among them shall stumble"( Isaiah viii: 14, 15); but"have they stumbled that they should fall? |
| 60708 | And the Lord said: Whom shall I send? |
| 60708 | And was not the penalty inflicted upon them for that transgression, captivity in Babylon seventy years? |
| 60708 | And what will the world say? |
| 60708 | And whom did He foreknow? |
| 60708 | And why did He love the one and hate the other? |
| 60708 | And why have they not obtained it? |
| 60708 | And why? |
| 60708 | And will you not begin quickly to return with usury that which you have received? |
| 60708 | And"who are the called according to His purpose?" |
| 60708 | Angels would hide their faces, and devils would be ashamed and insulted, and would say,"Paul we know, and Jesus we know, but who are ye?" |
| 60708 | Are Captain Cornelius Gilliam and his company out by legal authority, or are they mobbers? |
| 60708 | Are men, then, to be saved by works? |
| 60708 | Are the curtains of heaven withdrawn, or the purposes of God developed? |
| 60708 | Are we able to receive it? |
| 60708 | Are we to try them by the creeds of men? |
| 60708 | As soon as he had read one of them, he looked upon us with a half frown, and said,"What can I do? |
| 60708 | As yet exaltest thou thyself, against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?" |
| 60708 | At what period do you look for this event? |
| 60708 | Because Jacob''s works had been righteous, and Esau''s wicked, and where is there a righteous father who would not do the same thing? |
| 60708 | Besides, what would the venerable John Wesley,( if he{ 236} were alive) say to such conduct? |
| 60708 | But is responding to the calls of humanity so rare a thing in a Christian state, that it must needs be regarded as so exceptional in this case? |
| 60708 | But it may be asked how Mr. Baxter could get a sign from a second person? |
| 60708 | But some may say, how can this be, I am not there, therefore I can not meet in the Temple, can not be baptized in the font? |
| 60708 | But, say you, what can we do to accomplish this great and desirable object? |
| 60708 | Cain found it so when he presented an unrighteous offering, for God said unto him,( Gen. iv:7),"If thou dost well, shalt thou not be accepted?" |
| 60708 | Can the same be said of a similar assemblage in any other city in the Union? |
| 60708 | Certainly not; and if such ignorance as this is manifested about a spirit of this kind, who can describe an angel of light? |
| 60708 | Could any one tell the length, breadth or height of a building without a rule? |
| 60708 | Did not the Apostle speak the truth? |
| 60708 | Did those high born and noble feelings lie dormant, or were you insensible to the treatment we received? |
| 60708 | Do ye not know the Saints shall judge the world? |
| 60708 | Do you believe in election and reprobation? |
| 60708 | Do you believe in the restitution of your nation to the land of your fathers, called the land of_ promise_? |
| 60708 | Does He not reveal things differently from what we expect? |
| 60708 | For these wrongs, the"Mormons"ought to have some redress; yet how and where shall they seek and obtain it? |
| 60708 | Had any of us better come back this fall? |
| 60708 | Have they been guilty of shedding innocent blood, to that extent since their return, that they were before they were taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar? |
| 60708 | Have they ever been guilty of idolatry at all since their return from Babylon? |
| 60708 | Have they seen and conversed with an angel-- or have the glories of futurity burst upon their view? |
| 60708 | Have we not a right to sympathize with each other? |
| 60708 | Have you no feelings of commiseration? |
| 60708 | He said, if God has appointed him, and chosen him as an instrument to lead the Church, why not let him lead it through? |
| 60708 | How can a man communicate that which he is not in possession of?) |
| 60708 | How doth he yet speak? |
| 60708 | How long, O Lord, shall iniquity triumph, and sin go unpunished? |
| 60708 | How shortsighted and unstatesman- like it would have been for the men of Illinois not to have welcomed these settlers into their state? |
| 60708 | How then, shall these things be accomplished and your souls be satisfied? |
| 60708 | How, it may be asked, was this known to be a bad angel? |
| 60708 | I prayed and God answered, but what could I do? |
| 60708 | If Satan should appear as one in glory, who can tell his color, his signs, his appearance, his glory?--or what is the manner of his manifestation? |
| 60708 | If condemning and crucifying Jesus of Nazareth was not the cause of this great evil, what was the cause of it? |
| 60708 | If not of all of it, which does He recognize? |
| 60708 | If not, before whom shall the"Mormons"institute a trial? |
| 60708 | If the keys of the Kingdom have been committed to my hands, who shall open out the mysteries thereof? |
| 60708 | If the revelations we have received are true, who is to lead the people? |
| 60708 | In answer to which, if repentance, baptism, and faith existed prior to the days of Christ, what necessity for them since that time? |
| 60708 | Independent of this, however, where do we read of a woman that was the founder of a church, in the word of God? |
| 60708 | Is God the author of all this? |
| 60708 | Is Nauvoo, or Commerce, to be the general point of concentration for the Mormon people? |
| 60708 | Is it not sin? |
| 60708 | Is it possible that we labor in vain and toil for nought, and that we shall be disappointed at the last? |
| 60708 | Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? |
| 60708 | Is not God good? |
| 60708 | Is not repentance and abandonment of sin safe, so long as God commands, and stands ready to look after the consequences? |
| 60708 | Is not this a plea of justification for the loss of individuals, done in pursuance of that order? |
| 60708 | Is not this passiveness evidence? |
| 60708 | Is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob a just God? |
| 60708 | Is there any intelligence communicated? |
| 60708 | Is there no chance for his escape? |
| 60708 | Is this correct? |
| 60708 | It is easy for us to say now, but if we had lived in her day, which of us could have unravelled the mystery? |
| 60708 | It may be asked by some, what necessity for sacrifice, since the Great Sacrifice was offered? |
| 60708 | It may be asked, where is there anything in all this that is wrong? |
| 60708 | Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? |
| 60708 | Know ye not that we shall judge angels? |
| 60708 | No one is excepted who hath aught in his possession, for what have ye that ye have not received? |
| 60708 | None ever were perfect but Jesus; and why was He perfect? |
| 60708 | Of such we would ask, who gave you your time, health, strength, and put you into business? |
| 60708 | On what was anciently called Mount Zion,[ Moriah?] |
| 60708 | Or can you better dispose of the property than we are doing for your interest? |
| 60708 | Or is it your design to crush us with a ponderous load before we are able to walk? |
| 60708 | Or shall they do business in the name of the Church? |
| 60708 | Or what shall we do? |
| 60708 | Or will any man submit to ordination for the fulfillment of a revelation or call, in which he hath no faith? |
| 60708 | Permit me to ask whether this is a proper return for the confidence we have bestowed, and for the indulgence we have extended? |
| 60708 | Shall the one become the partaker of glory and the other be consigned to hopeless perdition? |
| 60708 | Shall they apply to the court of the state of Missouri? |
| 60708 | Shall they apply to the federal courts? |
| 60708 | Shall they apply to the legislature of the state of Missouri for redress? |
| 60708 | Shall they summon a jury of the individuals who composed the mob? |
| 60708 | Shall we print the Book of Mormon in this country immediately? |
| 60708 | Shall we then be saved by faith? |
| 60708 | She has been grievously afflicted and smitten; she has mourned; she has wept; her enemies have triumphed, and have said,''Ah, where is thy God?'' |
| 60708 | Should we deem it necessary to publish an edition of hymn- books in any country, are we at liberty to do it? |
| 60708 | That they were to stay there? |
| 60708 | The Prophet said''Do you believe in Jesus Christ?'' |
| 60708 | The brethren here are very anxious to emigrate to that country; some want to come this fall: where shall they go? |
| 60708 | The court, after hearing the counsel, adjourned about half past six p. m. When I was at dinner, a man rushed in and said,"Which is Jo Smith? |
| 60708 | The following discourse took place in our own neighborhood: Curate: What religion may you be, my good woman? |
| 60708 | Then is it not right to repent of it? |
| 60708 | They knew the"Mormons"were innocent, and the citizens of Missouri wrong? |
| 60708 | They may have among them bad and desperate characters, and what community has not? |
| 60708 | To do what? |
| 60708 | To feed its hungry and clothe its naked with the$ 2,000? |
| 60708 | Was not Abraham, our father, justified by works( v. 21)? |
| 60708 | Were there not benefits which the Saints could bestow upon the state in return for the heartiness of the reception given? |
| 60708 | What chance is there for infidelity when we are parting with our friends almost daily? |
| 60708 | What church do you usually attend? |
| 60708 | What greater love hath any man than that he lay down his life for his friend; then why not fight for our friend until we die? |
| 60708 | What is the damnation of hell? |
| 60708 | What is the matter here? |
| 60708 | What is the reason that the Priests of the day do not get revelation? |
| 60708 | What is the sign of the healing of the sick? |
| 60708 | What then may be said of the Prophet''s claims in respect to the municipal powers of Nauvoo? |
| 60708 | What then shall we do? |
| 60708 | What think you should be done? |
| 60708 | What think you should be done? |
| 60708 | What will become of our brethren in the faith? |
| 60708 | What will become of our class meetings? |
| 60708 | What will become of our society? |
| 60708 | What will the conference say? |
| 60708 | What, then, we would respectfully ask, is the remedy of the"Mormons?" |
| 60708 | When was it written? |
| 60708 | When will these things cease to be, and the Constitution and the laws again bear rule? |
| 60708 | When? |
| 60708 | Where are those mobbers now? |
| 60708 | Where can we turn our eyes to behold such another? |
| 60708 | Where is it written? |
| 60708 | Where is the man that is free from vanity? |
| 60708 | Where is the sect, where the community, in which there can not be found some who trample under foot the laws of God and man? |
| 60708 | Where was the love which ought to characterize the Saints of the Most High? |
| 60708 | Where were the bowels of compassion? |
| 60708 | Who can detect the spirit of the French prophets with their revelations and their visions, and power of manifestations? |
| 60708 | Who could have told whether the power of Simon, the sorcerer, was of God or of the devil? |
| 60708 | Who is sufficient for these things? |
| 60708 | Who knows the mind of God? |
| 60708 | Who shall solve the mystery? |
| 60708 | Who that has a heart to feel, or a soul to rejoice, will not be glad at so glorious a plan of deliverance? |
| 60708 | Who would be willing to suffer what he has suffered, and labor near twenty years, as he has done, for the wealth he is in possession of? |
| 60708 | Who would not love an affectionate and obedient son more than one who was disobedient, and sought to injure Him and overthrow the order of His house? |
| 60708 | Whom{ 38} shall they sue? |
| 60708 | Why are they then baptized for the dead?" |
| 60708 | Why are they then baptized for the dead?" |
| 60708 | Why did God say to Pharaoh,"For this cause have I raised thee up"? |
| 60708 | Why do I not do it? |
| 60708 | Why do ye not rather take wrong? |
| 60708 | Why send Elijah? |
| 60708 | Why stand in the way when he is appointed to do a thing? |
| 60708 | Why then this prejudice and persecution? |
| 60708 | Why this wonderful change? |
| 60708 | Why were they a peculiar people? |
| 60708 | Why? |
| 60708 | Why? |
| 60708 | Why? |
| 60708 | Will the Twelve have to be together to do business as a quorum? |
| 60708 | Will they all be damned for not obeying the Gospel, when they never heard it? |
| 60708 | Would it not have been, under all the circumstances, the gravest of blunders for Illinois to have refused asylum to these exiles? |
| 60708 | You ask,"When will these things cease to be, and the Constitution and the laws again bear rule?" |
| 60708 | and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? |
| 60708 | and no man take it to heart? |
| 60708 | have I not seen it? |
| 60708 | how much more things that pertain to this life? |
| 60708 | inquired the other,"wherein does he teach false doctrine?" |
| 60708 | new revelations in the old churches? |
| 60708 | test the quality of metals without a criterion, or point out the movements of the planetary systems, without a knowledge of astronomy? |
| 60708 | { 505} why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? |
| 60708 | { 573} Every one of these professes to be competent to try his neighbor''s spirit, but no one can try his own, and what is the reason? |
| 44896 | Ah,said he,"how did you happen to lose him?" |
| 44896 | Brother Parley,said he,"how have you done all this? |
| 44896 | But what did they preach? 44896 But what will you do? |
| 44896 | Did they charge you for your keeping? |
| 44896 | Did you preach to the people? |
| 44896 | How did the man heal your eyes? |
| 44896 | How do you do it? |
| 44896 | How is this that you know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened my eyes? 44896 How so?" |
| 44896 | How were they dressed, and in what style did they travel? |
| 44896 | How were your eyes opened and made well? |
| 44896 | Is he well? |
| 44896 | Is he willing? |
| 44896 | Is he yet alive? |
| 44896 | Is the signer able to meet his engagements? |
| 44896 | Is this the pattern of the Christian Church, the model for the organization in all after times? 44896 Is your father living? |
| 44896 | May I rely on you to aid me in collecting the descendants of Christopher Pratt? 44896 Now, father,"said I,"how is this? |
| 44896 | Now,said he,"where is our Philip? |
| 44896 | O, my beloved friends, have the people of this western country been led in darkness for so many years by learned and reverend gentlemen? 44896 Perhaps, then, you intend to be his disciple, to join the''_ Mormons_?''" |
| 44896 | Then you admit they are genuine bills? |
| 44896 | Tried? 44896 Well, brethren, how do you do?" |
| 44896 | Were they well? |
| 44896 | What about''em? 44896 What is the price of land in that country now?" |
| 44896 | What part of Indiana are you from? |
| 44896 | Which way shall we go? |
| 44896 | Why should the authorities of the State strain at a gnat and swallow a camel? 44896 Why, then, are we at a loss in judging of the various systems which, in modern times, claim to be the church of Christ? |
| 44896 | Will they return soon? 44896 Yes,"said I,"brother, you have guessed right; but what will I do for a saddle?" |
| 44896 | You saw them, then? |
| 44896 | _Now, William,"said I,"are these the words of Jesus Christ, or are they not?" |
| 44896 | After expressing some surprise, the lady inquired what was the peculiar nature of the gospel, as held by himself and his Church? |
| 44896 | And he said:"When did I ever reveal anything unto you in a dream and it failed to come to pass?" |
| 44896 | And how many children and grandchildren has each of these cousins? |
| 44896 | And this in time of peace, and in a republic where the constitution guaranteed to every citizen the right of trial by jury?" |
| 44896 | And why do you call them prophets?" |
| 44896 | And, again, he that receiveth the word of truth, doth he receive it by the spirit of truth, or some other way? |
| 44896 | Are motives wanting still to prompt my love, And kindle my soul''s affection to its Highest, purest flame? |
| 44896 | As I drew near, all wet and dripping, I cried out very sociably, saying:"Sir, can you entertain a drowning man here this terrible night?" |
| 44896 | As he approached, I reflected as follows: Why should such a man as I fear? |
| 44896 | As he entered the door Mrs. P. raised her anxious and sorrowful eyes, and eagerly inquired:"Have you seen my husband?" |
| 44896 | Besides, how are you to get your living? |
| 44896 | But hast thou seen no miracle? |
| 44896 | But still they teased her for particulars,"What did this man do?" |
| 44896 | But whar mought you live, stranger?" |
| 44896 | But who is Mr. Rigdon? |
| 44896 | But, can they hide the Governor''s cruel order for extermination or banishment? |
| 44896 | By what authority?" |
| 44896 | Can an impostor do it?" |
| 44896 | Can an impostor impose upon that man in this age? |
| 44896 | Can an impostor open the eyes of the blind?" |
| 44896 | Can he introduce a wild beast, a fowl, a serpent, a man dismembered of his head, eyes, ears, hands, or feet? |
| 44896 | Can they conceal the blood of the murdered husbands and fathers, or stifle the cries of widows and orphans? |
| 44896 | Can they conceal the fact of the disgraceful treaty of the generals with a portion of their own officers and men at Far West? |
| 44896 | Can you divine them? |
| 44896 | Could he pass any of these upon his fellow men as constituting the human body; the model or pattern answering to the former description? |
| 44896 | Did I say congregations would gnash upon you? |
| 44896 | Did John Wesley open the eyes of the blind? |
| 44896 | Did you hear anything of the four great prophets out that way?" |
| 44896 | Did you say the appointment was not given out?" |
| 44896 | Did you say you cotched one on''em? |
| 44896 | Echo answers, where? |
| 44896 | For what does he pray? |
| 44896 | Had_ He_ no love? |
| 44896 | Has not bitter experience taught you that they are the same now? |
| 44896 | Has some Elijah call''d and found them in the last Extreme, and multiplied their meal and oil? |
| 44896 | Have they perished? |
| 44896 | He asked the old gentleman what he thought of Joseph Smith being a Prophet? |
| 44896 | He caught up the Book and inquired,"Whose is this?" |
| 44896 | He replied in the same rough and careless manner,"You damned rascals, what is yours?" |
| 44896 | He then read the revelation and said:"Have you desired this ministry with all your hearts? |
| 44896 | How do you cross this river?" |
| 44896 | How far is it?" |
| 44896 | How is this? |
| 44896 | How many children had Obadiah? |
| 44896 | How many children had each of our uncles and aunts, the brothers and sisters of our father? |
| 44896 | How shall I meet an entire community bowed down with grief and sorrow unutterable? |
| 44896 | How shall I meet the aged and widowed mother of these two martyrs? |
| 44896 | How shall I meet the sorrowing widows and orphans? |
| 44896 | How shall we get a clue to them? |
| 44896 | How then will you live?" |
| 44896 | How, then, can I observe the ordinances of God and keep his commandments?" |
| 44896 | I accordingly made for a house; but how was I to account for being a traveller, and on foot-- as nearly all men in that country travel on horseback? |
| 44896 | I answered,"Whereby shall I know that this message is from the Lord?" |
| 44896 | I replied to him in the language of the New Testament:"Doth our law judge a man before it hear him?" |
| 44896 | I said to him,"you will not remain fastened to anything; how then can I pull you to pieces?" |
| 44896 | I then heaved a deep sigh, and feeling exhausted and almost discouraged, I exclaimed to myself half aloud, how long shall I wander and find no rest? |
| 44896 | I then inquired of him if he had seen any stray"nags"in his neighborhood? |
| 44896 | I thought to myself,"well, this is a poor place to come for money, and yet I must have it; I know of no one else that has got it; what shall I do?" |
| 44896 | I tried to prevail upon him, making use of the figure, supposing that he should get into a mud hole would he not try to help himself out? |
| 44896 | I would ask how horse tracks came to be imbedded in the petrified rock of Kentucky, without a horse to make them? |

| 56684 | Where have we the account given that the earth was divided in the days of Peleg? |
| 56684 | Wherefore? |
| 56684 | Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counselor, hath taught him? |
| 56684 | Who is it? |
| 56684 | Who was he? |
| 56684 | Who were they? |
| 56684 | Why is faith the first principle in this revealed science? |
| 56684 | Why is it necessary? |
| 56684 | Why is your countenance fallen? |
| 56684 | Why was he called the Son? |
| 56684 | Why would it prevent him from exercising faith in God? |
| 56684 | Would an idea of these three things lay a sure foundation for the exercise of faith in God, so as to obtain life and salvation? |
| 56684 | Would it be possible for a man to exercise faith in God, so as to be saved, unless he had an idea that God was love? |
| 56684 | Would the idea of any one or two of the above- mentioned things enable a person to exercise faith in God? |
| 56684 | Would you exert yourselves to obtain wisdom and intelligence, unless you did believe that you could obtain them? |
| 56684 | Would you have ever asked, unless you had believed that you would receive? |
| 56684 | Would you have ever planted, if you had not believed that you would gather? |
| 56684 | Would you have ever sought, unless you had believed that you would have found? |
| 56684 | Would you have ever sown, if you had not believed that you would reap? |
| 56684 | Your food, your raiment, your lodgings, are they not all by reason of your faith? |
| 56684 | _ Question_.--Is there a being who has faith in himself, independently? |
| 56684 | and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? |
| 56684 | and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
| 56684 | and how shall they hear without a preacher? |
| 56684 | but how little a portion is heard of him? |
| 56684 | or in other words, where shall we find a saved being? |
| 56684 | or what is the difference between a saved man and one who is not saved? |
| 56684 | or where is the saved being? |
| 56684 | or who hath been his counselor? |
| 56684 | or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? |
| 45846 | Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,& c. Now, sir, is it at all incredible that an angel should come to men? |
| 45846 | Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted, and slain them which told before of the coming of the Just One? |
| 45846 | _ Say not thou what is the cause that the former days were better than these? 45846 A great and wise man, or obscure and ignorant, or an old or young man? 45846 Again, can the people of this country obtain a correct knowledge of the prophet through the religious prints? 45846 Again, it may be asked, will not those who have died without the knowledge of the gospel, during many centuries past, perish for want of the gospel? 45846 And how are the sons of the mighty fallen? 45846 And may they not do more good to their fellow- men by scattering about amongst the people promiscuously? 45846 And what could he do to disabuse the public mind? 45846 And where is the justice of leaving persons to perish, for want of that which it is not in their power to obtain? 45846 And who comes next to receive a message for all nations, and hold the keys of revelation for all nations? 45846 And who is he? 45846 And will not such a remission and forgiveness of sins be as valid as though He administered the ordinance of baptism himself? 45846 Angels have once tried to preach another gospel; and what has been the result of their efforts? 45846 Are not our preachers very grave, and apparently devoted and holy in their bearing? 45846 Are the children instructed in learning and religion? 45846 Are they not orthodox and evangelical, insisting much upon the new birth and a radical change of heart? 45846 Are we not scrupulously guarded against all levity and trifling conversation? 45846 Are you offended? 45846 Are_ they_ done away too? 45846 As her little ones would often inquire at the door of the waggon,how is ma''? |
| 45846 | At this time, and in this day of revivals, where were the ten thousands of priests that officiate at the altar? |
| 45846 | But He has a body; and what is His body like unto? |
| 45846 | But grovelling unbelief will ask, how can such an immense city be let down to the earth, or suspended over it, and contiguous to it? |
| 45846 | But how did he propose to exercise all that power which was given him both among the nations of the earth and in heaven? |
| 45846 | But how is the true Church to show forth all the omniscience and potency of Jesus? |
| 45846 | But how long a time does she want to run for this prize of"unity of faith,& c.?" |
| 45846 | But if the righteous scarcely escape, where shall the sinner and ungodly appear? |
| 45846 | But shall the knowledge of Christ be buried in oblivion because his acts and sayings can not be written? |
| 45846 | But was the faith of Paul, and of the Judaic church generally, the faith of immediate revelation or the faith of miracles? |
| 45846 | But what faith are they to have in order to receive it? |
| 45846 | But what harm in all this? |
| 45846 | But what shall I say of time- honoured orthodoxy? |
| 45846 | But where are they now? |
| 45846 | But, in reply to my own question, why the ancient religionists opposed Jesus Christ? |
| 45846 | But, say they, have we not got the good old Bible, which makes men wise unto salvation? |
| 45846 | But, where were the statesmen that make high professions of patriotism, and sensitive regard for the national honor of the United States? |
| 45846 | By what faith shall the just live? |
| 45846 | Can any man know God without faith? |
| 45846 | Can it be supposed for a moment, that the Church is prevailed against, because it is removed from the earth? |
| 45846 | Did he not thereby acquire the possession of all things in heaven and upon earth? |
| 45846 | Did he not triumph over death, and ascend up on high, and lead captivity captive? |
| 45846 | Did not the Lord apportion off the land of Canaan to the twelve tribes to be their inheritance for ever? |
| 45846 | Did the message that Joseph received, lead him to disfellowship all the religious systems of the day, as incompatible with the primitive pattern? |
| 45846 | Did they hear of it? |
| 45846 | Do not you believe the scripture that saith,"except a man be born of the WATER and of the spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God?" |
| 45846 | Do temperance lecturers, bible and education agents, and other moral reformers find it necessary to carry on their enterprises by such means? |
| 45846 | Do the Mormons suffer much persecution? |
| 45846 | Do their lives show that they do sincerely believe and love the apostolic gospel which they profess? |
| 45846 | Do they not fast often and pray much? |
| 45846 | Do they seek to avoid an open and frank discussion with the intemperate portions of the community? |
| 45846 | Do we forget that all men are to be judged out of the books? |
| 45846 | Do you also ask what kind of organization this Church has? |
| 45846 | Do you ask why I make such a bold declaration, and how I know this seemingly exclusive and uncharitable truth? |
| 45846 | Do you ask, if I call baptism a saving ordinance? |
| 45846 | Do you not believe that the walls of Jericho fell down under the simple blast of the rams''horns? |
| 45846 | Do you not preach, sir, the ancient faith spoken of in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews, for modern believers to imitate? |
| 45846 | Do you say, are they credible witnesses? |
| 45846 | Do you think there is too much power invested in this chosen order of men? |
| 45846 | Does he appear at the head of his troops as a military commander? |
| 45846 | Does he appear at the head of his troops as a military commander?" |
| 45846 | Does he claim to be inspired? |
| 45846 | Does not the word by Joseph commend itself to every man''s conscience where it is heard with due candour? |
| 45846 | Has he ceased wholly from the earth? |
| 45846 | Has he not a right to say by what ordinance sins shall be remitted? |
| 45846 | Has he not a right to say who are fit subjects for baptism? |
| 45846 | Has not Christ died? |
| 45846 | Has not Jesus Christ a right to remit sins by baptism unto repentance? |
| 45846 | Has there been the like fanaticism since the time of the crusades? |
| 45846 | Hast thou lost all admiration for the Spirit''s miraculous gifts, power, and blessing? |
| 45846 | Have ye received the Holy Ghost_ since_ ye were baptized? |
| 45846 | He drove him into an extremity for pretending to work miracles; did n''t he? |
| 45846 | How can Christ come with his ten thousand Saints, and descend with a shout? |
| 45846 | How can it be that a people of this description are not pious and exceedingly holy? |

| 45846 | How could Jesus ascend up till the eye could see his person no longer? |
| 45846 | How could Peter know Jesus, when he heard his conversation and preaching? |
| 45846 | How could the STONE, containing it, ever have been CUT OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN WITHOUT HANDS, if it had never been put_ into the mountain_? |
| 45846 | How could the angel fly through the midst of heaven, that the prophets Zechariah, John, and Daniel saw speaking to the young man Joseph? |
| 45846 | How do birds fly in the air, and vast planets hang on nothing? |
| 45846 | How do devoted sectarians entertain the Latter- day Saints? |
| 45846 | How do men have the testimony of Jesus? |
| 45846 | How is it, sir, that devils do not trouble modern churches, as they did the primitive saints? |
| 45846 | How long shall men wage a war of scandal, extermination, and massacre against the advocates of miracles? |
| 45846 | How long shall this treatment of the Saints be persisted in? |
| 45846 | How many inhabitants has the city of Nauvoo? |
| 45846 | How will Saints, by tens of thousands and millions, be caught up to meet him in the air? |
| 45846 | How, then, are these innumerable kingdoms governed? |
| 45846 | I reply, How can the earth be suspended in vacant space? |
| 45846 | If Christ has power on earth to forgive and remit sins, may He not send forgiveness and remission by another, even by whom he will? |
| 45846 | If Isaac and Ishmael have no records of parentage, how can one claim rights of lineage above another? |
| 45846 | If it can not forecast events beyond the mere common prescience of human minds, how can the wise man foresee the evil in time to hide himself? |
| 45846 | In conclusion, do you ask if the Apostolic Church is again re- established, where is it? |
| 45846 | Is he a man of prayer? |
| 45846 | Is it a thing incredible with you, sir, that God should remit sins through baptism? |
| 45846 | Is it not God that justifies? |
| 45846 | Is it not also credible, that God should employ an angel to carry a message to the nations? |
| 45846 | It would give me great pleasure to learn, also, how you are employed? |
| 45846 | Jehovah speaking? |
| 45846 | Jesus was removed from this life and gave up the ghost, but was he therefore prevailed against? |
| 45846 | Might we not as soon think the spirit has grown old to dotage, or lost his first love, or been beguiled into other pursuits of less importance? |
| 45846 | Must the best constitution, ever given to any uninspired nation, be made the sport of traitors and demagogues? |
| 45846 | Must the sons of venerated puritans so soon be covered with the inglorious gore of assassinations and belligerent carnage? |
| 45846 | Must thy cities be laid waste, whose lofty spires rival the mountain- tops, in courting the earliest sunbeams of the morning? |
| 45846 | Now, may not the reply that would fit them be applicable to the advocates of modern christianity? |
| 45846 | Now, sir, to which of these sides do you belong? |
| 45846 | Now, sir, what has become of this miraculous and almighty spirit? |
| 45846 | Now, sir, what objection can there be for a man sent from God to remit sins by baptism, in the name and by the authority of the King of heaven? |
| 45846 | Now, sir, when I have conceded most liberally to the above, what does it all prove? |
| 45846 | Now, to what man might we expect an angel would bring such a message of vast importance? |
| 45846 | Now, was the young man Joseph_ the_ man, or look we for another? |
| 45846 | Now, when God shall build up Zion and his Holy House in the tops of the mountains, and all nations flow into it, will He not appear in his glory? |
| 45846 | Or is it incredible that he should come soaring, or"_ flying_ in the midst of heaven to earth?" |
| 45846 | Reverend and Dear Sir,--A question has sometimes been asked concerning infants-- with what bodies will they come forth? |
| 45846 | Reverend and Dear Sir,--You have doubtless been ready to ask, time and again, why this GATHERING together of such large bodies of Saints? |
| 45846 | Says he,"else why are ye baptized for the dead?" |
| 45846 | Shall I attempt to describe the scene at Nauvoo on that memorable evening? |
| 45846 | Surely He never wrought so lazily, or in such imbecility and indifference in any other age, when true believers or prophets were on the earth? |

| 45846 | Was it a marvellous tale that he told? |
| 45846 | Was it an airy, invisible, evanescent, mystical_ nothing_, which some would denominate spirit? |

| 60758 | Deponent asked,"What have you against Joseph Smith? |
| 60758 | Deponent said,"Did William Law know your business?" |
| 60758 | Did He ever concoct anything that was devilish for mankind? |
| 60758 | Did I build on any other man''s foundation? |
| 60758 | Did I not give him the liberty of disbelieving any doctrine I have preached, if he saw fit? |
| 60758 | Did he ever injure you?" |
| 60758 | Did the ancient Apostles, Prophets, or Saints who died pay too much for that kingdom? |
| 60758 | Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles?" |
| 60758 | Do you ask what is wanting? |
| 60758 | Do you know the source from whence you derive your knowledge? |
| 60758 | Do you think I would trouble this conference with it? |
| 60758 | Does it follow that he is continually to be followed for the same offense? |
| 60758 | Does not this look like many others of our prosecutions with which you are acquainted? |
| 60758 | Every time a line was formed in Far West, he was there-- for what? |

| 60758 | Foster said--"I do not feel at liberty to answer this question, under existing circumstances?" |
| 60758 | General, will you stand neutral? |
| 60758 | Good? |
| 60758 | Had you not rather enjoy the society of Saints than sinners whom you can not love? |
| 60758 | Has God forgotten to be gracious, to be merciful to mankind? |
| 60758 | Has the Gospel of the kingdom commenced in the last days? |
| 60758 | Has the Lord spoken in these last days, and required us to build Him a house? |
| 60758 | Has the majesty of American liberty sunk into such vile servitude and oppression, that justice has fled? |

| 60758 | Have you not received the Holy Ghost, by receiving the Gospel which we have brought unto you? |
| 60758 | He further asked if he ever preached anything like the"plurality of wife"doctrine to her other than what he had preached in public? |
| 60758 | How are we to keep peace in the city, defend ourselves against mobs, and keep innocent blood from being shed? |

| 60758 | I again asked him--"Did I ever misuse you?" |
| 60758 | I am ready to be offered a sacrifice for this people; for what can our enemies do? |
| 60758 | I ask, Did I ever exercise any compulsion over any man? |
| 60758 | I inquired what they would do with those people of Nauvoo who would not fight? |
| 60758 | I insert the following article from the_ Times and Seasons_:-- WHO SHALL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT? |
| 60758 | I replied, I should think he was a rascal: but who has had such a trial as that? |
| 60758 | I said,"Do you call that democracy or mobocracy?" |
| 60758 | I then asked Justice Aaron Johnson--"Did I ever make oath before you against Simpson?" |
| 60758 | I then asked him if Hyrum could be put in his way so that no man would mistrust him, would you kill him? |
| 60758 | I then asked him--"Have I ever misused you any way?" |
| 60758 | I then asked--"Did I ever wrong you in deal, or personally misuse you in any shape?" |
| 60758 | I then said:"If we undertake that, Governor, when the proper time comes, will you interfere?" |
| 60758 | I wish to ask if ever I got any of it unfairly? |
| 60758 | I would ask the Latter- day Saints, Do you know your benefactors? |
| 60758 | I would ask, who built up this city? |
| 60758 | If I have not reproved you in the gate? |
| 60758 | If a man leaves the principles of the doctrine of Christ, how can he be saved in the principles? |
| 60758 | If he was guilty of breaking jail, why not try and punish him for that before that court? |
| 60758 | If indignation, how would you curse the heartless wretches that have so desecrated and polluted the temple of liberty? |
| 60758 | If not, what can be the meaning of all this? |
| 60758 | If the Catholic church is bad, how can any good thing come out of it? |
| 60758 | If the Catholic religion is a false religion, how can any true religion come out of it? |
| 60758 | If the angels found a God in heaven able to give instructions, shield them from sword and famine,& c., why have we not found Him? |
| 60758 | If the whole tree is corrupt, are not its branches corrupt? |
| 60758 | If this is the best, the most patriotic, the most free, what is the situation of the rest? |
| 60758 | If we are ignorant, what knowledge have the rest of the people? |
| 60758 | If we pass only a fine or imprisonment, have we any confidence that they will desist? |
| 60758 | If you do not, your turn may come next; and where will it cease? |
| 60758 | If, then, our charter gives us the power to decide what shall be a nuisance, and cause it to be removed, where is the offense? |
| 60758 | If, then, this is the case, can we conscientiously vote for a man of this description, and put the weapons into his hands to cut our throat with? |
| 60758 | In a short time after my guide came and said aloud,"Joseph, Joseph, what are you doing there?" |
| 60758 | In the presence of such difficulties, what was to be done? |
| 60758 | Is he still illegally and unconstitutionally to be held in abeyance by these miscreants? |
| 60758 | Is it not the principle of the Saints to mingle together and promote the great cause in which they are engaged? |
| 60758 | Is it written? |
| 60758 | Is liberty only a name? |
| 60758 | Is protection of person and property fled from free America? |
| 60758 | Is there no power anywhere to redress our grievances? |
| 60758 | Is there wisdom in Zion? |
| 60758 | Is this the gracious boon for which your fathers fought and struggled and died? |
| 60758 | It shall be said in time to come, Where are our old policemen? |
| 60758 | James A. McCanse was called by the court and asked,"Do you subscribe to the decision of Mr. Johnson in the matter?" |
| 60758 | Jesus, if they were called Gods unto whom the word of God came, why should it be thought blasphemy that I should say I am the son of God? |
| 60758 | Joseph replied,"Yes; what shall we do, Brother Hyrum?" |
| 60758 | Joseph said to Rockwell,"What shall I do?" |
| 60758 | Joseph then turned to Hyrum, who was talking with Cahoon, and said,"Brother Hyrum, you are the oldest, what shall we do?" |
| 60758 | Judging from what is past, how will it be when God sets up His kingdom in the last days? |
| 60758 | Marshal Greene asked one of the officers if anything was destroyed except what belonged to the press? |
| 60758 | Mayor put his finger on it and said--"What is that?" |
| 60758 | Mayor stepped through the door into the entry by the foot of the stairs, and the General( Mayor) asked him what he wished? |
| 60758 | Men have a right to take and read what papers they please;"but do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" |
| 60758 | Missouri lacks the disposition and Congress lacks both the disposition and power(? |
| 60758 | Mr. Doniphan said--"You little devil you, what are you doing here with this fire?" |
| 60758 | Mr. Stigall went out, and Joseph said to Dr. Richards,"If we go into the cell, will you go in with us?" |
| 60758 | Must I, then, be thrown away as a thing of naught? |
| 60758 | Now was this merely confined to the living, to settle difficulties with{ 252} families on earth? |
| 60758 | Now, let me ask one for facts; Was there ever such a place on the earth as Egypt? |
| 60758 | Now, query-- Could Moses have obtained the law if he had stayed in the midst of the children of Israel, instead of going up on to the mountain? |
| 60758 | Now, will you help us to build the Nauvoo House and Temple? |
| 60758 | Now, ye Elders, will you be faithful? |
| 60758 | O humanity, where hast thou hidden thyself? |
| 60758 | On whom has oppression fallen in any quarter of our Union? |
| 60758 | Or could you, even the speculators, have sold your lands for anything here, if the Saints had not come? |
| 60758 | Patriotism? |
| 60758 | Paul, what do you say? |
| 60758 | Perhaps some of you are ready to ask,"Can not the Lord save us as well where we are as to gather together?" |
| 60758 | President, U.S., who shall be our next?, 39. |
| 60758 | Question: Who? |
| 60758 | Says one, Suppose we are not satisfied that this is the work of God? |
| 60758 | Shall our national banner, which floated so proudly in the breeze at the Declaration of Independence, be disgraced and refuse to show its motto? |
| 60758 | Shall the liberty which our fathers purchased at so dear a price be wrenched from the hand of their children? |
| 60758 | Shall we suffer our pockets to be picked through the influence of these scoundrels eternally, by defending ourselves against vexatious lawsuits? |
| 60758 | Shall wisdom cry aloud, and her speech not be heard? |
| 60758 | The first question then is, What is a mathematical problem? |
| 60758 | The poor among them put sixpence, fifty cents or a dollar into the box to carry out that object; and can the Latter- day Saints do nothing? |
| 60758 | The question is frequently asked"Can we not be saved without going through with all these ordinances,& c.?" |
| 60758 | The same morning after Hyrum had made ready to go-- shall it be said to the slaughter? |
| 60758 | The same witnesses reply,_ Certainly._ And was he a Prophet? |
| 60758 | Then why query about it? |
| 60758 | This stranger asked--"Where are{ 139} those men going?" |
| 60758 | Under these circumstances, the question again arises, Whom shall we support? |
| 60758 | Was Eli Norton of the police? |
| 60758 | Was it the Mormons or our enemies who first commenced these difficulties? |
| 60758 | We had been outrageously imposed upon, and knew not how far we could trust anyone; besides, a question necessarily arose, how shall we come? |
| 60758 | We have come out to reap, but do we have time to reap new grain? |
| 60758 | We have found these men covenant- breakers with God, with their wives,& c. Have we any hope of their doing better? |
| 60758 | We went through and told the Saints these things; but did the churches do as God commanded? |
| 60758 | We wonder whether they now believe that they are, or not? |
| 60758 | Were we maturing plans to corrupt the world, to destroy the peace of society? |
| 60758 | What are we to say about these kidnappers who infest our borders and carry away our citizens-- those infernals in human shape? |

| 60758 | Why, then, should we be dragged to Carthage, where the law does not compel us to go? |

| 60758 | and who told you? |
| 60758 | and why are thy features so terribly distorted? |
| 60758 | and why art thou terrified? |
| 60758 | did you never think of this before? |
| 60758 | has it come to this, that freeborn American citizens must be kidnapped by negro drivers? |
| 60758 | how such a thing looks, that the Saints should be afraid of beating one another in the election, or being beat? |
| 60758 | or even against Joseph H. Jackson or the Laws, until they came out against the city? |
| 60758 | or how is it to be fulfilled? |
| 60758 | that thy face should gather blackness? |
| 60758 | to ROB men of their property rights, without avenging them? |
| 60758 | we have three Gods anyhow, and they are plural: and who can contradict it? |
| 60758 | what would you do if you were here? |
| 60758 | wilt thou not give to every honest man a heated dart to sting those wretches while they pollute the land? |
| 60758 | wilt thou not_ open the trap door_ to the pit of ungodly men, that they may stumble in? |
| 60758 | { 13} Then do you believe what we say? |
| 60758 | { 295} Are we now, indeed, in a land of liberty, of freedom, of equal rights? |
| 45464 | Jesus, what are you going to do? |
| 45464 | The mind of man-- the immortal spirit-- where did it come from? |
| 45464 | Was,did I say? |
| 45464 | What is the name of angels in the pure language? |
| 45464 | What is the name of men? |
| 45464 | What is the name of the Son of God? |
| 45464 | Who shall deliver me from this body of death? |
| 45464 | [ A] Then, in further attestation of the reality of his existence, as if to put away all doubt, he said,Have ye here any meat?" |
| 45464 | ( Whoever heard of a dark light? |
| 45464 | *** Again, how can the relative be conceived as coming into being? |
| 45464 | *** Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? |
| 45464 | *** Was the world[ universe], always in existence and without beginning? |
| 45464 | *** What did Jesus say,"Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are Gods? |
| 45464 | **** And the Lord said unto him, arise, why hast thou fallen? |
| 45464 | **** Jesus, if they were called Gods unto whom the word of God came, why should it be thought blasphemy that I should say I am the Son of God? |
| 45464 | **** The scriptures inform us that Jesus said,"As the Father hath power in himself, even so hath the Son power"--to do what? |
| 45464 | **** What sort of a being was God in the beginning? |
| 45464 | 9:3), and accept this as a reasonable interpretation of the passage stating so definitely that"God is a fire"? |
| 45464 | And as the Psalmist says also:"Whither shall I flee from_ thy face_? |
| 45464 | And have you not read too in the same chapter that"God created man in his own image; male and female created he them?" |
| 45464 | And he said unto me: What desirest thou? |
| 45464 | And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?" |
| 45464 | And if this was not the case, I would ask, how did Paul know so much about Abel, and why should he talk about his speaking after he was dead? |
| 45464 | And is Jesus, now in his resurrected, immortal body of flesh and bones, less"infinite"than before his spirit was united to his body? |
| 45464 | And now I arraign them before their favorite text, and I ask them, What think ye of Christ? |
| 45464 | And now I ask, as I did in my discourse,_ is Jesus God_? |
| 45464 | And now, is Jesus Christ without form? |
| 45464 | And the Lord said: Whom shall I send? |
| 45464 | And the earth itself, then, what of that? |
| 45464 | And where was the beginning of such proceedings? |
| 45464 | And where was there ever a father without first being a son? |
| 45464 | And why do thoughts arise in your hearts? |
| 45464 | And why does he retain any conception of God at all, but that he retains some portions of an imperfect humanity? |
| 45464 | Are there any limits that can be conceived? |
| 45464 | Are they not all ministering_ spirits_ sent to minister for them who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?" |
| 45464 | As for the spirit of man-- the mind-- who can say what its metes and bounds are, much less what they shall be? |
| 45464 | Born there? |
| 45464 | But I have a text to propose to them:_"What think ye of Christ? |
| 45464 | But even had the light lacked brightness, would the gods have been powerless to comprehend it?) |
| 45464 | But how came Orson Pratt acquainted with Hebrew? |
| 45464 | But how was this to be accounted for? |
| 45464 | But in order to illustrate this, let us inquire, What is our destiny? |
| 45464 | But to resume our inquiry: Is Jesus Christ immutable, unchangeable? |
| 45464 | But what is the sum of my argument thus far on Mr. Van Der Donckt''s premise of God''s absolute"simplicity"or"spirituality?" |
| 45464 | But where does this leave Jesus? |
| 45464 | But, says one,"Does not that oneness mean one person?" |
| 45464 | By the way, should we not also conclude that David had wings? |
| 45464 | Can any one, can Mr. Van Der Donckt himself, be quite sure of all this? |
| 45464 | Can it be? |
| 45464 | Conclude we, then, with the Psalmist:"All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee?" |
| 45464 | Could plainer words be found to teach that angels, both good and bad, are spirits, devoid of bodies? |
| 45464 | Did he create any of these things out of nothing? |
| 45464 | Did the finite body, taken on by the spirit of Jesus, communicate its limitations to God? |
| 45464 | Did the materials then originate? |
| 45464 | Did they not converse, have knowledge, read books? |
| 45464 | Do we ascribe to him a fixed purpose? |
| 45464 | Do we conceive him as knowing and determining? |
| 45464 | Do we speak of him as continuing unchanged? |
| 45464 | Do you believe it? |
| 45464 | Do you believe it? |
| 45464 | Do you mean to say we were all in existence on the sixth day? |
| 45464 | Do you not believe that the spirit will endure forever? |
| 45464 | Do you not believe that_ I am in the Father and the Father in me? |
| 45464 | Does he possess body, parts and passions? |
| 45464 | Does not that bespeak a pre- existence of another personage besides the Almighty? |
| 45464 | Does this refer to the birth of the body of flesh and bones? |
| 45464 | Else of what significance are the following passages? |
| 45464 | For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee? |
| 45464 | For who is there of all flesh, that had heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?" |
| 45464 | Grant immortality to man and God for his guide, what is there in the way of intellectual, moral, and spiritual development that he may not aspire to? |
| 45464 | Had God a body(_ Latin corpus_) what sense would there be in St. Paul''s corporally or bodily? |
| 45464 | Has God a body then? |
| 45464 | Has any man received a fulness at once? |
| 45464 | Has he? |
| 45464 | Has it life and intelligence and power to think and reflect? |
| 45464 | Has not the Reverend gentleman placed for comparison here the most dissimilar passages that perhaps could be found in the whole Bible? |
| 45464 | Have we reached a point wherein we may receive the fulness of God, of his glory and his intelligence? |
| 45464 | Have you any further proof of God''s being in the form of a man? |
| 45464 | Have you not also read in the New Testament that he is called our elder brother? |
| 45464 | Have you not read, in the New Testament, that Jesus Christ was the first- born of every creature? |
| 45464 | He said to him,"Where wast thou when I laid the foundation of the earth? |
| 45464 | He said: Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of these works do ye stone me? |
| 45464 | He said:"_ In what then_[ in whose name then]_ were you baptized_?" |
| 45464 | He was born according to man in the flesh, and why not his younger brethren have a similar birth with him in the spirit? |
| 45464 | Hence, if Jesus had a Father, can we not believe that he[ that Father] had a Father also? |
| 45464 | How can the infinite become that which it was not from the first? |
| 45464 | How do you learn this? |
| 45464 | How does it read in Hebrew? |
| 45464 | How doth he yet speak? |
| 45464 | How have we come at the Priesthood in the last days? |
| 45464 | How is it, then, that he is your elder brother? |
| 45464 | How long will they inhabit it? |
| 45464 | How long? |
| 45464 | How, then, can God be like man? |
| 45464 | If God is a person, how can he be everywhere present? |
| 45464 | If I ascend into heaven, thou art there; If I descend into hell thou art there?" |
| 45464 | If Mr. V. holds to the God of his creed, what becomes of all his"philosophy?" |
| 45464 | If any one of them be right, which is it, and how shall I know it? |
| 45464 | If man may not rise to the height of divinity, how shall this prayer of the Christ be realized? |
| 45464 | If so, then what advantage has the Christian over the Hindoo whom he has called a heathen for so many generations? |
| 45464 | If there may be two or four things infinite after their kind, because not limited by anything of the same nature, are many infinites inconceivable? |
| 45464 | If we are now the sons and daughters of God, what will be our future destiny? |
| 45464 | In the face of these scriptures, will anyone who believes in the Bible say that it is blasphemy to speak of God as being possessed of a bodily form? |
| 45464 | In the light of these clear, revealed statements, how shall we explain the various apparitions of God mentioned in the Bible? |
| 45464 | In what do faith and law of Christ consist? |
| 45464 | In what state do these considerations leave the argument? |
| 45464 | In what way? |
| 45464 | Is God everywhere present? |
| 45464 | Is Jesus Christ God? |
| 45464 | Is Jesus Christ God? |
| 45464 | Is Jesus Christ illimitable? |
| 45464 | Is Jesus Christ in form like man? |
| 45464 | Is Jesus Christ without parts? |
| 45464 | Is Jesus Christ without passions? |
| 45464 | Is Mr. V. ready to believe on these solemn assertions of scripture-- hence of the Lord-- that God is a fire, and therefore that fire is God? |
| 45464 | Is Mr. Van Der Donckt prepared to accept the inevitable conclusion of his own exposition of John 10:30? |
| 45464 | Is any man perfect? |
| 45464 | Is he God? |
| 45464 | Is he God? |
| 45464 | Is he God? |
| 45464 | Is he Plato''s"that which always is and has no becoming?" |
| 45464 | Is he a manifestation of God-- a revelation of him? |
| 45464 | Is he an exalted man? |
| 45464 | Is he man? |
| 45464 | Is he man? |
| 45464 | Is he possessed of a body of flesh and bone which is eternally united to him-- and now an integral part of him? |
| 45464 | Is it Physical Identity? |
| 45464 | Is it Physical Identity? |
| 45464 | Is it a strange and blasphemous doctrine, then, to hold that men at the last shall rise to the dignity that the Father has attained? |
| 45464 | Is it logical to say that the intelligence of spirits is immortal, and yet that it had a beginning? |
| 45464 | Is it not likely, nay, would it not be so? |
| 45464 | Is it not said that God is a spirit? |
| 45464 | Is it thinkable that this change was a deterioration? |
| 45464 | Is it"heathenish"to believe that the offspring shall ultimately be what the parent is? |
| 45464 | Is not this the necessary corollary of Spinoza''s definition of the"finite after its kind?" |
| 45464 | Is not this to be so with the children of men? |
| 45464 | Is that true? |
| 45464 | Is the Son, then, like the phonograph or the machine, the instrument of the Father? |
| 45464 | Is the atmosphere visible? |
| 45464 | Is the person of God very glorious? |
| 45464 | Is there any doubt about men being the sons of God? |
| 45464 | It is correct enough, but who told you that man did not exist in like manner upon the same principle? |
| 45464 | It is written that God can not look upon sin with the least degree of allowance, and that is true, he can not; but how about the sinner? |
| 45464 | Jesus answered, referring to Psalm 82:6,"Is it not written in your law: I said you are Gods? |
| 45464 | Jesus, observing that something had happened to him, turned to the apostles and said,"Who touched me?" |
| 45464 | Jesus, what are you going to do? |
| 45464 | Joshua approached him and said:"Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?" |
| 45464 | Let us ask, rather, how did Jesus Christ-- God-- deal with sinners? |
| 45464 | Love is an attribute of mind, of spirit; must one conclude then from this definition that God is a mere attribute of mind? |
| 45464 | Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?" |
| 45464 | Now ask yourselves this simple question upon natural principles, has the species altered? |
| 45464 | Now had he been flesh or man before, as the''Mormons''hold, how could he become what he was already from all eternity?" |
| 45464 | Now, had he been flesh, or man, before, as"Mormons"hold, how could he become what he was already from all eternity? |
| 45464 | Now, therefore, why should we die? |
| 45464 | On one occasion he was asked how the"spirits could be served,"to which he made answer,"If we are not able to serve men, how can we serve the spirits?" |
| 45464 | Or was it placed in the word of God because it is simply true? |
| 45464 | Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" |
| 45464 | Or would he find an interpretation, or explanation necessary? |
| 45464 | Or would he insist upon interpreting these passages by others, and by reason? |
| 45464 | Presently two personages in white apparel stood beside them and said:"Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? |
| 45464 | Says he,"Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are Gods? |
| 45464 | See Genesis 3rd chap., 9th and 10th verses--"And the Lord called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? |
| 45464 | Seest thou that thou art created after mine own image? |
| 45464 | Shall he come again in that form? |
| 45464 | That is not so gentle, is it? |
| 45464 | The first question is,"What is the name of God in the pure language?" |
| 45464 | The question is often asked, Is there any difference between the Spirit of the Lord and the Holy Ghost? |
| 45464 | Then what may not be done in eternity by one of these God- men? |
| 45464 | They replied,"Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?" |
| 45464 | Thus you may continue and trace the human family back to Adam and Eve, and ask,"are we of the same species with Adam and Eve?" |
| 45464 | To state the question fairly in other words we might say, Master, was this man born blind because he had sinned? |
| 45464 | To what heights of power and glory may they not ascend? |
| 45464 | To which of the angels said he at any time:"Sit on my right hand till I make thy enemies thy footstool? |
| 45464 | To whom then have you likened God, or what image will you make for him? |
| 45464 | Very well, then; as God, the Father, begot Jesus, the Son, may not the Son in time also beget a son or sons? |
| 45464 | Was and is Jesus God-- true Deity? |
| 45464 | Was he God as he stood there among his disciples in his glorious and, to use Mr. V.''s own word,"sacred,"resurrected body? |
| 45464 | Was that done to make human beings or certain truths more intelligible to God? |
| 45464 | Were not the people who landed at Plymouth Rock the same species with us? |
| 45464 | Were not their countenances similar to ours? |
| 45464 | Were there not mechanics among them, and did they not understand agriculture, etc., as we do? |
| 45464 | Were they not organized as we are? |
| 45464 | What are all these beings taken together, or summed up under one head? |
| 45464 | What are angels? |
| 45464 | What are knowledge and determination but modes of human consciousness? |
| 45464 | What are men? |
| 45464 | What are spirits? |
| 45464 | What did Jesus do? |
| 45464 | What do these words imply but that Seth was like his father in features and also doubtless in intellectual and moral qualities? |
| 45464 | What do we understand heaven to be? |
| 45464 | What does he mean when he prays that the disciples that God had given him should be one, as he and the Father are one? |
| 45464 | What idea does this language convey to the mind of man, except that man, when his creation was completed, stood forth the counterpart of God in form? |
| 45464 | What if that power of effort should be slowly aggrandized until man, now a little higher than the monkey, became a really great being?" |
| 45464 | What is God? |
| 45464 | What is Jesus Christ? |
| 45464 | What is it? |
| 45464 | What is meant by creation? |
| 45464 | What is the God who does not listen, but the likeness of human obstinacy? |
| 45464 | What kind of a being is God? |
| 45464 | What limits can you venture to fix as marking the boundary of his development, of his progress? |
| 45464 | What may they not do in eternity? |
| 45464 | What more is truth? |
| 45464 | What of it? |
| 45464 | What of the blind, the lame, the halt? |
| 45464 | What think ye of Christ? |
| 45464 | What think ye of Christ? |
| 45464 | What was it? |
| 45464 | What was the reply? |
| 45464 | What, resurrected Saints have children? |
| 45464 | When Jesus looked around, and saw none but the woman, he said to her,"Woman, where are thine accusers? |
| 45464 | When the Son of God, Jesus, took on a human body of flesh and bone, was not that which is finite, his body, added to the infinite in Jesus Christ? |
| 45464 | When? |
| 45464 | When? |
| 45464 | When? |
| 45464 | Whenever did a tree or anything spring into existence without a progenitor? |
| 45464 | Where did we exist before we came here? |
| 45464 | Where does he exist? |
| 45464 | Where was there ever a son without a father? |
| 45464 | Where wast thou when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" |
| 45464 | Which in their teaching presents the true doctrine of God''s unity,"Mormons"or orthodox Christians? |
| 45464 | Which is most in harmony with sound reason and the scriptures,"Mormon"doctrine, or the commonly accepted Christian philosophy? |
| 45464 | Who can define the difference? |
| 45464 | Who can perceive the nice shades of difference between the one and the other? |
| 45464 | Who comprehends its powers? |
| 45464 | Who dare say that it is not potentially infinite? |
| 45464 | Who knows how the infinite is constituted? |
| 45464 | Who of all these parties are right; or, are they all wrong together? |
| 45464 | Who then did compound the Eternal? |
| 45464 | Who told you so? |
| 45464 | Why by him? |
| 45464 | Why did not Job so answer the Lord? |
| 45464 | Why do the New Testament writers lay so much stress upon the taking of flesh by Jesus Christ? |
| 45464 | Why not? |
| 45464 | Why not? |
| 45464 | Why not? |
| 45464 | Why ought they not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold or silver, graven by art and man''s device? |
| 45464 | Why should there be any limits thought of? |
| 45464 | Why should we not work forever as well as now? |
| 45464 | Why? |
| 45464 | Will he annihilate it? |
| 45464 | Will he become an impersonal, incorporeal, immaterial God, without body, without parts, without passions? |
| 45464 | Will it be? |
| 45464 | Will we ever become gods? |
| 45464 | With his body of flesh and bones, with the marks in his hands and in his feet? |
| 45464 | Would Mr. V. from that definition of God believe and teach that God is light, mere cosmic light? |
| 45464 | Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? |
| 45464 | Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? |
| 45464 | Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? |
| 45464 | You ask, What is truth? |
| 45464 | You may ask, what becomes of the spirit, separated from the body of flesh and bones, when this body lies in the grave? |
| 45464 | [ A] What is the conclusion to be drawn from this? |
| 45464 | [ Footnote C: Quoted thus by Mr. V. In both Catholic and Protestant Bibles it stands:"Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?"] |
| 45464 | and shall be hereafter actually infinite after its kind? |
| 45464 | and what know we of consciousness itself, but as the contrast between successive mental states? |
| 45464 | and where will be the end of them? |
| 45464 | hath no man condemned thee?" |
| 45464 | is not a thing_ infinite_ after its kind, then, when it is_ not_ limited by anything of the same nature? |
| 45464 | or created and having a beginning? |
| 45464 | or shall we say that man was made in the image and likeness of the angels, when God said,"_ Let us make_"etc.,"_ in our image_?" |
| 45464 | we have three Gods anyhow, and they are plural; and who can contradict it? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 11:10 10 And he said unto me: What desirest thou? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 11:16 16 And he said unto me: Knowest thou the condescension of God? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 11:2 2 And the Spirit said unto me: Behold, what desirest thou? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 11:4 4 And the Spirit said unto me: Believest thou that thy father saw the tree of which he hath spoken? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 12:9 9 And he said unto me: Thou rememberest the twelve apostles of the Lamb? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 13:2 2 And the angel said unto me: What beholdest thou? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 13:21 21 And the angel said unto me: Knowest thou the meaning of the book? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 15:10 10 Behold, I said unto them: How is it that ye do not keep the commandments of the Lord? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 15:15 15 And then at that day will they not rejoice and give praise unto their everlasting God, their rock and their salvation? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 15:21 21 And it came to pass that they did speak unto me again, saying: What meaneth this thing which our father saw in a dream? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 15:23 23 And they said unto me: What meaneth the rod of iron which our father saw, that led to the tree? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 15:26 26 And they said unto me: What meaneth the river of water which our father saw? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 15:8 8 And I said unto them: Have ye inquired of the Lord? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 17:34 34 Do ye suppose that our fathers would have been more choice than they if they had been righteous? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 20:14 14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; who among them hath declared these things unto them? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 20:6 6 Thou hast seen and heard all this; and will ye not declare them? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 21:15 15 For can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 21:24 24 For shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives delivered? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 4:3 3 Now behold ye know that this is true; and ye also know that an angel hath spoken unto you; wherefore can ye doubt? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 7:10 10 How is it that ye have forgotten that ye have seen an angel of the Lord? |
| 17 | 1 Nephi 7:9 9 How is it that ye have not hearkened unto the word of the Lord? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 12:22 22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 13:15 15 What mean ye? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 15:4 4 What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 16:11 11 Then said I: Lord, how long? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 16:8 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 17:13 13 And he said: Hear ye now, O house of David; is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 20:15 15 Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth therewith? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 20:3 3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 20:8 8 For he saith: Are not my princes altogether kings? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 20:9 9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 24:10 10 All they shall speak and say unto thee: Art thou also become weak as we? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 24:17 17 And made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof, and opened not the house of his prisoners? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 24:27 27 For the Lord of Hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 24:32 32 What shall then answer the messengers of the nations? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 26:25 25 Behold, doth he cry unto any, saying: Depart from me? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 26:26 26 Behold, hath he commanded any that they should depart out of the synagogues, or out of the houses of worship? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 26:27 27 Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his salvation? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 26:28 28 Behold, hath the Lord commanded any that they should not partake of his goodness? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 29:5 5 O ye Gentiles, have ye remembered the Jews, mine ancient covenant people? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 29:7 7 Know ye not that there are more nations than one? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 29:8 8 Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 31:19 19 And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 31:6 6 And now, I would ask of you, my beloved brethren, wherein the Lamb of God did fulfil all righteousness in being baptized by water? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 31:7 7 Know ye not that he was holy? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 32:2 2 Do ye not remember that I said unto you that after ye had received the Holy Ghost ye could speak with the tongue of angels? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 4:27 27 And why should I yield to sin, because of my flesh? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 4:31 31 O Lord, wilt thou redeem my soul? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 6:16 16 For shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 7 Chapter 7 2 Nephi 7:1 1 Yea, for thus saith the Lord: Have I put thee away, or have I cast thee off forever? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 7:10 10 Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness and hath no light? |
| 17 | 2 Nephi 9:47 47 But behold, my brethren, is it expedient that I should awake you to an awful reality of these things? |
| 17 | 3 Nephi 12:15 15 Behold, do men light a candle and put it under a bushel? |
| 17 | 3 Nephi 13:27 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? |
| 17 | 3 Nephi 13:28 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? |
| 17 | 3 Nephi 13:31 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? |
| 17 | 3 Nephi 14:10 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? |
| 17 | 3 Nephi 14:3 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother''s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? |
| 17 | 3 Nephi 14:4 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother: Let me pull the mote out of thine eye-- and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? |
| 17 | 3 Nephi 14:9 9 Or what man is there of you, who, if his son ask bread, will give him a stone? |
| 17 | 3 Nephi 17:7 7 Have ye any that are sick among you? |
| 17 | 3 Nephi 24:2 2 But who may abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand when he appeareth? |
| 17 | 3 Nephi 24:8 8 Will a man rob God? |
| 17 | 3 Nephi 27:4 4 And the Lord said unto them: Verily, verily, I say unto you, why is it that the people should murmur and dispute because of this thing? |
| 17 | 3 Nephi 27:5 5 Have they not read the scriptures, which say ye must take upon you the name of Christ, which is my name? |
| 17 | 3 Nephi 27:8 8 And how be it my church save it be called in my name? |
| 17 | Alma 10:26 26 For behold, have I testified against your law? |
| 17 | Alma 11:21 21 And this Zeezrom began to question Amulek, saying: Will ye answer me a few questions which I shall ask you? |
| 17 | Alma 11:23 23 Now Amulek said: O thou child of hell, why tempt ye me? |
| 17 | Alma 11:24 24 Believest thou that there is no God? |
| 17 | Alma 11:26 26 And Zeezrom said unto him: Thou sayest there is a true and living God? |
| 17 | Alma 11:28 28 Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God? |
| 17 | Alma 11:30 30 Now Zeezrom said unto him again: How knowest thou these things? |
| 17 | Alma 11:32 32 And Zeezrom said again: Who is he that shall come? |
| 17 | Alma 11:34 34 And Zeezrom said again: Shall he save his people in their sins? |
| 17 | Alma 11:38 38 Now Zeezrom saith again unto him: Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father? |
| 17 | Alma 14:19 19 And it came to pass that the judge stood before them, and said: Why do ye not answer the words of this people? |
| 17 | Alma 14:26 26 And Alma cried, saying: How long shall we suffer these great afflictions, O Lord? |
| 17 | Alma 15:6 6 And it came to pass that Alma said unto him, taking him by the hand: Believest thou in the power of Christ unto salvation? |
| 17 | Alma 18:14 14 Therefore Ammon turned himself unto the king, and said unto him: What wilt thou that I should do for thee, O king? |
| 17 | Alma 18:15 15 And it came to pass that Ammon said unto him again: What desirest thou of me? |
| 17 | Alma 18:17 17 I say unto you, what is it, that thy marvelings are so great? |
| 17 | Alma 18:20 20 And the king said: How knowest thou the thoughts of my heart? |
| 17 | Alma 18:24 24 And Ammon began to speak unto him with boldness, and said unto him: Believest thou that there is a God? |
| 17 | Alma 18:26 26 And then Ammon said: Believest thou that there is a Great Spirit? |
| 17 | Alma 18:31 31 And king Lamoni said: Is it above the earth? |
| 17 | Alma 18:8 8 And it came to pass that king Lamoni inquired of his servants, saying: Where is this man that has such great power? |
| 17 | Alma 19:9 9 And Ammon said unto her: Believest thou this? |
| 17 | Alma 20:10 10 And he also said: Whither art thou going with this Nephite, who is one of the children of a liar? |
| 17 | Alma 21:7 7 Now Aaron said unto him: Believest thou that the Son of God shall come to redeem mankind from their sins? |
| 17 | Alma 22:5 5 Now the king said unto them: What is this that ye have said concerning the Spirit of the Lord? |
| 17 | Alma 22:7 7 And Aaron answered him and said unto him: Believest thou that there is a God? |
| 17 | Alma 22:9 9 And the king said: Is God that Great Spirit that brought our fathers out of the land of Jerusalem? |
| 17 | Alma 26:17 17 Who could have supposed that our God would have been so merciful as to have snatched us from our awful, sinful, and polluted state? |
| 17 | Alma 26:2 2 And now, I ask, what great blessings has he bestowed upon us? |
| 17 | Alma 26:21 21 And now behold, my brethren, what natural man is there that knoweth these things? |
| 17 | Alma 26:24 24 For they said unto us: Do ye suppose that ye can bring the Lamanites to the knowledge of the truth? |
| 17 | Alma 26:31 31 Now behold, we can look forth and see the fruits of our labors; and are they few? |
| 17 | Alma 26:33 33 And now behold I say unto you, has there been so great love in all the land? |
| 17 | Alma 26:35 35 Now have we not reason to rejoice? |
| 17 | Alma 27:18 18 Now was not this exceeding joy? |
| 17 | Alma 27:7 7 And Ammon said: I will go and inquire of the Lord, and if he say unto us, go down unto our brethren, will ye go? |
| 17 | Alma 29:6 6 Now, seeing that I know these things, why should I desire more than to perform the work to which I have been called? |
| 17 | Alma 29:7 7 Why should I desire that I were an angel, that I could speak unto all the ends of the earth? |
| 17 | Alma 30:15 15 How do ye know of their surety? |
| 17 | Alma 30:22 22 And it came to pass that the high priest said unto him: Why do ye go about perverting the ways of the Lord? |
| 17 | Alma 30:35 35 Then why sayest thou that we preach unto this people to get gain, when thou, of thyself, knowest that we receive no gain? |
| 17 | Alma 30:37 37 And then Alma said unto him: Believest thou that there is a God? |
| 17 | Alma 30:39 39 Now Alma said unto him: Will ye deny again that there is a God, and also deny the Christ? |
| 17 | Alma 30:40 40 And now what evidence have ye that there is no God, or that Christ cometh not? |
| 17 | Alma 30:44 44 But Alma said unto him: Thou hast had signs enough; will ye tempt your God? |
| 17 | Alma 30:45 45 And yet do ye go about, leading away the hearts of this people, testifying unto them there is no God? |
| 17 | Alma 30:51 51 And now when the chief judge saw this, he put forth his hand and wrote unto Korihor, saying: Art thou convinced of the power of God? |
| 17 | Alma 31:30 30 O Lord God, how long wilt thou suffer that such wickedness and infidelity shall be among this people? |
| 17 | Alma 32:10 10 Behold I say unto you, do ye suppose that ye can not worship God save it be in your synagogues only? |
| 17 | Alma 32:11 11 Moreover, I would ask, do ye suppose that ye must not worship God only once in a week? |
| 17 | Alma 32:18 18 Now I ask, is this faith? |
| 17 | Alma 32:29 29 Now behold, would not this increase your faith? |
| 17 | Alma 32:31 31 And now, behold, are ye sure that this is a good seed? |
| 17 | Alma 32:34 34 And now, behold, is your knowledge perfect? |
| 17 | Alma 32:35 35 O then, is not this real? |
| 17 | Alma 33:12 12 And now Alma said unto them: Do ye believe those scriptures which have been written by them of old? |
| 17 | Alma 33:14 14 Now behold, my brethren, I would ask if ye have read the scriptures? |
| 17 | Alma 33:3 3 Do ye remember to have read what Zenos, the prophet of old, has said concerning prayer or worship? |
| 17 | Alma 37:45 45 And now I say, is there not a type in this thing? |
| 17 | Alma 39:18 18 Is it not as necessary that the plan of redemption should be made known unto this people as well as unto their children? |
| 17 | Alma 40:7 7 And now I would inquire what becometh of the souls of men from this time of death to the time appointed for the resurrection? |
| 17 | Alma 42:17 17 Now, how could a man repent except he should sin? |
| 17 | Alma 42:19 19 Now, if there was no law given-- if a man murdered he should die-- would he be afraid he would die if he should murder? |
| 17 | Alma 42:21 21 And if there was no law given, if men sinned what could justice do, or mercy either, for they would have no claim upon the creature? |
| 17 | Alma 42:25 25 What, do ye suppose that mercy can rob justice? |
| 17 | Alma 45:4 4 And Alma said again: Believest thou in Jesus Christ, who shall come? |
| 17 | Alma 45:6 6 And Alma said unto him again: Will ye keep my commandments? |
| 17 | Alma 46:27 27 And now who knoweth but what the remnant of the seed of Joseph, which shall perish as his garment, are those who have dissented from us? |
| 17 | Alma 5:10 10 And now I ask of you on what conditions are they saved? |
| 17 | Alma 5:11 11 Behold, I can tell you-- did not my father Alma believe in the words which were delivered by the mouth of Abinadi? |
| 17 | Alma 5:14 14 And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God? |
| 17 | Alma 5:15 15 Do ye exercise faith in the redemption of him who created you? |
| 17 | Alma 5:19 19 I say unto you, can ye look up to God at that day with a pure heart and clean hands? |
| 17 | Alma 5:20 20 I say unto you, can ye think of being saved when you have yielded yourselves to become subjects to the devil? |
| 17 | Alma 5:23 23 Behold will they not testify that ye are murderers, yea, and also that ye are guilty of all manner of wickedness? |
| 17 | Alma 5:27 27 Have ye walked, keeping yourselves blameless before God? |
| 17 | Alma 5:28 28 Behold, are ye stripped of pride? |
| 17 | Alma 5:29 29 Behold, I say, is there one among you who is not stripped of envy? |
| 17 | Alma 5:30 30 And again I say unto you, is there one among you that doth make a mock of his brother, or that heapeth upon him persecutions? |
| 17 | Alma 5:39 39 And now if ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd, of what fold are ye? |
| 17 | Alma 5:59 59 For what shepherd is there among you having many sheep doth not watch over them, that the wolves enter not and devour his flock? |
| 17 | Alma 5:8 8 And now I ask of you, my brethren, were they destroyed? |
| 17 | Alma 5:9 9 And again I ask, were the bands of death broken, and the chains of hell which encircled them about, were they loosed? |
| 17 | Alma 60:12 12 Do ye suppose that, because so many of your brethren have been killed it is because of their wickedness? |
| 17 | Alma 60:18 18 But why should I say much concerning this matter? |
| 17 | Alma 60:20 20 Have ye forgotten the commandments of the Lord your God? |
| 17 | Alma 60:23 23 Do ye suppose that God will look upon you as guiltless while ye sit still and behold these things? |
| 17 | Alma 60:7 7 Can you think to sit upon your thrones in a state of thoughtless stupor, while your enemies are spreading the work of death around you? |
| 17 | Alma 7:17 17 And now my beloved brethren, do you believe these things? |
| 17 | Alma 8:19 19 And as he entered the city he was an hungered, and he said to a man: Will ye give to an humble servant of God something to eat? |
| 17 | Alma 9:9 9 Do ye not remember that our father, Lehi, was brought out of Jerusalem by the hand of God? |
| 17 | And Ammon said unto him again: Believest thou that this Great Spirit, who is God, created all things which are in heaven and in the earth? |
| 17 | And I said unto my father: Whither shall I go to obtain food? |
| 17 | And Limhi said unto him: What cause have ye to come up to war against my people? |
| 17 | And are not they the ones who have stolen the daughters of the Lamanites? |
| 17 | And are they not in the wilderness? |
| 17 | And behold, are not we a remnant of the seed of Joseph? |
| 17 | And behold, if a wolf enter his flock doth he not drive him out? |
| 17 | And can ye not also behold me before you? |
| 17 | And has he suffered that ye have begged in vain? |
| 17 | And have ye taught this people that they should do all these things? |
| 17 | And he began to plead for them from that time forth; but they reviled him, saying: Art thou also possessed with the devil? |
| 17 | And he said unto them: Was it not so? |
| 17 | And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? |
| 17 | And how do ye suppose that I know of their surety? |
| 17 | And is not this, our affliction, great? |
| 17 | And it came to pass that she did talk with her father, and said unto him: Whereby hath my father so much sorrow? |
| 17 | And many came forth also, and smote them, saying: Will ye stand again and judge this people, and condemn our law? |
| 17 | And moreover, have ye sufficiently retained in remembrance that he has delivered their souls from hell? |
| 17 | And now behold, will not this strengthen your faith? |
| 17 | And now what say ye? |
| 17 | And now, are they not his seed? |
| 17 | And now, believest thou that we deceive this people, that causes such joy in their hearts? |
| 17 | And now, how could ye speak with the tongue of angels save it were by the Holy Ghost? |
| 17 | And now, my brethren, what have ye to say against this? |
| 17 | And the judge smote them again upon their cheeks, and asked: What say ye for yourselves? |
| 17 | And their works are in the dark; and they say: Who seeth us, and who knoweth us? |
| 17 | And these things which testify of us, are they not written upon the plates of brass which our father Lehi brought out of Jerusalem? |
| 17 | And was he not a holy prophet? |
| 17 | And what know ye concerning the law of Moses? |
| 17 | And what thank they the Jews for the Bible which they receive from them? |
| 17 | And where is the fury of the oppressor? |
| 17 | And while ye are in prison can ye pay even one senine? |
| 17 | And who hath brought up these? |
| 17 | And who knoweth but the Lord will carry us forth into a land which is choice above all the earth? |
| 17 | And who shall be his seed? |
| 17 | And ye are still indebted unto him, and are, and will be, forever and ever; therefore, of what have ye to boast? |
| 17 | And yet will ye deny against all these witnesses? |
| 17 | Are ye not much better than they? |
| 17 | Art thou become like unto us? |
| 17 | Art thou not he that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? |
| 17 | Art thou sent from God? |
| 17 | Art thou that Great Spirit, who knows all things? |
| 17 | Behold are not this people as good as thy people? |
| 17 | Behold, I say unto you, is not a soul at this time as precious unto God as a soul will be at the time of his coming? |
| 17 | Behold, I say unto you, that the devil is your shepherd, and ye are of his fold; and now, who can deny this? |
| 17 | Behold, I say, is not this the cause that the trees of thy vineyard have become corrupted? |
| 17 | Behold, I was left alone; these, where have they been? |
| 17 | Behold, O Lord, wilt thou suffer that we shall cross this great water in darkness? |
| 17 | Behold, are they to be understood according to things which are spiritual, which shall come to pass according to the spirit and not the flesh? |
| 17 | Behold, has he not set a good example for thee? |
| 17 | Behold, he has showed unto you a sign; and now will ye dispute more? |
| 17 | Behold, he is a mighty man, and he can command fifty, yea, even he can slay fifty; then why not us? |
| 17 | Behold, is not this the Great Spirit who doth send such great punishments upon this people, because of their murders? |
| 17 | Behold, is there not an account concerning them of old, that they by their secret plans did obtain kingdoms and great glory? |
| 17 | Behold, my people have not broken the oath that I made unto you; therefore, why should ye break the oath which ye made unto my people? |
| 17 | Behold, what will these things testify against you? |
| 17 | Behold, who art thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of man, who shall die, and of the son of man, who shall be made like unto grass? |
| 17 | Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? |
| 17 | Believest thou that these things are true? |
| 17 | Believest thou this? |
| 17 | But ye say: Wherein have we robbed thee? |
| 17 | But ye say: Wherein shall we return? |
| 17 | But, behold, why do ye ponder these things in your hearts? |
| 17 | Can ye tell? |
| 17 | Could ye say, if ye were called to die at this time, within yourselves, that ye have been sufficiently humble? |
| 17 | Did he not speak the words of God, and my father Alma believe them? |
| 17 | Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? |
| 17 | Do they remember the travails, and the labors, and the pains of the Jews, and their diligence unto me, in bringing forth salvation unto the Gentiles? |
| 17 | Do we not know that it is the blood of your brother? |
| 17 | Do ye not remember that they were all led by him through the wilderness? |
| 17 | Do ye not suppose that I know of these things myself? |
| 17 | Do ye suppose that ye shall dwell with him under a consciousness of your guilt? |
| 17 | Doth salvation come by the law of Moses? |
| 17 | Enos 1:7 7 And I said: Lord, how is it done? |
| 17 | Ether 2:19 19 And behold, O Lord, in them there is no light; whither shall we steer? |
| 17 | Ether 2:23 23 And the Lord said unto the brother of Jared: What will ye that I should do that ye may have light in your vessels? |
| 17 | Ether 3:11 11 And the Lord said unto him: Believest thou the words which I shall speak? |
| 17 | Ether 3:7 7 And the Lord saw that the brother of Jared had fallen to the earth; and the Lord said unto him: Arise, why hast thou fallen? |
| 17 | For behold, doth not my voice shake the earth? |
| 17 | For do ye suppose that ye can get rid of the justice of an offended God, who hath been trampled under feet of men, that thereby salvation might come? |
| 17 | For have not they revealed the plan of salvation? |
| 17 | For shall the work say of him that made it, he made me not? |
| 17 | For thus saith the Lord: Where is the bill of your mother''s divorcement? |
| 17 | For what could I write more than my fathers have written? |
| 17 | Has the end come yet? |
| 17 | Hast thou seen an angel? |
| 17 | Hath he not read the record which our fathers brought across the great deep? |
| 17 | Have ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt, or maimed, or leprous, or that are withered, or that are deaf, or that are afflicted in any manner? |
| 17 | Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts? |
| 17 | Have ye forgotten the many times we have been delivered out of the hands of our enemies? |
| 17 | Have ye obtained a Bible save it were by the Jews? |
| 17 | Have ye received his image in your countenances? |
| 17 | Helaman 11:16 16 And now, O Lord, wilt thou turn away thine anger, and try again if they will serve thee? |
| 17 | Helaman 16:19 19 Yea, why will he not show himself in this land as well as in the land of Jerusalem? |
| 17 | Helaman 5:38 38 And they said unto the man: Behold, what do all these things mean, and who is it with whom these men do converse? |
| 17 | Helaman 7:13 13 And it came to pass that he opened his mouth and said unto them: Behold, why have ye gathered yourselves together? |
| 17 | Helaman 7:20 20 O, how could you have forgotten your God in the very day that he has delivered you? |
| 17 | Helaman 8:14 14 Yea, did he not bear record that the Son of God should come? |
| 17 | Helaman 8:2 2 Why seest thou this man, and hearest him revile against this people and against our law? |
| 17 | Helaman 8:21 21 And now will you dispute that Jerusalem was destroyed? |
| 17 | Helaman 8:5 5 Therefore they did cry unto the people, saying: Why do you suffer this man to revile against us? |
| 17 | Helaman 9:29 29 And ye shall say unto him: Have ye murdered your brother? |
| 17 | Helaman 9:32 32 And when ye have seen this, ye shall say: From whence cometh this blood? |
| 17 | How could he sin if there was no law? |
| 17 | How could there be a law save there was a punishment? |
| 17 | How is it that ye can attain unto faith, save ye shall have hope? |
| 17 | How is it that ye will perish, because of the hardness of your hearts? |
| 17 | How knowest thou that we are not a righteous people? |
| 17 | How knowest thou that we have cause to repent? |
| 17 | How knowest thou the thought and intent of our hearts? |
| 17 | I say unto you, can you look up, having the image of God engraven upon your countenances? |
| 17 | If ye have such great power why do ye not deliver yourselves? |
| 17 | If ye have, how can ye disbelieve on the Son of God? |
| 17 | In whom did ye desire that Alma should show forth his sign? |
| 17 | Is it the Son of God? |
| 17 | Is not Hamath as Arpad? |
| 17 | Is not Samaria as Damascus? |
| 17 | Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? |
| 17 | Jacob 2:14 14 And now, my brethren, do ye suppose that God justifieth you in this thing? |
| 17 | Jacob 2:21 21 Do ye not suppose that such things are abominable unto him who created all flesh? |
| 17 | Jacob 5:21 21 And it came to pass that the servant said unto his master: How comest thou hither to plant this tree, or this branch of the tree? |
| 17 | Jacob 5:41 41 And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard wept, and said unto the servant: What could I have done more for my vineyard? |
| 17 | Jacob 5:47 47 But what could I have done more in my vineyard? |
| 17 | Jacob 6:12 12 O be wise; what can I say more? |
| 17 | Jacob 6:6 6 Yea, today, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts; for why will ye die? |
| 17 | Jacob 6:8 8 Behold, will ye reject these words? |
| 17 | Jacob 7:10 10 And I said unto him: Believest thou the scriptures? |
| 17 | Jacob 7:14 14 And I said unto him: What am I that I should tempt God to show unto thee a sign in the thing which thou knowest to be true? |
| 17 | Jacob 7:9 9 And I said unto him: Deniest thou the Christ who shall come? |
| 17 | Know ye not that I have power to deliver you up unto the flames? |
| 17 | Know ye not that he hath all power, and at his great command the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll? |
| 17 | Know ye not that the Lord hath chosen him to be a ruler over you, and this because of your iniquities? |
| 17 | Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation like unto another? |
| 17 | Knowest thou that the righteous yieldeth to no such temptations? |
| 17 | Knowest thou the meaning of the tree which thy father saw? |
| 17 | Mormon 5:22 22 And then, O ye Gentiles, how can ye stand before the power of God, except ye shall repent and turn from your evil ways? |
| 17 | Mormon 5:23 23 Know ye not that ye are in the hands of God? |
| 17 | Mormon 8:33 33 O ye wicked and perverse and stiffnecked people, why have ye built up churches unto yourselves to get gain? |
| 17 | Mormon 9:16 16 Behold, are not the things that God hath wrought marvelous in our eyes? |
| 17 | Mormon 9:18 18 And who shall say that Jesus Christ did not many mighty miracles? |
| 17 | Mormon 9:19 19 And if there were miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be an unchangeable Being? |
| 17 | Mormon 9:26 26 And now, behold, who can stand against the works of the Lord? |
| 17 | Mormon 9:3 3 Then will ye longer deny the Christ, or can ye behold the Lamb of God? |
| 17 | Mormon 9:9 9 For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in him there is no variableness neither shadow of changing? |
| 17 | Moroni 7:20 20 And now, my brethren, how is it possible that ye can lay hold upon every good thing? |
| 17 | Moroni 7:29 29 And because he hath done this, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? |
| 17 | Moroni 7:36 36 Or have angels ceased to appear unto the children of men? |
| 17 | Moroni 7:41 41 And what is it that ye shall hope for? |
| 17 | Mosiah 12:29 29 And again he said unto them: If ye teach the law of Moses why do ye not keep it? |
| 17 | Mosiah 12:30 30 Know ye not that I speak the truth? |
| 17 | Mosiah 12:37 37 Now Abinadi said unto them, Have ye done all this? |
| 17 | Mosiah 13:32 32 And now, did they understand the law? |
| 17 | Mosiah 13:33 33 For behold, did not Moses prophesy unto them concerning the coming of the Messiah, and that God should redeem his people? |
| 17 | Mosiah 14 Chapter 14 Mosiah 14:1 1 Yea, even doth not Isaiah say: Who hath believed our report, and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? |
| 17 | Mosiah 14:8 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall declare his generation? |
| 17 | Mosiah 15:10 10 And now I say unto you, who shall declare his generation? |
| 17 | Mosiah 15:27 27 Therefore ought ye not to tremble? |
| 17 | Mosiah 16:13 13 And now, ought ye not to tremble and repent of your sins, and remember that only in and through Christ ye can be saved? |
| 17 | Mosiah 20:18 18 For do ye not remember the priests of thy father, whom this people sought to destroy? |
| 17 | Mosiah 27:13 13 Nevertheless he cried again, saying: Alma, arise and stand forth, for why persecutest thou the church of God? |
| 17 | Mosiah 27:15 15 And now behold, can ye dispute the power of God? |
| 17 | Mosiah 2:25 25 And now I ask, can ye say aught of yourselves? |
| 17 | Mosiah 4:19 19 For behold, are we not all beggars? |
| 17 | Mosiah 5:14 14 And again, doth a man take an ass which belongeth to his neighbor, and keep him? |
| 17 | Mosiah 7:23 23 And now, is not this grievous to be borne? |
| 17 | Mosiah 8:12 12 And I say unto thee again: Knowest thou of any one that can translate? |
| 17 | Now Lamoni said unto him: Who told thee that thy brethren were in prison? |
| 17 | Now, if a man murdereth, behold will our law, which is just, take the life of his brother? |
| 17 | O Lord, canst thou not turn away thine anger from us? |
| 17 | O house of Israel, is my hand shortened at all that it can not redeem, or have I no power to deliver? |
| 17 | O then why not the Son of God come, according to his prophecy? |
| 17 | O, then, why is it, that ye can be so hard in your hearts? |
| 17 | Or has he withheld the power of the Holy Ghost from them? |
| 17 | Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, he had no understanding? |
| 17 | Or will he, so long as time shall last, or the earth shall stand, or there shall be one man upon the face thereof to be saved? |
| 17 | Sawest thou more than this? |
| 17 | Seest thou that ye are created after mine own image? |
| 17 | Shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? |
| 17 | Suppose ye that we shall believe the testimony of one man, although he should preach unto us that the earth should pass away? |
| 17 | That I may tell you of your iniquities? |
| 17 | That your garments have been cleansed and made white through the blood of Christ, who will come to redeem his people from their sins? |
| 17 | Therefore I said unto thee: Canst thou translate? |
| 17 | Therefore what will ye that I should prepare for you that ye may have light when ye are swallowed up in the depths of the sea? |
| 17 | Therefore, what manner of men ought ye to be? |
| 17 | Therefore, what teach ye this people? |
| 17 | Therefore, who wondereth that they are in bondage, and that they are smitten with sore afflictions? |
| 17 | To whom have I put thee away, or to which of my creditors have I sold you? |
| 17 | What could I have done more for my vineyard? |
| 17 | What is the cause of their being loosed from the bands of death, yea, and also the chains of hell? |
| 17 | What meaneth the tree which he saw? |
| 17 | What say ye? |
| 17 | Wherefore, my beloved brethren, can we follow Jesus save we shall be willing to keep the commandments of the Father? |
| 17 | Who can deny his sayings? |
| 17 | Who is it that has corrupted my vineyard? |
| 17 | Who is mine adversary? |
| 17 | Who will contend with me? |
| 17 | Who will despise the children of Christ? |
| 17 | Who will despise the works of the Lord? |
| 17 | Who will rise up against the almighty power of the Lord? |
| 17 | Why am I angry because of mine enemy? |
| 17 | Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? |
| 17 | Why do not angels appear unto us? |
| 17 | Why do ye look for a Christ? |
| 17 | Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies-- because of the praise of the world? |
| 17 | Why do ye set your hearts upon riches? |
| 17 | Why do ye speak against all the prophecies of the holy prophets? |
| 17 | Why do ye teach this people that there shall be no Christ, to interrupt their rejoicings? |
| 17 | Why has he forsaken you? |
| 17 | Why have ye transfigured the holy word of God, that ye might bring damnation upon your souls? |
| 17 | Why will ye die? |
| 17 | Will ye say that the sons of Zedekiah were not slain, all except it were Mulek? |
| 17 | Will ye say, Show unto me a sign, when ye have the testimony of all these thy brethren, and also all the holy prophets? |
| 17 | Wilt thou deliver me out of the hands of mine enemies? |
| 17 | Wilt thou make me that I may shake at the appearance of sin? |
| 17 | Would I be plain unto you according to the plainness of the truth if ye were freed from sin? |
| 17 | Would I harrow up your souls if your minds were pure? |
| 17 | Would ye that he should afflict others, to show unto thee a sign? |
| 17 | Yea, and do ye not behold that the seed of Zedekiah are with us, and they were driven out of the land of Jerusalem? |
| 17 | Yea, and even all the prophets who have prophesied ever since the world began-- have they not spoken more or less concerning these things? |
| 17 | Yea, and have you sufficiently retained in remembrance his mercy and long- suffering towards them? |
| 17 | Yea, and who can comprehend the marvelous works of God? |
| 17 | Yea, at that day, will they not receive the strength and nourishment from the true vine? |
| 17 | Yea, have ye forgotten the captivity of our fathers? |
| 17 | Yea, how long will ye choose darkness rather than light? |
| 17 | Yea, how long will ye suffer yourselves to be led by foolish and blind guides? |
| 17 | Yea, to whom have I sold you? |
| 17 | Yea, what do the Gentiles mean? |
| 17 | Yea, what grounds had they to hope for salvation? |
| 17 | Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long- suffering towards the children of men? |
| 17 | Yea, why should I give way to temptations, that the evil one have place in my heart to destroy my peace and afflict my soul? |
| 17 | Yea, will they not come unto the true fold of God? |
| 17 | Yet ye say: What have we spoken against thee? |
| 17 | and where will ye leave your glory? |
| 17 | or, What shall we drink? |
| 17 | or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? |
| 17 | to whom will ye flee for help? |
| 60056 | And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 60056 And do you claim that little children are exempt?" |
| 60056 | And do you really believe that Baptism brings remission of sin? |
| 60056 | And in the next verse he asks,''how shall they preach except they be sent?'' 60056 And why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" |
| 60056 | And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? |
| 60056 | But did not Jesus say,''Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel?'' |
| 60056 | But how were they to receive the Holy Ghost? |
| 60056 | But,asks the reader,"how shall a spirit be born of water, or be baptized in the water?" |
| 60056 | But,says one,"was it not intended that these gifts and blessings should be limited to the days of the apostles, and to the apostles themselves?" |
| 60056 | But,says one,"what matters it whether we go this road that you point out or some other? |
| 60056 | Do you mean that these men, ministers of the gospel, have{ 278} no authority to officiate in that ordinance? 60056 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead? |
| 60056 | For whereas there is among you envyings and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? |
| 60056 | Freedom and reason make us men; Take these away, what are we then? 60056 He did, but was He then talking to modern ministers? |
| 60056 | How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? 60056 If it is necessary for all men and women to be baptized, what will become of the good people who have died without having that privilege?" |
| 60056 | Is it not recorded in Holy Writ,said the doctor,"that if we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved?" |
| 60056 | Is it possible,say they,"this beautiful scene could ever have been the dreary waste we have heard our fathers describe?" |
| 60056 | My minister, I suppose; why? |
| 60056 | Now, Judge, what think you about Joseph Smith and Mormonism? 60056 On the day of Pentecost, many persons were convinced that Jesus was the Christ, and cried out,"Men and brethren, what shall we do?" |
| 60056 | Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter His glory? 60056 Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan( an infidel?) |
| 60056 | Then what has become of the gospel? |
| 60056 | Then, Mr. Brown,said Fitzallen,"what particular part of the Christian faith appears to you as being the most difficult to understand?" |
| 60056 | Well, suppose we accept this as the first round in the ladder, where will we find the second? |
| 60056 | Well,says one,"are they not taught?" |
| 60056 | What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? 60056 Who and what is that?" |
| 60056 | Why, how is this? |
| 60056 | Why? |
| 60056 | Will the Judge now acknowledge that Joseph Smith was a true Prophet? 60056 Yes,"says the reader,"but there is water for it now; why not then?" |
| 60056 | You are stating the case properly, but what did he tell them? |
| 60056 | ''Do you deny it?'' |
| 60056 | ''Do you excuse it?'' |
| 60056 | ( Symbol Athan.)? |
| 60056 | *** When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" |
| 60056 | 14- 12), why should not the followers of Christ be benefitted by them now? |
| 60056 | 2,"Who may abide the day of his coming? |
| 60056 | : Has God again revealed His will to mankind through Joseph Smith, the Prophet? |
| 60056 | A.--He would say, as Ananias said to Saul of Tarsus,"Why tarryest thou? |
| 60056 | A.--He would say,"Why do you call Lord, Lord, and do not perform the things he has said?" |
| 60056 | After testifying of the mission and resurrection of Jesus, the Christ, in response to their inquiry,"Men and brethren, what shall we do?" |
| 60056 | All the sinners in this town? |
| 60056 | Also,"Where is boasting then? |
| 60056 | Am I right as far as I have gone?" |
| 60056 | Am I to understand from this that we must worship him without a body? |
| 60056 | And I would ask, What more proofs does mankind{ 118} want to establish the fact that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of the living God? |
| 60056 | And besides, since we know there are many thousand variations, how do we know that there are not many thousand more which have not yet been detected? |
| 60056 | And can anybody possess the true testimony of Jesus without that spirit? |
| 60056 | And does not St. John say that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin? |
| 60056 | And how can the present world escape a similar fate under similar circumstances? |
| 60056 | And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? |
| 60056 | And how shall they hear without a preacher? |
| 60056 | And how shall they preach except they be sent?" |
| 60056 | And how shall they preach, except But how shall the preach except they be sent? |
| 60056 | And if that is true, are not the spirits of men and women able to receive instruction and information when out of the body? |
| 60056 | And if they were all one sect, But now are they many members where were the body? |
| 60056 | And if thou say in thine heart: How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? |
| 60056 | And now why tarriest thou? |
| 60056 | And now, to the fulfilment of the prophecy or revelation? |
| 60056 | And was not one of the offices of that spirit to show them"things to come?" |
| 60056 | And we ask-- if there was no such thing among the ancient Saints as baptism for the dead, why, then, does Paul refer to it in such positive terms? |
| 60056 | And what is the result? |
| 60056 | And what of the Mountain Meadow Massacre and the Danite band? |
| 60056 | And what of thy teachers? |
| 60056 | And who can doubt the result? |
| 60056 | And will the Almighty reveal anything except to those who call upon Him in faith? |
| 60056 | And yet I feel glad-- I can not but admire your system-- But why do the Latter- day Saints leave their native land, and go to America? |
| 60056 | Are the books of the Bible all that is necessary for the guidance of men to eternal life and exhaltation, or, is continuous revelation necessary? |
| 60056 | Are the preachers-- those who commonly preach in connection with the churches of the present day-- called of God as was Aaron? |
| 60056 | Are these legal officers of the kingdom of God? |
| 60056 | Are they all inspired by the Spirit of God, the gift of the Holy Ghost, and sustained by the doctrines of the Bible? |
| 60056 | Are we displeased with anybody? |
| 60056 | Are we to be forced to believe ourselves on the weaker side? |
| 60056 | Are{ 268} these not parts and passions? |
| 60056 | As Paul has it:"How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? |
| 60056 | Be baptized and wash away his sins? |
| 60056 | But I may be asked,"What means can we adopt to destroy this great evil in Utah?" |
| 60056 | But John forbade him, saying, I have need{ 216} to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? |
| 60056 | But can the churches reconcile it to conscience that duty is as well performed in the one case as in the other? |
| 60056 | But do the Latter- day Saints actually obtain these gifts? |
| 60056 | But does not Jesus say that his blood was to be shed for the remission of sins? |
| 60056 | But is it necessarily so? |
| 60056 | But is it necessary to have laid hands upon one, in order to receive the Holy Ghost? |
| 60056 | But is it true that the promises of God were fulfilled anciently in regard to this matter? |
| 60056 | But was this promise also kept? |
| 60056 | But what are women to do? |
| 60056 | But what constitutes the faith and belief named here? |
| 60056 | But what is becoming of us if such doctrines are not taught? |
| 60056 | But what was the nature of His preaching to those who were held in captivity? |
| 60056 | But who among all the sects of the age teaches it? |
| 60056 | But who may abide the day of his coming? |
| 60056 | But why should Southern men become camp- followers in this crusade? |
| 60056 | But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? |
| 60056 | But would not polygamy make the women jealous of each other? |
| 60056 | But would you have all men marry several wives each? |
| 60056 | By what authority then was the organization of Christ''s church altered, and her most important members lopped off? |
| 60056 | By what law? |
| 60056 | Can every sinner come immediately forward and obey the Gospel when it is{ 530} preached, and thus become a child of God? |
| 60056 | Can we wonder the world is sick of religion? |
| 60056 | Could anything be more presumptuous on the part of a common uneducated farmer''s boy than such as assertion? |
| 60056 | Could anything have proven more disastrous to his schemes than to promise people gifts which were not in his power to give? |
| 60056 | Could he imagine that God would sanction his doings by pouring out his gifts and blessings upon people who were being deceived by a wicked impostor? |
| 60056 | Could you give me a short description of the contents of this far- famed book? |
| 60056 | Did Christ establish the true order or did He not? |
| 60056 | Did God favour them the less on that account? |
| 60056 | Did God speak through him, or, was he an enthusiast, an impostor? |
| 60056 | Did he inculcate holy principles unto his fellow- men? |
| 60056 | Did he really converse with Jesus Christ, or was it an imagination of a bewildered and excited mind? |
| 60056 | Did it come true? |
| 60056 | Did not Christ promise His disciples that after He went away the Comforter should come? |
| 60056 | Did not Cornelius receive it without the laying on of hands, and even before he was baptized? |
| 60056 | Did not Jesus say,''Suffer little children to come unto me?''" |
| 60056 | Did not the Apostle John behold a glorious vision and receive a grand revelation, when banished to the Island of Patmos? |
| 60056 | Did the Almighty ever commence a dispensation since the world began without a Prophet to declare His word, and without revealing His will? |
| 60056 | Did the Southern States apply to other nations for help? |
| 60056 | Did the war break out in South Carolina? |
| 60056 | Did you say''foolish ideas?'' |
| 60056 | Do latter- day sectaries know more, understand better, and see clearer in divine things than did the Apostle Paul? |
| 60056 | Do men gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? |
| 60056 | Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles?" |
| 60056 | Do our Protestant ministers, at the present time, profess to be sent of God as was Aaron? |
| 60056 | Do they not all declare that revelation ceased when John received his vision, recorded in the Book of Revelation? |
| 60056 | Do they not teach that though angels once ministered to men, the day of their coming has long since passed? |
| 60056 | Do we believe this? |
| 60056 | Do you agree with this? |
| 60056 | Do you believe in having these things now? |
| 60056 | Do you disagree with these ministers very much on other principles?" |
| 60056 | Do you think you can obtain God''s blessing by being members of a church or churches that teach doctrines opposed to what Christ taught? |
| 60056 | Do you want to be struck blind, deaf or dumb? |
| 60056 | Does not the very fact Christ said there would be false prophets, convey the idea that there would be true Prophets also? |
| 60056 | Does the gospel he preached tend to make men holy? |
| 60056 | Else what are the meanings of such texts as the following? |
| 60056 | For how could these things in the last days be known without such revelation, any more than Daniel could know them without revelation? |
| 60056 | For what is an American, deprived of those rights? |
| 60056 | For while one saith, I am of Paul, and another I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal[ A]? |
| 60056 | For who can better direct my hesitation or inform my ignorance? |
| 60056 | For ye are yet carnal; for whereas, there is amongst you envying and strife, and divisions; are ye not carnal, and walk as men? |
| 60056 | Further, who fills the prisons as criminals? |
| 60056 | Has God changed? |
| 60056 | Has anything"perfect"come upon modern Christendom except"perfect"confusion? |
| 60056 | Has he ever had as loyal or as firm a people? |
| 60056 | Has he lost his dearest upon earth, and feels as if life itself were lost? |
| 60056 | Has not His work on earth always been conducted by men divinely chosen, appointed and inspired? |
| 60056 | Has not this prediction, delivered half a century ago, been remarkably fulfilled? |
| 60056 | Has the Roman Catholic church the truth? |
| 60056 | Has the spirit of God changed? |
| 60056 | Has this prophecy been fulfilled? |
| 60056 | Have Christians throughout the world, for nearly two thousand years past, been taught to pray for the coming of an event which had already transpired? |
| 60056 | Have all mankind come to a knowledge of the truth? |
| 60056 | Have not I, the Lord?" |
| 60056 | Have the Christian churches done their duty to the Mormon people? |
| 60056 | Have they all perished? |
| 60056 | Have they any faith to call on God for a divine communication? |
| 60056 | Have they not transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance and broken the everlasting covenant? |
| 60056 | Have we any hope of enjoying the glory of God in our present sinful condition? |
| 60056 | Have you a spirit? |
| 60056 | Have you also a body? |
| 60056 | Having answered this question:_ Where did we come from?_ let us now consider WHY WE ARE HERE. |
| 60056 | He went to him, and when the scales fell from the eyes of Paul, or Saul, this man of God said to him:"Why tarriest thou? |
| 60056 | How about his authority? |
| 60056 | How can one describe a scene so inspiring? |
| 60056 | How can they be baptised? |
| 60056 | How can they get to heaven under such circumstances? |
| 60056 | How can this small part be sufficient to us, since it was not sufficient to the first Christians? |
| 60056 | How can those who believe the one reject the other? |
| 60056 | How can we account for such a condition of things? |
| 60056 | How could there be any remnant left of the divine authority held by the Apostles and Priesthood of the original Christian Church? |
| 60056 | How could this be if Joseph the Prophet had not in his daily life been a living witness to the fact that he really communicated with God? |
| 60056 | How could this be possible if all communication with God had ceased with the close of the New Testament? |
| 60056 | How could this, the greatest of all dispensations, be ushered in without a Prophet and without revelation from God? |
| 60056 | How could we_ return_ to God unless we had once been in His presence? |
| 60056 | How do you do to- day? |
| 60056 | How do you do? |
| 60056 | How do you explain it?" |
| 60056 | How does it agree with the Bible doctrinally? |
| 60056 | How had Joseph the Prophet come to discover this fundamental truth? |
| 60056 | How is it that, notwithstanding all preaching, faith is almost extinct on earth? |
| 60056 | How is it? |
| 60056 | How is this? |
| 60056 | How many kinds of ministers are there in your Church? |
| 60056 | How many people live in and around Payson now? |
| 60056 | How many such men are there in Utah? |
| 60056 | How much less then could we look for our heavenly Father to sustain those who administer in holy things without authority from Him? |
| 60056 | How then about the promises made in the revelations from which I have quoted? |
| 60056 | How then can he be saved in it? |
| 60056 | How was Aaron called? |
| 60056 | How was so minute a knowledge of the various offices and their duties obtained? |
| 60056 | I ask the Baptist minister, what induces him to occupy his time in preaching up a particular creed? |
| 60056 | I ask, of what use is his preaching? |
| 60056 | I have actually seen a vision, and who am I that I can withstand God, or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? |
| 60056 | I have actually seen a vision, and who am I that I can withstand God? |
| 60056 | IS BAPTISM ESSENTIAL TO SALVATION? |
| 60056 | IS BELIEF ALONE SUFFICIENT? |
| 60056 | If Christ said that these miracles-- manifestations of Almighty power-- should follow the believers, I say what reason have you to deny it? |
| 60056 | If Cornelius had rejected baptism as non- essential, could he have been saved? |
| 60056 | If God had not taught the prophet this"Doctrine of common consent,"who had? |
| 60056 | If all this do n''t mean"much tribulation,"what does it mean? |
| 60056 | If any one of them be right, which is it, and how shall I know it? |
| 60056 | If any religious society, why not any civil society, until theft becomes common business throughout the land? |
| 60056 | If he was not a servant of God would he not studiously have avoided to connect the Lord with any of his schemes in such a way? |
| 60056 | If it harmonizes with the Bible, how can it be false? |
| 60056 | If it is not reasonable, what are we to do? |
| 60056 | If not, is it"Mormonism"or its opposite that has wrought such a woeful change? |
| 60056 | If not, which are right and which wrong? |
| 60056 | If not, why does the Lord make this specification and name the two exceptions? |
| 60056 | If not, why has the Church dispensed with the officers that God placed in it for the purpose of bringing all to a unity of the faith? |
| 60056 | If not, why not? |
| 60056 | If pouring would do, why go into the water? |
| 60056 | If so, how can you reconcile it with Scripture and morality? |
| 60056 | If so, what necessity was there for an angel to come from heaven with the everlasting gospel, if it was already being taught to men? |
| 60056 | If that be admitted, of course the next question of importance is, How was Aaron sent? |
| 60056 | If the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for the dead?" |
| 60056 | If the first task is within the range of possibility, what is there to discourage us from the smaller undertaking? |
| 60056 | If the penalty is abolished, how can the law remain? |
| 60056 | If they do not want to rob the people, why do they reach out their hands for such a grab as this? |
| 60056 | If they were enjoyed by the early Saints, why should not the Saints of God possess them now? |
| 60056 | If you believe it to be true, why are you in Michigan?" |
| 60056 | In Thy holy habitation, Did my spirit once reside? |
| 60056 | In my first, primeval childhood, Was I nurtured near Thy side? |
| 60056 | In proof of this, I introduce the following observations:--The Savior says,"Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and_ do not the things_ which I say?" |
| 60056 | In the midst of all this confusion one could only ask, Which is right and which is wrong? |
| 60056 | In the midst of this war of words and tumult of opinions, I often said to myself, What is to be done? |
| 60056 | Is Christ divided? |
| 60056 | Is Christ divided? |
| 60056 | Is any sick among you? |
| 60056 | Is he corrupt? |
| 60056 | Is he dying and fears a coming eternity? |
| 60056 | Is he surrounded by problems, many of which he can not solve? |
| 60056 | Is he surrounded by temptation? |
| 60056 | Is it a mere intellectual assent or opinion? |
| 60056 | Is it because that would sweep away the crutches of their lame and halting pretence and cast their false theory prone in the dust? |
| 60056 | Is it likely that a deceiver would have taught doctrines so unpopular, so little calculated to gain public favor?" |
| 60056 | Is it not the spirit of man that receives and stores up intelligence conveyed through the bodily senses? |
| 60056 | Is it possible that another Gospel might have been mistaken for the one of which Jesus spoke? |
| 60056 | Is it possible that they are doomed to destruction? |
| 60056 | Is it reasonable to suppose that God would set up two distinct religious bodies, the ministers of which teach different doctrines? |
| 60056 | Is it so today? |
| 60056 | Is it strange that intelligent Roman Catholics should consider sectarianism a wicked soul- destroying heresy? |
| 60056 | Is it true that the bodies called"Christian"at present represent the Church of Christ? |
| 60056 | Is man guilty? |
| 60056 | Is not his mother called Mary? |
| 60056 | Is not that enough that his predictions are proved to be true? |
| 60056 | Is not the Almighty declared in scripture to be unchangeable? |
| 60056 | Is not the prediction of Isaiah the Prophet concerning these times literally fulfilled? |
| 60056 | Is not this a transgression of the law in this respect? |
| 60056 | Is not this the very essence of the message delivered by Joseph the Prophet? |
| 60056 | Is the Holy Spirit dead? |
| 60056 | Is there a minister connected with the Christian denominations of the present day who professes to be sent of God by direct revelation? |
| 60056 | Is there a more important blessing offered to mankind than the remission of sins? |
| 60056 | Is there any evidence, supposing continuous revelation to be necessary, that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God? |
| 60056 | Is there any objection to this? |
| 60056 | Is there anything in the New Testament to verify this statement so universally accepted as true among the"Christian"Protestantic world? |
| 60056 | Is there not a possibility that, after all has been said and done, we may find there are also two sides to the Mormon question? |
| 60056 | Is there not as much need of divine revelation to settle religious feuds and doctrinal differences in the 19th century, as at any previous period? |
| 60056 | Is there not room enough upon the mountains?" |
| 60056 | Is this doctrine believed in and practised by your people? |
| 60056 | Is this not true?" |
| 60056 | Is this practiced now in the Church of England, and if not, why not? |
| 60056 | It may be asked, who fills the saloons and gambling hells? |
| 60056 | Job certainly must have been somewhere when the"foundations of the earth were laid,"or why the question? |
| 60056 | Let us mass our forces and meet them on even ground, and who knows whose may be the victory? |
| 60056 | Many believed on him, and the result of their belief was that they said,"Men and brethren, what shall we do?" |
| 60056 | May I ask, who do you intend shall baptize you?" |
| 60056 | Must all this be believed? |
| 60056 | Must we also_ do_ as well as_ believe_? |
| 60056 | Must we say his predictions have been fulfilled;_ ergo_ he was a_ false_ prophet? |
| 60056 | Must we, then, reverse every rule of logic in the case of Joseph Smith? |
| 60056 | NOW WHERE WAS HIS AUTHORITY TO ORDAIN YOUNG JOSEPH? |
| 60056 | No longer needed? |
| 60056 | Now as soon as the people hear the Gospel preached by the Elders, they naturally inquire,"What has become of my father and my mother? |
| 60056 | Now if He has no body, what became of the one He took away with Him?" |
| 60056 | Now that is very plain, and what does it mean? |
| 60056 | Now then, in what church do we find apostles and prophets?" |
| 60056 | Now then, to whom was our Savior praying? |
| 60056 | Now where can we find these signs following them that call themselves preachers of the Gospel, and why do they not follow? |
| 60056 | Now, are day and light necessary for the physical welfare of man? |
| 60056 | Now, as the heathen never heard the name of Jesus, what will be their fate in eternity? |
| 60056 | Now, from whence had the youthful Prophet this discovery taught in the Bible, but not understood by the world? |
| 60056 | Now, my friends, I will ask-- First:--Is it reasonable to suppose that God would sustain two distinct religious churches as his churches? |
| 60056 | Now, my friends, do not the different sects of the day present us with a literal fulfillment of all these sayings? |
| 60056 | Now, then, what have we before us? |
| 60056 | Now, what instructions or arrangements are here left out? |
| 60056 | Now, what was it? |
| 60056 | Now, who are they? |
| 60056 | Now, why did not this man stay and have a fair trial? |
| 60056 | O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth? |
| 60056 | Of what advantage would much water have been, if sprinkling or pouring were the mode? |
| 60056 | Of works? |
| 60056 | On coming up out of the water, what was it that lighted on Him in the form of a dove?" |
| 60056 | On what ground is such an irrational position assumed? |
| 60056 | Or does the New Testament confirm the conclusions we have arrived at in the perusal of the Old? |
| 60056 | Or have not men changed the ordinances and institutions of heaven, and built up churches and promulgated doctrines of their own? |
| 60056 | Or was the promise a false one? |
| 60056 | Or was there one single theologian who had understood that God really is what He teaches us to call Him, Father? |
| 60056 | Or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? |
| 60056 | Or will they, like the Jews formerly, reject the light of revelation, to their own damnation? |
| 60056 | Or, have not men changed the order, ordinances, discipline, doctrines,{ 229} and spirit of the Church of Christ? |
| 60056 | Or, in other words, are they called by revelation from God? |
| 60056 | Or, shall we say through the devil? |
| 60056 | Or, what is required of a true prophet? |
| 60056 | Ought{ 243} not the inhabitants of the earth to be not only willing, but eager to receive a message from the eternal worlds? |
| 60056 | Q.--Are there any conditions in this system which the sinner can not immediately fulfil, as soon as he understands them? |
| 60056 | Q.--At Christ''s second coming, what will become of all those ministers and professors, and others who do not obey the Gospel? |
| 60056 | Q.--But did he not say, that he was not sent to baptize, but to preach the Gospel? |
| 60056 | Q.--But did not the Apostle thank God that he had not baptized many of the Corinthians? |
| 60056 | Q.--But must not the Lord perform some special work, on His part, more than He has done, in order to convert our souls and make us Christians? |
| 60056 | Q.--But was not Saul of Tarsus, while on his way to Damascus, converted and made a Christian by a special work of God? |
| 60056 | Q.--But what would he say if they should refuse to comply with the requisition, and should continue praying? |
| 60056 | Q.--But would they not"get religion in that way?" |
| 60056 | Q.--But, what will become of all the people who have lived and died since the Gospel was perverted and before it was restored again? |
| 60056 | Q.--Did not Cornelius and his friends receive the Holy Ghost before they were baptized? |
| 60056 | Q.--How comes it that the Christian world( so called) have been so long without the Gospel in its fulness? |
| 60056 | Q.--Is it not uncharitable to consider the Christian world all wrong, except such as obey the fulness of the Gospel? |
| 60056 | Q.--Is it of any use for men to pray to the Lord to convert them and give them religion, while they neglect to obey the Gospel? |
| 60056 | Q.--Was not the thief on the cross saved without baptism? |
| 60056 | Q.--What has Christ said of those who would come into the sheep- fold by climbing up some other way besides the door? |
| 60056 | Q.--What word of the Lord did he speak unto them? |
| 60056 | Q.--What would have been his situation if he had continued to believe in Christ, and had not gone to Damascus and obeyed the Gospel? |
| 60056 | Q.--What would have been the situation of the jailer and his household if they had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, and had not obeyed the Gospel? |
| 60056 | Q.--Would Cornelius and his friends have been saved, after all they had received, if they had refused baptism? |
| 60056 | Q.--Would the thief on the cross have been saved if he had lived to hear the Gospel, and had opportunity to obey it, and refused? |
| 60056 | Q.-How came the Latter- day Saints to understand this Gospel, and to be instruments in restoring it among mankind? |
| 60056 | QUESTION.--What is the Gospel? |
| 60056 | Said one,--"Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are ye?" |
| 60056 | Say, O ye inhabitants of the world, can this glorious truth emanate from anybody but God? |
| 60056 | Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?" |
| 60056 | Shall I attempt to describe the scene at Nauvoo on that memorable evening? |
| 60056 | Shall we give them up as reprobates, and make no effort to save them, and join in a crusade to crush them? |
| 60056 | Sick? |
| 60056 | So God Himself reasons:"Who hath declared this from ancient times? |
| 60056 | Speaking to Job, one of the most ancient writers of the Bible, He says:"Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? |
| 60056 | St. Paul in writing to the Corinthians says:"Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? |
| 60056 | Superfluous? |
| 60056 | That being true, how is it possible to believe that the Church of Christ had any existence on earth after that long continued darkness and apostacy? |
| 60056 | The doctor replied,"There are none; but you must remember there must be a preacher, for''how shall they hear without a preacher?''" |
| 60056 | The gentleman then read the names of the Three Witnesses and asked:"Mr. Cowdery, do you believe this book?" |
| 60056 | The people are tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine that comes along, and when will the end be? |
| 60056 | The question is often asked, what do the"Mormons"believe, and wherein do their doctrines differ from those of other religious denominations? |
| 60056 | The question is, Does Christ promise that power to believers in the Gospel? |
| 60056 | The question naturally arises, where had He been during these three days? |
| 60056 | The question of Ananias was,"And now why tarriest thou? |
| 60056 | The question"What shall I do to be saved?" |
| 60056 | The question: Are the books of the Bible all that is necessary to guide us to the attainment of eternal salvation? |
| 60056 | The reader asks,"What are we to come out of?" |
| 60056 | The reader asks,"Who were these sons of God?" |
| 60056 | The same morning, after Hyrum had made ready to go-- shall it be said to the slaughter? |
| 60056 | The world is full of deeds of crime and darkness, and the question often arises-- Who is responsible therefore? |
| 60056 | Then why did they leave the Church? |
| 60056 | There are many who think hard when we tell them that the churches have all become corrupted, but the Lord hath spoken it, and who can deny His words? |
| 60056 | There is only one question that can present itself to our minds in that connection, and that is: Did the boy tell the truth? |
| 60056 | They can not exercise faith and repentance, qualifications necessary previous to baptism; then, why require the outward work? |
| 60056 | They enquired of each other,"Is this not the carpenter''s son? |
| 60056 | Through mere human wisdom? |
| 60056 | Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven?" |
| 60056 | To the learned divines and contending sectaries of modern Christendom? |
| 60056 | To whom might it be expected that this angel should appear? |
| 60056 | True, but is the smoothness to be all on one side? |
| 60056 | Upon one occasion they came to Him with the question,"Why could not we cast him out? |
| 60056 | WAS HE A PROPHET OF GOD? |
| 60056 | WAS HE A PROPHET OF GOD? |
| 60056 | WHAT is"Mormonism?" |
| 60056 | Was Joseph the Prophet a good man? |
| 60056 | Was he asking a favor of himself?" |
| 60056 | Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? |
| 60056 | Was not the gift of prophecy bestowed upon members of the Church of Christ as one of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit? |
| 60056 | Was not the ordination of the angel sufficient? |
| 60056 | Was that the Gospel? |
| 60056 | Was the slave question the_ casus belli_? |
| 60056 | We are all redeemed by one Lord-- should that make us jealous of each other? |
| 60056 | We are all the children of one heavenly Father-- should that make us jealous? |
| 60056 | We ask then,"Will it do the same things it did anciently?" |
| 60056 | We hear the question asked,"Do not the scriptures say that it is''eternal punishment''and''everlasting punishment?''" |
| 60056 | We read that at the day of Pentecost people being pricked in their hearts began to cry, saying,"Men and brethren, what shall we do?" |
| 60056 | We say He did and would ask, has any man a right to change it? |
| 60056 | Well may we ask: Is it possible that such noble fruits of faith, hope and charity could be produced from anything that men could invent? |
| 60056 | Were not Prophets established in the Church of Christ as members of His body? |
| 60056 | Were they qualified to preach it? |
| 60056 | Were those"great things"shown unto the children of men? |
| 60056 | Were you made in the image of God, body and spirit? |
| 60056 | What art thou, O man, but dust? |
| 60056 | What believers did Christ speak about? |
| 60056 | What can we do better than accept it? |
| 60056 | What could she have been expecting? |
| 60056 | What did Peter say? |
| 60056 | What did that consist of? |
| 60056 | What do the gospels teach concerning this question? |
| 60056 | What do you think of them? |
| 60056 | What effect did Jesus expect from the preaching? |
| 60056 | What fault have you to find with it?" |
| 60056 | What followed? |
| 60056 | What gave the Prophet and his fellow martyrs power to endure all hardship and death at the hands of enemies? |
| 60056 | What gave the former- day Saints the power to endure all for their religion? |
| 60056 | What has caused it to lose its power, and become the uncertain teacher it is to- day? |
| 60056 | What is the reason of this transformation? |
| 60056 | What is the reason that men, who have heretofore been respected as ministers of religion, are now little thought of? |
| 60056 | What is the reason that people talk of sacred things lightly? |
| 60056 | What is the reason, my friends, that people are becoming irreligious? |
| 60056 | What is the tree that has brought forth these excellent fruits? |
| 60056 | What is to be understood by_ this_ Gospel of the kingdom? |
| 60056 | What is your method?" |
| 60056 | What law? |
| 60056 | What mean ye? |
| 60056 | What of the multiplied thousands of beliefs, creeds, faiths, dogmas and doctrines that flood the land? |
| 60056 | What shall we do about them? |
| 60056 | What tracts do you distribute? |
| 60056 | What was it good for? |
| 60056 | What was it, then, that gave to these unrewarded men, these outcasts, the tone of optimism we find in their writings? |
| 60056 | What were the words? |
| 60056 | What will be their fate?" |
| 60056 | What will not His second coming, judging from this, bring with it? |
| 60056 | What would the Lord reject them for? |
| 60056 | What, then, becomes of Sectarianism? |
| 60056 | What, we may now ask, is this latter- day kingdom like? |
| 60056 | When He gave His apostles authority to preach, did that give all men who feel disposed to take the honor unto themselves, the same authority? |
| 60056 | When shall I regain Thy presence, And again behold Thy face? |
| 60056 | Whence, then, his authority for the sweeping declaration he made as to the condition of the so- called Christian churches? |
| 60056 | Where also is the ordinance of laying on hands for the reception of the Holy Ghost with all His gracious gifts? |
| 60056 | Where are the evidences of its permanency? |
| 60056 | Where do we find it as it existed anciently? |
| 60056 | Where had he learnt this? |
| 60056 | Where in the whole world have these questions found their only possible solution to the satisfaction of all parties concerned? |
| 60056 | Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? |
| 60056 | Which faction is the Church of Christ? |
| 60056 | Which has the truth? |
| 60056 | Which is the more likely supposition? |
| 60056 | Which is the most probable supposition? |
| 60056 | Which time did you tell the truth?" |
| 60056 | Which will you have, my friends, the doctrine of the Bible or the doctrines of men? |
| 60056 | Who can doubt it? |
| 60056 | Who can then say that we in the books of the Bible have all that written which God ever intended to convey to mankind, and that revelation has ceased? |
| 60056 | Who had pointed out this great philosophical truth to him? |
| 60056 | Who has authority to administer it? |
| 60056 | Who is proud and vain, lazy and filthy? |
| 60056 | Who knows anything of the manner in which the ordinance should be solemnized? |
| 60056 | Who of all these parties are right; or, are they all wrong together? |
| 60056 | Who shall stand when he appeareth? |
| 60056 | Who swears and lies and slanders? |
| 60056 | Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? |
| 60056 | Who was his teacher? |
| 60056 | Who would have believed such a work to have emanated from the Spirit of God? |
| 60056 | Why are they baptized for the dead_?" |
| 60056 | Why did he not wait and get it? |
| 60056 | Why did not the Lord remit Paul''s sins through his fasting and prayer? |
| 60056 | Why did not the Lord remit Paul''s sins through his fasting and prayer? |
| 60056 | Why did not the great Apostle cure him instead of leaving him sick? |
| 60056 | Why did they re- ordain each other? |
| 60056 | Why do they not continue the quotation, and give the succeeding verses which form an integral part of the scriptural argument? |
| 60056 | Why give them up and turn to the heathen of other lands, who neither understand our language nor have anything of race or sympathy in common with us? |
| 60056 | Why interfere in their appointed and acknowledged{ 67} calling? |
| 60056 | Why not labor in the fields, or at some mechanical trade? |
| 60056 | Why not leave the work of salvation to them altogether? |
| 60056 | Why not show to those whom we considered deluded a manner of living that will win them to us? |
| 60056 | Why should this innocent age hasten to the remission of sins? |
| 60056 | Why then all this flurry? |
| 60056 | Why, then, should we not send missionaries to Utah, where only about 12,000 people practice and a little over 100,000 people believe in polygamy? |
| 60056 | Why? |
| 60056 | Why? |
| 60056 | Why? |
| 60056 | Why? |
| 60056 | Why? |
| 60056 | Will it be claimed that this promised perfection has come? |
| 60056 | Will the Eternal Father reject all these His children because they did not obey a law which was not made known to them? |
| 60056 | Will the"Christian"world believe? |
| 60056 | Will they, or will they not, stand scrutiny? |
| 60056 | With what principle are we more familiar? |
| 60056 | Would God reveal a system of religion expressed in such_ indefinite terms_ that a thousand different religions should grow out of it? |
| 60056 | Would it be agreeable to you to read a tract? |
| 60056 | Would it not be impossible for a person to stand on the right hand of himself? |
| 60056 | Would it not have carried with it a suspicion on its very surface? |
| 60056 | Would you walk in and sit down? |
| 60056 | You are surprised? |
| 60056 | You have several children-- should that make your first- born jealous of the others? |
| 60056 | You know if we can get to heaven one way, is not that as good as another?" |
| 60056 | You say God has no body; did our Savior have one? |
| 60056 | You say God is a spirit; does that prove He has no body? |
| 60056 | You thought her subjected to all sorts of humiliating treatment, and that polygamy held her hopelessly in subjection? |
| 60056 | You will not fail to call next week? |

| 60056 | or the church of England? |
| 60056 | or were you baptized in the name of Paul? |
| 60056 | some ask, do you mean to say that the Church of England is practicing and teaching erroneous doctrines and ordinances? |
| 60056 | they be well educated for the x._, 15. purpose and sent( by the board of officers)? |
| 60056 | vii, 5); and now, can we believe that revelation then and there ceased? |
| 60056 | was Paul crucified for you? |
| 60056 | where were the body? |
| 60056 | who can appreciate such things until long deprivation has made them precious? |
| 60056 | why are they then baptized for the dead?" |
| 60056 | why are they then baptized for the dead?" |
| 60056 | why not let polygamy rest as the dead issue that it really is? |
| 60056 | { 384} Now, the question is simply this: Is the Bible clear enough so that it undoubtedly can be understood in only one way? |
| 60056 | { 396} What was, then, the nature of his message? |
| 60056 | { 408} Why did he not promise him a miracle? |
| 60056 | { 409} How could it be false? |
| 60056 | { 73} What does he say? |
| 54298 | And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water, and the Eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 54298 And blessed are all they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled"--what with? |
| 54298 | And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? 54298 And now why tarriest thou? |
| 54298 | And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? 54298 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? |
| 54298 | And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? |
| 54298 | Brethren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? 54298 But did not Jesus give authority to all His ministers when He said,''Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature?''" |
| 54298 | But how are they to become saviors on Mount Zion? 54298 But what will become of people who reject what you call the one only plan of salvation? |
| 54298 | But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 54298 But, do they really have these gifts, and were they not all done away with after the days of the apostles?" |
| 54298 | But, do you mean to say that the Book of Mormon will set these matters right and clear up all that is obscure in the Bible? |
| 54298 | Do you believe then that there will be different degrees of glory in heaven? |
| 54298 | Do you not, then, take your doctrines, authority and church discipline from either the Book of Mormon, or the Bible or both? |
| 54298 | Freedom and reason make us men; Take these away, what are we then? 54298 Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? |
| 54298 | How is your church organized, and wherein does it differ from other Christian churches? |
| 54298 | I told him to remain and see whether God would not keep His promise wherein He said by the mouth of His Apostle James:''Is any sick among you? 54298 If I tell you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you of heavenly things?" |
| 54298 | If it is necessary for every one to be baptized,asks one,"what will become of the good people who have died without having that privilege?" |
| 54298 | In what way do you claim this authority has been restored? |
| 54298 | Is it necessary for preachers and members of other churches to be baptized anew in order to enter your church and be saved? |
| 54298 | Is it necessary that baptism should be administered by total immersion? 54298 Is there any other difference between your church and others?" |
| 54298 | Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? |
| 54298 | Now when they heard this they were pricked in their hearts and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? |
| 54298 | Oh, that I suppose is the Mormon Bible? |
| 54298 | What about heaven and hell? 54298 What art thou, O man, but dust? |
| 54298 | What do you mean by that? 54298 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? |
| 54298 | What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? 54298 What is the attitude of your church in regard to other Christian denominations?" |
| 54298 | Whatever can be the matter with these men( Law and Marks)? 54298 Will you explain the order of that organization as it now exists in your church?" |
| 54298 | Would you baptize infants by immersion? |
| 54298 | # DOES THE OBEDIENCE WHICH THE LORD REQUIRES MEAN BELIEF ONLY? |
| 54298 | ### WHAT IS SALVATION? |
| 54298 | ( To the Latter- day Saints):--Do the members of your Church enjoy the gifts of the Holy Ghost? |
| 54298 | ( To the Latter- day Saints):--Have you any more witnesses? |
| 54298 | (?) |
| 54298 | *** But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? |
| 54298 | 15- 11 says"who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods?" |
| 54298 | 29_):"Else what shall they do who are_ baptized_ for the_ dead_, if the dead rise not at all? |
| 54298 | A man, to be a servant of God, must be called, authorized, and empowered by the Lord in some way, or how can he be a servant of God? |
| 54298 | ARE ALL MEN SINNERS? |
| 54298 | ARE NOT MANKIND CLEANSED FROM SIN BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS? |
| 54298 | ARE WE TO A UNITY? |
| 54298 | According to the practice generally in vogue, is it not about time for a revision of the Bible, that the offending parts may be cast out? |
| 54298 | Again, we ask from what source did you receive your information? |
| 54298 | All this clearly indicates immersion, or why_ go down into_ or_ come up out of_ the water? |
| 54298 | Also Acts xxii, 16,"And now why tarriest thou? |
| 54298 | Ananias said to Paul,"why tarriest thou? |
| 54298 | And He said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? |
| 54298 | And He said unto them, Why are ye troubled? |
| 54298 | And He said unto them, were it not so? |
| 54298 | And Jesus said unto them, How be it that ye have not written this thing, that many saints did arise and appear unto many, and did minister unto them? |
| 54298 | And are not the commandments issued by the Savior and His Apostles as much the commands of God as those uttered on Mount Sinai? |
| 54298 | And from whom dost thou receive thy power and blessings but from God?" |
| 54298 | And how can he claim that he has no sins without branding himself as a liar and consequently as a sinner in the sight of heaven? |
| 54298 | And how was Aaron called? |
| 54298 | And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? |
| 54298 | And if they were all one member, where were the body? |
| 54298 | And is not every tree known by its fruits? |
| 54298 | And this because they did not bow in submission to a name with the sound of which their ears had never been saluted? |
| 54298 | And what is repentance? |
| 54298 | And what is this ordinance administered for? |
| 54298 | And what of the authority of young Joseph who Was ordained under the hands of such men, WILLIAM MARKS BEING MOUTH_? |
| 54298 | And what position did he give repentance? |
| 54298 | And what science more important than this great science of all sciences? |
| 54298 | And what was it? |
| 54298 | And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not show unto us what thou meanest by these? |
| 54298 | And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not show us what thou meanest by these? |
| 54298 | And where is the house of the Lord being established? |
| 54298 | And where is the proof that He has ever changed it? |
| 54298 | And who can expect to receive salvation_ from_ God, if they do not believe_ in_ Him? |
| 54298 | And who was Jesus, the Christ? |
| 54298 | And why do thoughts arise in your hearts? |
| 54298 | And why should it be otherwise? |
| 54298 | And why? |
| 54298 | And why? |
| 54298 | And why? |
| 54298 | And would not such consequences ensue, were He to reveal to the human family more than one method of attaining salvation? |
| 54298 | Another question: If the earth, air and water are composed of life, is there any intelligence in this life? |
| 54298 | Are not the fruits borne by the tree of"Mormonism,"in the short space of thirty- six years from the planting of the seed, good, sound and abundant? |
| 54298 | Are the Saints yet to be perfected? |
| 54298 | Are these immortal beings to be kept in outer darkness throughout eternity? |
| 54298 | Are they all to be lost eternally? |
| 54298 | Are they also spurious? |
| 54298 | Are they blessed simply because they are poor in spirit? |
| 54298 | Are they gross, tangible, and, in their organized capacity, subject to decay and change? |
| 54298 | Are we criminals, and to be ostracized from society, for believing in the Bible? |
| 54298 | Are we less than the stature of the fulness of Christ in the knowledge of God? |
| 54298 | Are we not informed that David did not sin except in the case of Uriah, the Hittite? |
| 54298 | Are we still far from the unity of the faith? |
| 54298 | Are you certain you are not an Israelite, come to fulfill the above prophecy? |
| 54298 | Are you going to BEAVER in the spring? |
| 54298 | Are you in harmony with the word of God? |
| 54298 | Are you not mistaken? |
| 54298 | Are you persecuted? |
| 54298 | Are you prepared to say He did not? |
| 54298 | Are you sure the teachings of your church are in strict accord with the Divine record? |
| 54298 | As Jesus was not in His Father''s presence during these three days, where was He? |
| 54298 | BY APOSTLE ORSON PRATT, IN MILLENNIAL STAR, 1866. Who is the happy man? |
| 54298 | Binding only on the Saints at Nauvoo? |
| 54298 | Blessed are the poor in spirit-- who do what? |
| 54298 | But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? |
| 54298 | But are they to be everlastingly lost and destroyed? |
| 54298 | But did He then cast them off forever? |
| 54298 | But even if it could, in the present instance, what would be the use of two Gospels made exactly alike for precisely the same purpose? |
| 54298 | But how about proclaiming liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that were bound? |
| 54298 | But is there no rest for man? |
| 54298 | But it may be asked, have we not in the Christian warfare, power to pull down the strongholds of sin and Satan? |
| 54298 | But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? |
| 54298 | But the question may arise in the mind of our reader, Wherein have I sinned? |
| 54298 | But what about the messenger to prepare the way before the Lord? |
| 54298 | But what about this"everlasting punishment?" |
| 54298 | But what examination can this be, in which you have found out that you spoke that which was not true? |
| 54298 | But what is the object of this important mission? |
| 54298 | But what will the world do? |
| 54298 | But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? |
| 54298 | But, do you consider water baptism essential to salvation? |
| 54298 | CAN SINFUL MAN SAVE HIMSELF? |
| 54298 | CAN THIS KNOWLEDGE BE OBTAINED WITHOUT OBEDIENCE TO THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD? |
| 54298 | Can faith save him? |
| 54298 | Can faith save him?" |
| 54298 | Can it be the low murmurings of distant thunder? |
| 54298 | Can she also express her sorrows? |
| 54298 | Can we accept it? |
| 54298 | Can we comprehend it? |
| 54298 | Can you figure anything but zero out of it? |
| 54298 | Can you find any Scripture changing this order of things? |
| 54298 | Can you find any other name given God''s people than"Saints"of the Most High? |
| 54298 | Can you get any inference from this Scripture other than that God is possessed of all these faculties? |
| 54298 | Can you show one passage of Scripture to prove that God has neither body, parts, nor passions? |
| 54298 | Could you do as much for your religion and your country? |
| 54298 | Could you do as these men do for your religion? |
| 54298 | DOES ANY PART OF THE BIBLE TEACH THAT MAN CAN BE SAVED WITHOUT WORKS? |
| 54298 | DOES THIS MEAN THAT WE ARE TO DO NOTHING? |
| 54298 | Did He go to His Father and God? |
| 54298 | Did He not say to His ancient Jewish disciples,"Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature?" |
| 54298 | Did I not hear words, articulated in a deep, low, mournful sound? |
| 54298 | Did John baptize in the right way? |
| 54298 | Did he make it precede faith? |
| 54298 | Did not the Lord say through Nathan the prophet that He, the Lord, had given David Saul''s wives? |
| 54298 | Did that prove Him such? |
| 54298 | Did the Lord make a mistake? |
| 54298 | Did the word of the Lord fail? |
| 54298 | Did you believe that when you said it? |
| 54298 | Did you ever analyze"Our Father which art in heaven?" |
| 54298 | Did you ever listen to an argument against"Mormons"from the standpoint of Scripture and reason? |
| 54298 | Did you have the Bible in view when you said this, or where did you obtain the information? |
| 54298 | Did you not speak before you thought? |
| 54298 | Did you receive that higher baptism? |
| 54298 | Did you write that? |
| 54298 | Do n''t you think it is time to begin to look for the cause of the trouble? |
| 54298 | Do n''t you think you could afford to try and call us to repentance? |
| 54298 | Do n''t you think you could do better by looking closer to home? |
| 54298 | Do we need perfecting and edifying? |
| 54298 | Do you believe in everlasting punishment?" |
| 54298 | Do you believe it? |
| 54298 | Do you believe that signs shall follow the believers, as recorded in Mark, 16th chapter? |
| 54298 | Do you believe when people die they go either to heaven or to hell, or do you deny hell and disbelieve in a devil?" |
| 54298 | Do you call for the Elders? |
| 54298 | Do you not fear and tremble for your own salvation in neglecting{ 93} the salvation of your dead? |
| 54298 | Do you not remember what happened to Cornelius? |
| 54298 | Do you really believe that such a course will make you popular with the liberty- loving and law- abiding population of your new home? |
| 54298 | Do you remember that the angel said( Acts 1: 11),"Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? |
| 54298 | Do you suppose that you can sufficiently humble yourself to go in at one of those polygamous gates and mingle with the polygamous sons of Jacob? |
| 54298 | Do you think He will return, as promised, with a body of flesh and bones, or do you think He will be just a shadow? |
| 54298 | Does either sprinkling or pouring represent a death, a burial, or a resurrection? |
| 54298 | Does happiness consist in ruling, in judging, in politics, in thrones, in palaces, in earthly grandeur? |
| 54298 | Does happiness seek the companionship of the learned, and select its abode in academies, colleges and universities? |
| 54298 | Does happiness seek the mansions of the rich, the splendid habitations and beautiful parks of the noblemen? |
| 54298 | Does it consist in the honor which man renders to his fellowman? |
| 54298 | Does not that show that belief in Christ is alone sufficient for salvation?" |
| 54298 | Does not the Bible teach everlasting punishment? |
| 54298 | Does not the good book say"and God said, let us make man in our own image?" |
| 54298 | Does sprinkling or pouring represent a birth? |
| 54298 | Does the atonement do more? |
| 54298 | Does the fact that God has a body, parts and passions, debar Him from being an intelligent being, omnipresent, etc.? |
| 54298 | Does this not make baptism a command of God? |
| 54298 | Does this not prove a plurality of Gods? |
| 54298 | FROM WHAT IS MAN SAVED BY CHRIST''S ATONEMENT? |
| 54298 | First, where does the Bible give you authority to call your church"The First Baptist?" |
| 54298 | For one star differeth from another star in glory; so also is the resurrection of the dead?'' |
| 54298 | From whence came Joseph''s gift to foresee and foretell? |
| 54298 | HOW CAN MAN RECEIVE THE GREAT GIFT OF SALVATION FROM SIN? |
| 54298 | Had you, before delivering your sermon, ever conversed with a"Mormon?" |
| 54298 | Has perfection come? |
| 54298 | Has the Eternal Father ceased to have power to make Himself manifest? |
| 54298 | Has the angel, seen in John''s vision on Patmos, yet come? |
| 54298 | Has the earth, indeed, a language? |
| 54298 | Have we united with this Church because we expect to become more honorable in the eyes of the world? |
| 54298 | Have ye turned revelators? |
| 54298 | Have ye turned revelators? |
| 54298 | Have you Prophets and Apostles in your church? |
| 54298 | Have you a Bible at hand? |
| 54298 | Have you any other witnesses to prove that the Godhead consists of three separate Persons? |
| 54298 | Have you not read what I wrote to the Galatians, the Hebrews and the Corinthians concerning this matter? |
| 54298 | He asked:''Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? |
| 54298 | He felt his own weakness in the presence of the Son of God, and said,"I have need to be baptized of Thee, and comest Thou to me?" |
| 54298 | He further said:"Have ye here any meat? |
| 54298 | He was put to death in the flesh; He was quickened by the Spirit; and He went-- where? |
| 54298 | Here are the words of Paul:"Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? |
| 54298 | Here is what I wrote to the Corinthians:"Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? |
| 54298 | Here the grand question arises: of what does sin consist? |
| 54298 | How about the preaching of the Gospel of the kingdom in all the world? |
| 54298 | How are we to decide which one is right? |
| 54298 | How are we to know which religion contains all truth? |
| 54298 | How can he repent if he will not acknowledge that he has sins? |
| 54298 | How can man be like God? |
| 54298 | How could the Roman Catholic fail to recognize the awful ceremony of the eucharist? |
| 54298 | How could we be like God if we were not begotten in His image and in His likeness? |
| 54298 | How dare anyone charge the Almighty with such folly? |
| 54298 | How did He lead captivity captive? |
| 54298 | How did Paul administer the spirit? |
| 54298 | How do you reconcile these two doctrines?" |
| 54298 | How is he to receive it? |
| 54298 | How is this to be done? |
| 54298 | How long, O Lord, shall iniquity triumph, and sin go unpunished? |
| 54298 | How much more republican would we be, if we paid no attention to their teachings, than we are at present? |
| 54298 | How so? |
| 54298 | How then can a man please God if he will not repent of his sins? |
| 54298 | How then can we expect to receive forgiveness unless we accept His offer and obey His word? |
| 54298 | How will you twist the Scripture to make Him out otherwise? |
| 54298 | I have actually seen a vision, and who am I that I can withstand God, or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? |
| 54298 | I see in it what to me are weaknesses, but in what system do they not exist? |
| 54298 | I thought your superior(?) |
| 54298 | IF ORDINANCES AND COMMANDMENTS MUST BE OBEYED HOW ARE MANKIND SAVED BY GRACE, WHICH IS A FREE GIFT? |
| 54298 | IS BAPTISM ESSENTIAL TO SALVATION? |
| 54298 | IS SALVATION FREE TO ALL? |
| 54298 | IS THE CANON OF SCRIPTURE FULL? |
| 54298 | If Cornelius had rejected baptism as non- essential, could he have been saved? |
| 54298 | If He came would He love those who do? |
| 54298 | If He has, when and where has He revealed it? |
| 54298 | If He has, when and where has He revealed it? |
| 54298 | If He should come, where would He go? |
| 54298 | If Peter had been a modern minister, he would have said in answer to the question,''Men and brethren, what shall we do?'' |
| 54298 | If all things whatsoever Jesus commanded are to be taught today how can one teach them unless he be inspired of God? |
| 54298 | If any one of them be right, which is it, and how shall I know it? |
| 54298 | If baptism is not essential to salvation, why does the Lord require it? |
| 54298 | If baptism was not essential to salvation, why did Peter command them to be baptized? |
| 54298 | If it be denied that he was such, how shall the superior wisdom that prompted his words and actions be accounted for? |
| 54298 | If it is a command of God is it not essential to salvation? |
| 54298 | If not, why not? |
| 54298 | If so, where is His word and promise recorded? |
| 54298 | If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? |
| 54298 | If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? |
| 54298 | If the whole were hearing where were the smelling? |
| 54298 | If this is not essential, why not do away with that part of the commission which commands His disciples to go and preach? |
| 54298 | If you wished to learn of the Catholic faith would it be fair to obtain your information from a Presbyterian clergyman? |
| 54298 | In all fairness should not the rule you apply to others apply to us? |
| 54298 | In handling this question why did you not take the Bible,"the rule of your faith and practice,"and expose"Mormonism"principle by principle? |
| 54298 | In the face of all these things, how could I believe that belief alone in Christ was all that was necessary for salvation? |
| 54298 | In the midst of this war of words and tumult of opinions, I often said to myself, What is to be done? |
| 54298 | In this age of unbelief who is looking for the fulfillment of these important events which must surely come to pass? |
| 54298 | In view of this, may I ask, is your mission here simply to love Jesus for$ 1,800 per year, and not for a blessed cent less? |
| 54298 | In what have I done wrong? |
| 54298 | Is He not a spirit without form, immaterial and incomprehensible?" |
| 54298 | Is He not the Shepherd of all those who are willing to serve Him? |
| 54298 | Is it in accordance with scripture to expect prophets to come in these latter days? |
| 54298 | Is it merely sorrow for sin? |
| 54298 | Is it not one who lives up to the Gospel of Christ? |
| 54298 | Is it not possible that the"wise men"of today might learn wisdom pertaining to salvation from the humble"Mormon"Elder? |
| 54298 | Is it not the violation of law or the breaking of a command, and is not the sin of omission as great as the sin of commission? |
| 54298 | Is it not worth the candle? |
| 54298 | Is it possible that a good man like Cornelius needed to do anything more than he was doing, in order to be accepted and justified before God? |
| 54298 | Is it right to look for the true Church of Christ in popularity? |
| 54298 | Is it simply"an outward sign of an inward grace?" |
| 54298 | Is it that the wicked flee when no man pursueth? |
| 54298 | Is it the king upon his throne? |
| 54298 | Is it the mighty emperor who sways the destiny of millions? |
| 54298 | Is man forever doomed to sorrow, lamentation, and ghastly death? |
| 54298 | Is not every man to be judged according to his works? |
| 54298 | Is sprinkling the correct way to baptize? |
| 54298 | Is that not heaven? |
| 54298 | Is the Gospel plan imperfect in that it does not provide a way{ 441} for those who have had no opportunity to receive that birth? |
| 54298 | Is the remission of sins essential to salvation? |
| 54298 | Is there work for the ministry? |
| 54298 | Is this a crime? |
| 54298 | Is this disloyalty? |
| 54298 | Is this not so? |
| 54298 | Is your church founded on revelation-- living, modern, and not dead? |
| 54298 | It is also referred to by Paul:"Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? |
| 54298 | It might also be asked, What will become of those good people who die without believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, never having heard of Him? |
| 54298 | James J. Strang? |
| 54298 | James:--How dare I teach such doctrine when the Lord had instructed us to teach them to observe all things whatsoever He had commanded us? |
| 54298 | James:--You say that that is what the preachers have taught you? |
| 54298 | Jesus had a body of flesh and bones-- can you explain or ridicule it away? |
| 54298 | John:--Have you forgotten what Joel prophesied concerning the last days? |
| 54298 | John:--I said,"I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?" |
| 54298 | Judged by the Reorganite standards of faith and doctrine will this statement bear the light of investigation? |
| 54298 | Latter- day Saints:--Have we not proven that the proper mode of baptism is immersion, and that the object of baptism is for the remission of sins? |
