45464And where was there ever a father without first being a son?
45464And why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
45464And why does he retain any conception of God at all, but that he retains some portions of an imperfect humanity?
45464Are there any limits that can be conceived?
45464Are they not all ministering_ spirits_ sent to minister for them who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?"
45464As for the spirit of man-- the mind-- who can say what its metes and bounds are, much less what they shall be?
45464Born there?
45464But I have a text to propose to them:_"What think ye of Christ?
45464But even had the light lacked brightness, would the gods have been powerless to comprehend it?)
45464But how came Orson Pratt acquainted with Hebrew?
45464But how was this to be accounted for?
45464But in order to illustrate this, let us inquire, What is our destiny?
45464But to resume our inquiry: Is Jesus Christ immutable, unchangeable?
45464But what is the sum of my argument thus far on Mr. Van Der Donckt''s premise of God''s absolute"simplicity"or"spirituality?"
45464But where does this leave Jesus?
45464But, says one,"Does not that oneness mean one person?"
45464By the way, should we not also conclude that David had wings?
45464Can any one, can Mr. Van Der Donckt himself, be quite sure of all this?
45464Can it be?
45464Conclude we, then, with the Psalmist:"All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee?"
45464Could plainer words be found to teach that angels, both good and bad, are spirits, devoid of bodies?
45464Did he create any of these things out of nothing?
45464Did the finite body, taken on by the spirit of Jesus, communicate its limitations to God?
45464Did the materials then originate?
45464Did they not converse, have knowledge, read books?
45464Do we ascribe to him a fixed purpose?
45464Do we conceive him as knowing and determining?
45464Do we speak of him as continuing unchanged?
45464Do you believe it?
45464Do you believe it?
45464Do you mean to say we were all in existence on the sixth day?
45464Do you not believe that the spirit will endure forever?
45464Do you not believe that_ I am in the Father and the Father in me?
45464Does he possess body, parts and passions?
45464Does not that bespeak a pre- existence of another personage besides the Almighty?
45464Does this refer to the birth of the body of flesh and bones?
45464Else of what significance are the following passages?
45464For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee?
45464For 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?"
45464Grant 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?
45464Had God a body(_ Latin corpus_) what sense would there be in St. Paul''s corporally or bodily?
45464Has God a body then?
45464Has any man received a fulness at once?
45464Has he?
45464Has it life and intelligence and power to think and reflect?
45464Has not the Reverend gentleman placed for comparison here the most dissimilar passages that perhaps could be found in the whole Bible?
45464Have we reached a point wherein we may receive the fulness of God, of his glory and his intelligence?
45464Have you any further proof of God''s being in the form of a man?
45464Have you not also read in the New Testament that he is called our elder brother?
45464Have you not read, in the New Testament, that Jesus Christ was the first- born of every creature?
45464He said to him,"Where wast thou when I laid the foundation of the earth?
45464He said: Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of these works do ye stone me?
45464He said:"_ In what then_[ in whose name then]_ were you baptized_?"
45464He was born according to man in the flesh, and why not his younger brethren have a similar birth with him in the spirit?
45464Hence, if Jesus had a Father, can we not believe that he[ that Father] had a Father also?
45464How can the infinite become that which it was not from the first?
45464How do you learn this?
45464How does it read in Hebrew?
45464How doth he yet speak?
45464How have we come at the Priesthood in the last days?
45464How is it, then, that he is your elder brother?
45464How long will they inhabit it?
45464How long?
45464How, then, can God be like man?
45464If God is a person, how can he be everywhere present?
45464If I ascend into heaven, thou art there; If I descend into hell thou art there?"
45464If Mr. V. holds to the God of his creed, what becomes of all his"philosophy?"
45464If any one of them be right, which is it, and how shall I know it?
45464If man may not rise to the height of divinity, how shall this prayer of the Christ be realized?
45464If so, then what advantage has the Christian over the Hindoo whom he has called a heathen for so many generations?
45464If there may be two or four things infinite after their kind, because not limited by anything of the same nature, are many infinites inconceivable?
45464If we are now the sons and daughters of God, what will be our future destiny?
45464In 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?
45464In the light of these clear, revealed statements, how shall we explain the various apparitions of God mentioned in the Bible?
45464In what do faith and law of Christ consist?
45464In what state do these considerations leave the argument?
45464In what way?
45464Is God everywhere present?
45464Is Jesus Christ God?
45464Is Jesus Christ God?
45464Is Jesus Christ illimitable?
45464Is Jesus Christ in form like man?
45464Is Jesus Christ without parts?
45464Is Jesus Christ without passions?
45464Is 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?
45464Is Mr. Van Der Donckt prepared to accept the inevitable conclusion of his own exposition of John 10:30?
45464Is any man perfect?
45464Is he God?
45464Is he God?
45464Is he God?
45464Is he Plato''s"that which always is and has no becoming?"
45464Is he a manifestation of God-- a revelation of him?
45464Is he an exalted man?
45464Is he man?
45464Is he man?
45464Is he possessed of a body of flesh and bone which is eternally united to him-- and now an integral part of him?
45464Is it Physical Identity?
45464Is it Physical Identity?
45464Is it a strange and blasphemous doctrine, then, to hold that men at the last shall rise to the dignity that the Father has attained?
45464Is it logical to say that the intelligence of spirits is immortal, and yet that it had a beginning?
45464Is it not likely, nay, would it not be so?
45464Is it not said that God is a spirit?
45464Is it thinkable that this change was a deterioration?
45464Is it"heathenish"to believe that the offspring shall ultimately be what the parent is?
45464Is not this the necessary corollary of Spinoza''s definition of the"finite after its kind?"
45464Is not this to be so with the children of men?
45464Is that true?
45464Is the Son, then, like the phonograph or the machine, the instrument of the Father?
45464Is the atmosphere visible?
45464Is the person of God very glorious?
45464Is there any doubt about men being the sons of God?
45464It is correct enough, but who told you that man did not exist in like manner upon the same principle?
45464It 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?
45464Jesus answered, referring to Psalm 82:6,"Is it not written in your law: I said you are Gods?
45464Jesus, observing that something had happened to him, turned to the apostles and said,"Who touched me?"
45464Jesus, what are you going to do?
45464Joshua approached him and said:"Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?"
45464Let us ask, rather, how did Jesus Christ-- God-- deal with sinners?
45464Love is an attribute of mind, of spirit; must one conclude then from this definition that God is a mere attribute of mind?
45464Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?"
45464Now ask yourselves this simple question upon natural principles, has the species altered?
45464Now had he been flesh or man before, as the''Mormons''hold, how could he become what he was already from all eternity?"
45464Now, had he been flesh, or man, before, as"Mormons"hold, how could he become what he was already from all eternity?
45464Now, therefore, why should we die?
45464On 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?"
45464Or was it placed in the word of God because it is simply true?
45464Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"
45464Or would he find an interpretation, or explanation necessary?
45464Or would he insist upon interpreting these passages by others, and by reason?
45464Presently two personages in white apparel stood beside them and said:"Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
45464Says he,"Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are Gods?
45464See Genesis 3rd chap., 9th and 10th verses--"And the Lord called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
45464Seest thou that thou art created after mine own image?
45464Shall he come again in that form?
45464That is not so gentle, is it?
45464The first question is,"What is the name of God in the pure language?"
45464The question is often asked, Is there any difference between the Spirit of the Lord and the Holy Ghost?
45464Then what may not be done in eternity by one of these God- men?
45464They replied,"Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?"
45464Thus 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?"
45464To state the question fairly in other words we might say, Master, was this man born blind because he had sinned?
45464To what heights of power and glory may they not ascend?
45464To which of the angels said he at any time:"Sit on my right hand till I make thy enemies thy footstool?
45464To whom then have you likened God, or what image will you make for him?
45464Very well, then; as God, the Father, begot Jesus, the Son, may not the Son in time also beget a son or sons?
45464Was and is Jesus God-- true Deity?
45464Was he God as he stood there among his disciples in his glorious and, to use Mr. V.''s own word,"sacred,"resurrected body?
45464Was that done to make human beings or certain truths more intelligible to God?
45464Were not the people who landed at Plymouth Rock the same species with us?
45464Were not their countenances similar to ours?
45464Were there not mechanics among them, and did they not understand agriculture, etc., as we do?
45464Were they not organized as we are?
45464What are all these beings taken together, or summed up under one head?
45464What are angels?
45464What are knowledge and determination but modes of human consciousness?
45464What are men?
45464What are spirits?
45464What did Jesus do?
45464What do these words imply but that Seth was like his father in features and also doubtless in intellectual and moral qualities?
45464What do we understand heaven to be?
45464What does he mean when he prays that the disciples that God had given him should be one, as he and the Father are one?
45464What 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?
45464What if that power of effort should be slowly aggrandized until man, now a little higher than the monkey, became a really great being?"
45464What is God?
45464What is Jesus Christ?
45464What is it?
45464What is meant by creation?
45464What is the God who does not listen, but the likeness of human obstinacy?
45464What kind of a being is God?
45464What limits can you venture to fix as marking the boundary of his development, of his progress?
45464What may they not do in eternity?
45464What more is truth?
45464What of it?
45464What of the blind, the lame, the halt?
45464What think ye of Christ?
45464What think ye of Christ?
45464What was it?
45464What was the reply?
45464What, resurrected Saints have children?
45464When Jesus looked around, and saw none but the woman, he said to her,"Woman, where are thine accusers?
45464When 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?
45464When?
45464When?
45464When?
45464Whenever did a tree or anything spring into existence without a progenitor?
45464Where did we exist before we came here?
45464Where does he exist?
45464Where was there ever a son without a father?
45464Where wast thou when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"
45464Which in their teaching presents the true doctrine of God''s unity,"Mormons"or orthodox Christians?
45464Which is most in harmony with sound reason and the scriptures,"Mormon"doctrine, or the commonly accepted Christian philosophy?
45464Who can define the difference?
45464Who can perceive the nice shades of difference between the one and the other?
45464Who comprehends its powers?
45464Who dare say that it is not potentially infinite?
45464Who knows how the infinite is constituted?
45464Who of all these parties are right; or, are they all wrong together?
45464Who then did compound the Eternal?
45464Who told you so?
45464Why by him?
45464Why did not Job so answer the Lord?
45464Why do the New Testament writers lay so much stress upon the taking of flesh by Jesus Christ?
45464Why not?
45464Why not?
45464Why not?
45464Why ought they not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold or silver, graven by art and man''s device?
45464Why should there be any limits thought of?
45464Why should we not work forever as well as now?
45464Why?
45464Will he annihilate it?
45464Will he become an impersonal, incorporeal, immaterial God, without body, without parts, without passions?
45464Will it be?
45464Will we ever become gods?
45464With his body of flesh and bones, with the marks in his hands and in his feet?
45464Would Mr. V. from that definition of God believe and teach that God is light, mere cosmic light?
45464Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
45464Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
45464Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
45464You ask, What is truth?
45464You 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?"]
45464and shall be hereafter actually infinite after its kind?
45464and what know we of consciousness itself, but as the contrast between successive mental states?
45464and where will be the end of them?
45464hath no man condemned thee?"
45464is not a thing_ infinite_ after its kind, then, when it is_ not_ limited by anything of the same nature?
45464or created and having a beginning?
45464or 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_?"
45464we have three Gods anyhow, and they are plural; and who can contradict it?
