John Taylor: “But the world are ignorant (in regard to a
great many other things) they do not know anything even about marriage
nor the object of it. What do they know about eternal union? Nothing. Is there any man
living outside of this Church who will have a claim upon his wife on the
other side of the veil? No. Why?
Because
in all their marriages, no matter by what church or
denomination they are celebrated, the ceremony distinctly states,
"until death do you
part." This is the acme of perfection in the Christian world in
relation to this matter! Nothing else can be found anywhere, among any of
the professed religionists of the world; the nearest approach can be
found, not among ministers, but in the yellow-backed literature of the
period, for they do sometimes refer to the prospect of "eternal unions"
hereafter, while the churches recognize no such principle.
God has revealed,
through His servant Joseph Smith, something more. He has told us about our
associations hereafter. He has told us about our wives and our
children being sealed to us, that we might have a claim on them in
eternity. He has revealed unto us the law of celestial marriage,
associated with which is the principle of plural
marriage. I will speak a little upon this subject. It is very
seldom that I refer to it, but there is need for it occasionally. I speak
of it as that law given to us of God.
I do not know, but I have been
informed that there are those who seem to be opposed to this law in one or
two places where we have been traveling. Now, I dare not oppose anything
of the kind. I dare not violate
any law
of God. And I will tell you what Joseph Smith said upon the
subject.
I will tell you what Joseph Smith
Said:
“Compare this principle once with Christendom at
the present day, and where are they, with all their boasted religion,
piety and sacredness while at the same time they are crying out against
prophets, apostles, angels, revelations, prophesying and visions, etc.
Why, they are just ripening for the damnation of hell. They will be damned, for they reject the most glorious
principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and treat with disdain and
trample under foot the key that unlocks the
heavens and puts in our possession the glories of the celestial
world. Yes, I say, such will be damned, with all their professed
godliness. Then I would exhort you to go on and
continue to call upon God until you make your calling and election
surer for yourselves, by obtaining this more sure word of prophecy,
and wait patiently for the promise until you obtain it, etc.” Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith p.
298
He presented this principle to the Twelve, and called upon
them to obey it, and said if they did not,
the
could not go one step
further.
Why could it not go one step further?
Because
we had a religion to live by, but none that placed our associations
upon eternal principles or gave us a claim upon each other in the family
relations in the eternal worlds. But through this
principle we could be sealed to one another through time and eternity; we
could prepare ourselves for an exaltation in the
"Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you, my servant
Joseph, that inasmuch as you have inquired of my hand, to know and
understand wherein I, the Lord, justified my servants Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob; as also Moses, David and Solomon, my servants, as
touching the principle and doctrine of their having many wives and
concubines:"
"Behold! and lo, I am the Lord thy God, and
will answer thee as touching this
matter:
"Therefore, prepare thy heart to receive and obey the
instructions which I am about to give unto you;
for all those who have this law revealed unto them must
obey the same."

This you
will see is strictly in accordance
with what I have told you Joseph Smith told the Twelve—that if this law was not practiced, if they would not enter into this covenant, then the

and everlasting covenant; and if ye abide not that covenant, then are ye

no one
Think of
that, will you. For it is further said:
"no one can
reject this covenant, and be permitted to enter into my
glory."
There are many people who try to excuse
themselves in this
matter, and who essay to do as they please, but as the Lord God liveth, He will
not excuse them. He expects those who profess to be his people to carry
out that law. The revelation continues to
say:
"For all who will have a blessing at my hands,
shall abide the law which was appointed for that blessing, and
the conditions thereof, as
were instituted from before the foundation of the
world;" (Long, long, long, long, long, long ago.
Billions of years ago. )
"And as
pertaining to the new and everlasting covenant, it was instituted for the
fullness of my glory; and he
that receiveth a fullness thereof, must and shall abide the law, or he shall be damned, saith the Lord
God."
must and shall
or
I thought
I would have a little of this revelation read. The whole revelation is
quite lengthy. But it goes to say that all
covenants heretofore entered into amount to nothing, and that they will be
of no benefit to people beyond the grave.
Now, as I
have already said, the reason was very obvious why a law of this kind
should be had. As a people we
professed to be Latter-day
Saints. (Mormon leaders in
2008 say that Polygamy is wrong.)
We
professed to be governed by the
word, and will, and law of God. We had a religion that might do to live
by, but we had none to die by. But this was a principle that God had
revealed unto us, and it must be obeyed. The laws of heaven must not be violated. We must keep sacred the holy covenants we have
entered into.” (Journal of Discourses, 26 vols. [London:
Latter-day Saints' Book Depot, 1854-1886], JD 24: 229 -
230.)
Charles W. Penrose Delivered in The
Tabernacle,
“The
first amendment to the Constitution of
the
The
language is, "That Congress shall pass no law respecting an
establishment of religion." With the establishment of
religion, then, Congress has nothing to do. Congress cannot set up a
religion, nor can it pass
any law respecting an establishment of religion—that is, to prevent its
free exercise.
Now, in regard to that
feature of our faith that they make so much fuss about—a right we
claim under the Constitution of the United States, and against which laws
have been passed in Congress, framed to prevent our carrying out the
commandments of God in regard to our family relations—that feature seems
to upset the equilibrium of our "Christian" friends. What is the matter? "Why, you believe in men having
more wives than one." Yes, some men, good men. We don't
believe that a bad man should have a wife at all. None but
the good deserve the fair. And we believe that righteous men, virtuous
men, men that would not improperly use any power or faculty of their
nature, ought to be permitted to have wives and raise up a holy posterity
and train their children in the ways of virtue, honesty and
uprightness.
God gave Eve to Adam
before death
came into the world. We believe that
good men, who have demonstrated their
fitness for the responsibilities of holy wedlock, may, under the
direction of the Lord, obtain more wives than one, may have them sealed to them by the same covenant
and by the same bond, to be their wives in the eternal world;
and they expect when they depart hence to go where Abraham is—to that
place that is called Abraham's bosom. There they will be in congenial
company. They will verify the words of Jesus, who said, "Many shall come from the east and from the west,
and from the north and from the south, and shall sit down with Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob in the
And I am afraid that a great many of our good
Christian friends who are so terribly shocked about this feature of our
faith, when they get to
the door and look in and see Abraham and Sarah
and Hagar and Keturah, and those concubines given of the Lord to
Abraham—when they see them in the
eternal kingdom they will want to turn away and go to more congenial
company, which they are at perfect liberty to do. If Abraham
was on the earth to-day, these same good people would put him in the
penitentiary, and yet they call Abraham "the
father of the faithful, the friend of God," and want to go to
his bosom when they die! If Jacob were here with
his four wives, through whom he "did build the house of Israel,"
the names of whose twelve sons are to be inscribed upon the gates of the
holy city, the New Jerusalem, that is to come down from God out of heaven
like a bride adorned for her husband—
I say if Jacob were on the earth to-day, they would
put him in jail!
If we
are true and faithful God Almighty will overrule all things for
our good, and bring us off more than conquerors. And every nation and
people and institution and society that fight against Zion shall
become like the dream of a night vision—it will pass away;
and those men that fight
against this work will be, as the prophet said, "Even as when a
hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh and his soul
is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but
he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite."
So it will be with all who
fight against this work and try to overthrow it.”

Latter-day Saints' Book Depot, 1854-1886], JD 25: 218-230.)
George Q Cannon Delivered in
the Tabernacle,
The Kingdom of God when it shall
prevail in the earth—as it will do—will be the civil power
which will shield and protect the Church of Christ against every attack,
against every unlawful aggression, against every attempt to deprive it of
its legitimate rights. At the same time it will protect the Methodist just
as much as it will the Latter-day Saint; it will protect the Roman
Catholic just as much as it will the Methodist; it will protect men of every
creed; it will protect the worshipper of idols in his civil
rights, in his rights as a man and as a citizen. A man may be an infidel;
a man may have been a Latter-day Saint, and denied the faith and lost his
standing in the Church of God, and yet so far as the civil authority is
concerned, so far as the power that is wielded by that which we call the Kingdom of
God is concerned, that man will receive the amplest protection;
he will have the fullest enjoyment of his rights.
If I do not interfere
with any man's right by my worship, and by that which I consider right to
do to my Maker, no man has any right under any form of government to
interfere with me. (See the
Hence it
is that all this action concerning marriage is wrong—this interference
with marriage—it is all wrong from beginning to end, especially in view of
the fact that it is an important principle of our religion. We are ready
to testify that our belief in marriage and our practice of it, is
interwoven with our hopes of eternal salvation. Select every man who has had more wives than one and
retained the faith of the Gospel; take him and his wives and interrogate
them respecting their faith, and every one would say: "this principle is
so intimately interwoven with my hopes of eternal salvation, that I would
be afraid that I would be damned if I did not obey it." I
believe that in nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand where
people are in the faith they would make this
response.
Twenty-five years ago when I was laboring in the
ministry in that region I visited one of the towns, and the
President of the branch of the Saints there, (an old resident, whose
ancestors were among the first settlers of the town) told me his wife was continually jeered at—and this was
25 years ago—by her associates, because she bore children, and bore them
regularly—that she did

him I could scarcely have believed it, it was too horrid. I have learned since, however, that

practice in that
region. (To

I pray
God to fill you with the Holy Ghost, to guide you in the path of
righteousness, to enable you to avoid the many evils abroad in the world,
and as Zion progresses to avoid evils that will crowd upon us; because as Zion increases
there will be new temptations and circumstances thrown around us that will
be a trial to us, unless we have the aid of our God to help us
contend with and overcome them; and that we may have this aid is my prayer
in the name of Jesus, Amen.”

Orson
Hyde: “Says one, "If an angel from heaven would
descend and bear testimony that this work was of God, I would believe it. Why
may I not receive the testimony of angels, as well as Joseph Smith or any
other person? for God is no respecter of persons! If I could receive it, I
would be satisfied then that the work is true." But let me here remark
again—suppose the Omnipotent Jehovah, that sits upon His throne of glory
and power, was to descend and bear testimony, what further credence
would you then want? You would want some one to tell you that it was really God Himself that had visited you, that
you might be satisfied it was not an angel of darkness in the similitude
of a heavenly personage.
Remember
that God, our heavenly Father, was perhaps once a child, and mortal like
we ourselves, and rose step by step in the scale of progress, in the
school of advancement; has moved forward and overcome, until He has
arrived at the point where He now is. "Is this really possible?" Why,
my dear friends, how would you like to be governed by a ruler who had not
been through all the vicissitudes of life that are common to mortals?
If he had not suffered, how could he sympathize with the distress of
others? If he himself had not endured the same, how could he sympathize
and be touched with the feelings of our infirmities? He could not, unless
he himself had passed through the same ordeal, and overcome step by step.
If this is the case, it accounts for the reason why we do not see
Him—He is too pure a being to show himself to the eyes of mortals; He has
overcome, and goes no more out, but He is the temple of my God, and is a
pillar there.”

Latter-day Saints' Book Depot, 1854-1886], JD 1:

Necessity of Ordinances Joseph Smith said:
“ We ask the sects, Do you believe this? They answer, No.
I believe in being converted. I believe in this tenaciously. So did
the Apostle Peter and the disciples of Jesus.
But I further believe in
the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands. Evidence by Peter's
preaching on the day of Pentecost, Acts 2:38. You might as well baptize a bag of sand as a man, if not done in view of the remission
of sins and getting of the Holy Ghost. Baptism by water is but half a baptism,
and is good for nothing without the other half—that is, the baptism of the
Holy Ghost.
The
Savior says, "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
President Brigham
Young, said in the
Tabernacle,
I will tell you in a very few words. If I had my own
choice, and could have my own dictation with regard to physical and mental
labor, I would set apart, for the express benefit of man, at least
one-seventh part of the time for rest. There
are but very few Sabbaths that I have ever kept in strictly resting from
my labors—permitting both body and mind to rest. Perhaps
assembling here on the Sabbath is a rest to many, though it is not very
much of a rest. To those who have been laboring all the week to the utmost
extent of their strength, it may be somewhat of a rest to sit on these
hard benches; but when I come here I have a constant labor on my mind.
This congregation, the Saints throughout the world, and the world of
mankind in general are before me. I think for them all. I would like to
take one-seventh part of the time to rest; but I do not often have this
privilege. If I had my own mind, I would devote the time for
meetings like this within the measure of the six days, and on the
seventh, rest from all my labors, for the express purpose of
renewing the mental and physical powers of man. They require it, as the
Lord well knew; hence he established a day of rest. The natural tendency
of the physical powers of man is to decay; and to preserve them as long as
possible, they need this retirement from labor—this rest—this ease. I very
seldom enjoy this privilege.
Our customs are more or less like the customs of our
fathers, and their influence is often stronger upon us than any
law. There is not a law of God, nor a law of any nation that
exercises so strong an influence upon us as do our traditions at times, to
bind us to certain customs, habits, and ceremonies: consequently, to carry
out the old traditions, we observe this day of rest as we now do. Father
went to meeting on the seventh day, and the priests and all good people go
to meeting on that day. It has been the custom from time immemorial. Some
men and women walk miles to attend meetings; some men walk as many as ten
miles, hold two or three meetings, walk back, and are in their workshops
by five o'clock on Monday morning. Custom
binds us to this, and here we are to-day in compliance with its
force.
Brother Hyde spoke
of a revelation which he tried to find in the Book of Doctrine and
Covenants. That revelation was reserved at that time the compilation for
that book was made by Oliver Cowdery and others, in Kirtland. It was not
wisdom to publish it to the world, and it remained in the private
escritoire. brother Joseph had that revelation concerning this
nation at a time when the brethren were reflecting and reasoning with
regard to African slavery on this
continent, and the slavery of the children of men throughout the
world. There are other revelations, besides this one, not yet published
to the world. (See the White Horse Vision CLICK HERE the "Black" Horse will he

In the due time of the Lord,
the Saints and the world will be privileged with the revelations that are
due to them. They now
have many more than they are worthy
of, for they do not observe
them. The Gentile nations have had more of the revelations of
God than is their just due. And I will say, as I have before said, if guilt before my God
and my brethren rests upon me in the least, it is in this one
thing—that I have revealed too much
concerning God and his kingdom, and the
designs of our Father in heaven. If my skirts are stained in
the least with wrong, it is because I have been too free in telling what God is, how he lives,
the nature of his providences and designs in creating the world, in
bringing forth the human family on the earth, his designs concerning them,
&c.
If I had, like Paul, said—"But if any man be ignorant, let him be
ignorant," perhaps it would have been better for the
people.

How often has it been taught that
if you depend entirely upon the voice, judgment, and sagacity of those
appointed to lead you, and neglect to enjoy the
Spirit for yourselves, how easily you may be led into error, and finally be cast off to the left
hand?
At times I may to many of the brethren
appear to be severe. I sometimes chasten them; but it is
because I wish them to so live that the power of God, like a flame of
fire, will dwell within them and be round about them. These are my
feelings and desires. I wish
to see this people take a course to bring back the days, years, and
intelligence that have been lost through transgression.
This cannot be performed in a day.

Heber C. Kimball said: “What is called "Mormonism" is the delight of my heart;
this people are the pride of my heart, and I wish that every one
would do right, keep the commandments of the Lord, and listen to those
correct principles that are taught them from time to time. Some will come
with great zeal and anxiety, saying, "I want my endowments; I want my
washings and anointings; (See about the 2nd. Anointing CLICK HERE-
http://www.parowanprophet.com/calling_and_election_sure_7.htm
I want my blessings; I wish to be sealed up to eternal
lives; I wish to have my wife sealed and my children sealed to me;" in
short, "I desire this and I wish that." What good would all this do you,
if you do not live up to your profession and practice your religion?
Not as much good as for me to take a bag of sand and baptize it, lay hands upon it for the gift of the
Holy Ghost, wash it and anoint, and then seal it up to eternal lives.
If you oppose any of the works of God
you will cultivate a spirit of apostasy.
If you oppose what is
called the "spiritual wife doctrine," the
Patriarchal Order,
which is of God, that course will
corrode you with a spirit of apostasy, and you will go
overboard; still a great many do so, and strive to justify themselves in
it, but they are not justified of God. When you take that course you put a
knife to brother Brigham's breast, and to the breasts of his associates;
and more or less so when you oppose anything which God has instituted for
His glory and the exaltation of man.
I do not like such conduct
myself, and I am opposed to such characters; I do not ask any favors of
them, and I have often said that I never want one of them to darken my
door. I am against them and God is against them, and I am for sustaining
His cause, the cause of my Father who dwells in the heavens; the cause of
His Son, and the cause that brother Joseph has been the means of bringing
forth by the revelations of Jesus Christ. We sustained Joseph in this
cause in his day, and we sustain the same cause now, and we will sustain
it for ever, and that is our desire and prayer from this time henceforth,
God helping of us.
The principle of plurality of wives never will be done away although some sisters
have had revelations that, when this time passes away and they go through
the veil, every woman will have a husband to herself. I wish more

and not
wait for us old men to take them
all; go ahead upon the right principle, young gentlemen, and
God bless you for ever and ever, and make you fruitful, that we may fill
the mountains and then the earth with righteous inhabitants. That is my
prayer, and that is my blessing upon all the Saints and upon your
posterity after you, for ever. Amen.”
