“Says one brother to another, 'Joseph says all covenants are done away, and none are binding but the new covenants; now suppose Joseph should come and say he wanted your wife, what would you say to that? I would tell him to go to hell.' This was the spirit of many in the early days of this Church.” ShouldDoneWantedSpiritChurchHellWifeBrotherCovenantBindingPolygamyGo To Hell Author:Jedediah M. Grant
“We often say, and you have heard the expression as it has already been referred to in this conference, that "as man now is, God once was, and as God now is, man may become." The only way man may become as God now is, is through fulfilling the laws of celestial marriage and the laws of the gospel, as I have just read to you the word of the Lord from the D&C. Can we afford to overlook such opportunities for exaltation? Temple marriage is not just another form of church wedding; it is a divine covenant with the Lord that if we are faithful to the end, we may become as God now is.” IfsMenWayMayEndsFormLawOpportunityChurchLordHeardDivineExpressionFaithfulTemplesFulfillingConferencesCovenantCelestialExaltationTemple Marriage Author:Eldred G.
