“It is not hateful to say that an immoral action is sinful. On the contrary, the most compassionate thing we can do is help people to turn away from sin. To ignore another person's wrongful actions is a sign of apathy or indifference, while fraternal correction is motivated by love for that person's well-being, as can be seen by the fact that our Lord Jesus himself urged such correction. Indeed, the call to repentance is at the heart of the Gospel, as Jesus proclaimed, "The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the Good News" (Mark 1:15).” PeopleBelieveWellsHeartPersonsFactsHelpingHandsActionTurnsJesusCan DoSinLordNewsMarkContraryKingdomsWell BeingIndifferenceRepentanceMotivatedCompassionateApathyGood NewsImmoralRepentKingdom Of GodOur LordHatefulCorrectionsFraternal Author:Thomas J.

“Suppose you found your brother in bed with your wife, and put a javelin through both of them. You would be justified, and they would atone for their sins, and be received into the Kingdom of God. I would at once do so, in such a case; and under the circumstances, I have no wife whom I love so well that I would not put a javelin through her heart, and I would do it with clean hands.... There is not a man or woman, who violates the covenants made with their God, that will not be required to pay the debt. The blood of Christ will never wipe that out, your own blood must atone for it.” MenWellsHeartMadeHandsWould BeFoundChristSinPayCasesWifeBloodBrotherCircumstancesBedCleanDebtKingdomsJustifiedKingdom Of GodWipeCovenantYour BrotherClean HandsJavelin Book:Journal of Discourses Source: Journal of Discourses
“I know just as well what to teach this people and just what to say to them and what to do in order to bring them into the celestial kingdom...I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture.
