Journal of Discourses 1:108; “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.” – Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, May 8, 1853
Romans 12:19; “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”
How would someone atone for their own sins by being murdered?
Does Brigham not believe in Jesus and what He did on the cross for us?
Do these sound like the words of a prophet of God?
The words from this man’s mouth reveal what lies in his heart. Can you imagine being married to such a person?
