September 18 – Obedience to Government. Romans 13:1-2; “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.”

Ask the Mormon if they believe the Church was following their 12th Article of Faith when they went into hiding because of polygamy. If the Church mandated this today, would they do the same thing earlier Mormon leaders did, and not follow the laws of the land?

Articles of Faith 1:12; “We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.”
Brigham Young said that Christ’s Blood was not enough to atone for the sin of somebody of breaking any covenants you made with God. He said a person’s own blood would also be required to atone for the sin of breaking your covenant with God (Journal of Discourses, Vol 3, pg 217
Brigham also said in Journal of Discourses in Vol 7, Pg 289: That without Joseph Smith’s approval, nobody will be allowed into the Celestial Kingdom of God.
The Mormon’s named a University named after this guy??
A full length film documentary should be made for a
National TV audience, just on the Journal of Discoursed alone. I bet that would cause a lot of Mormons, during a sacrament meeting, to look around and say to themselves: “What in the heck am I doing here/”
All the quotes you’ve listed are AWESOME! Instead of waiting for a 2 hr film what do you say if I make a YouTube video w/ all of the quotes you/I find? 😉 Think about it and let me know! A good place to look for more is on Wiki-wand. I found a list of that kind of thing from the JD w/ Orson Pratt. That in itself would make another great video. 🙂
That would be awesome y’all…keep us posted🙂

The sayings (quotes) from Brigham Young in the church’s Journal of Discourses, should be enough to give any active Mormon pause and questions why they remain in the church.
For example: Brigham said that Jesus was not begotten by the Holy Ghost; that his birth was natural one (Journal of Discourses Vol 1, pg 51)
Brigham stated that a person must not only confess Jesus Christ as Savior to be saved, but they must confess Joseph Smith as God’s only prophet to be saved (Journal of Discourses, Vol 9, Pg 264)
Brigham stated that the Blood Of Christ is not enough to atone for the sins of mankind. Your own blood must be spilled if you have broken any of the covenants you have made with God (Journal of Discourses, Vol 3, pg#247)
Brigham Young stated that a person can not enter heaven without Joe Smith’s consent (Journal of Discourses, Vol 7, pg# 289)
A Youtube video would be awesome. Something (Anything) has got to be done that will get the attention of Mormons. I was thinking of a 2 hr documentary film, that would include numerous TV promotional spots, broadcast with some regularity, starting perhaps 30 days or so before the showing of the film. I would like to see the film produced, directed and promoted by professional film makers. I honestly believe that such a film, if professionally done, would do more to save Mormons than any other thing that has come along so far. The church would find itself tied in knots trying to explain away the truths depicted in the film.
