* Quotes from
Mormon Leaders *
"God is in the still small
voice. In all these affidavits, indictments, it is all of the
devil--all corruption. Come on! ye prosecutors! ye false swearers!
All hell, boil over! Ye burning mountains, roll down your lava!
for I will come out on the top at last. I have more to boast of
than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able
to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large
majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter,
nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work
as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day
Saints never ran away from me yet..." (Joseph Smith from the Mormon
book, History of the Church Vol. 6, pp. 408-409)
"From the day that the Priesthood was taken
from the earth to the winding-up scene of all things, every man
and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as
a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ
are -- I with you and you with me. I cannot go there without his
consent" (Journal of Discourses 7:289).
"The only men who become Gods, even the
Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy. Others attain
unto a glory and may even be permitted to come into the presence
of the Father and the Son; but they cannot reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them, and they refused
to accept them." (Brigham Young, 19 August 1866, JD 11:26)
