22 and 23 – On the nature of God
the Principle of Revelation:
"Salvation cannot come without
revelation, it is in vain for
anyone to minister without it."
8 August 1839
"Where there is a prophet, a
priest or a righteous man unto
whom God gives His Oracles,
there is the Kingdom of God;
and where the Oracles of God
are not, there the Kingdom of
God is not."
22 January 1843
"Jesus in his teaching says upon
this rock I will build My church
and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it. What rock?
Revelation."
22 January 1843
"A man is saved no faster than
he gets knowledge, for if he
does not get knowledge he will
be brought into captivity by
some evil power in the other
world-- as evil spirits will have
more knowledge, and
consequently more power, than
many men who are on the
earth. Hence, it needs
Revelation to assist us and give
us knowledge of the things of
God."
10 April 1844
"We must have revelations
then, and we can see that the
doctrine of revelation as far
transcends the doctrine of no
revelation as knowledge is
above ignorance; for one truth
revealed from heaven is worth
all the sectarian notions in
existence."
10 March 1844
