Darwin's Rottweiler

"Sir Richard Dawkins: Evolution's fiercest champion, far too fierce",
by Stephen S. Hall, in the September 2005 issue of _Discover_.

There were, in the second half of the 19th century, Darwinian
scientists and scholars openly professing their pre-Adamite beliefs
as facts in their publications. Here are two prominent examples:

1. _Pre-Adamite Man_ (6th edition, 1888 - seven editions total)
by the American physician and Rosicrucian Paschal B. Randolph
(1825-1875), who also espoused transmigrations of souls
(reincarnation).

2. _Preadamites_ (1880, 1888, 1890 editions, preceded by a smaller
1878 tract, _Adamites and Preadamites_) by Alexander Winchell
(1824-1891), professor of geology and paleontology at the
University of Michigan, also the author of _Doctrine of Evolution_.
Winchell was a prominent geologist of his time and also a theistic
Evolutionist and a Pre-Adamiteist, for which reasons he was dismissed
from his professorship at the newly established Vanderbilt University
in May 1878, before returning to the University of Michigan;
he subsequently became one of the co-founders of the GSA,
now based in Boulder, Colorado.

The Geological Society of America(TM) is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to the advancement of the geosciences. The Society was
founded in New York in 1888 by some of the great geologists of the
time, including James Hall, James Dwight Dana, and Alexander Winchell,
who were members of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science. GSA is the first enduring society for the geosciences
in America.

A word of the Lord that corrects the erroneous assertions
of Prof. Alexander Winchell and of the 21st century geologists
and other Evolutionists, such as Sir Richard Dawkins:

The prehistoric hominid fossils are of souls
who had inhabited "other planets" but judged of God
to be "unfit" for resurrection from the dead.

The foregoing message, a revelation of Jesus Christ, I had received
on Nov. 1, 2009, by the power of the Holy Ghost; to wit,
"other planets" and "unfit".

At one time, this planet was not at all in existence, approximately
over 13,000 years ago, meaning 6000 years of the great Eloheim's
creative labor to make this planet + 1000 years of sabbath (i.e.,
the 7th 'day' of rest) + Father Adam's state of innocence
before his fall (no temporal decaying or ageing of any living thing
on this planet, i.e., no death, as the entropy law was not in force)
+ almost 6000 years of bloody history thus far of the sundry races
sprung from Father Adam. Therefore, all of the materials used
to make this planet had to be brought from other spheres of existence.

I know this is sound reasoning, backed by the latter days'
word of God, which I shall now include herein, followed by
an important 1981 report of the findings of Soviet geologists.

"Well, now, Brother William, when the house of Israel begin to come
into the glorious mysteries of the kingdom, and find that
Jesus Christ, whose goings forth, as the prophets said, have been
from of old, from eternity; and that eternity, agreeably to the
records found in the catacombs of Egypt, has been going on
in this system, (not this world) almost two thousand five hundred
and fifty five millions of years: and to know at the same time, that
deists, geologists and others are trying to prove that matter must
have existed hundreds of thousands of years; - it almost tempts
the flesh to fly to God, or muster faith like Enoch to be translated
and see and know as we are seen and known!"

-W.W. Phelps, _Times and Seasons_, Vol. 5. No. 24.
Nauvoo, Illinois, Jan. 1, 1845. Whole No. 108. John Taylor, editor.

W.W. Phelps was, along with Oliver Cowdery, a scribe of the Apostle
Joseph Smith for publishing (in 1842) the Book of Abraham. In the same
Jan. 1, 1845 issue of the church of Jesus Christ-published
_Times and Seasons_, an article by Brigham Young was also included;
to wit, "A WORD TO THE CHURCHES ABROAD. The Twelve,
feeling a great anxiety for the unity and prosperity of the whole
church, and, more especially, for the benefit of the branches of the
church abroad in the world, would, after mature deliberation, and as
a matter of counsel, (approving of the course, management and matter
of the _Times and Seasons and Neighbor_,) recommend that suitable
pains and exertions be taken by both elders and members, to obtain
these papers from Nauvoo. A unity of effort, to circulate these
papers, not only among the saints, but among the people at large,
will greatly facilitate the labors of the traveling elders, while
it disseminates correct principles, sanctioned by the highest
authorities in the church, and at the same time, opens a channel of
communication, best calculated to win the good feelings of
the community, while the affections, and zeal of the brethren,
are harmonized, by the same doctrines, the same rules; and
the same laudable purposes."

The key passage in the Book of Abraham,
now designated as chapter 3, verse 24:

"And there stood one among them that was like unto God,
and he said unto those who were with Him,
We will go down, for there is space there, and
we will take of these materials, and we will make an earth
whereon these may dwell;"

Wilford Woodruff Journal.
January 31, 1861: Part of remarks of Brigham Young:
(...)
I believe in the great variety in the vast creations of God.
I do not believe that the Lord ever made two worlds alike
or think alike in any world. I do not believe that the human family
have been alike in stature in the various ages of this world.
The Lord has power to give a soul or spirit as much intelligence
in a tabernacle 2 or 3 feet high as in a giant 8 or 10 feet high,
as we find evidence that in some ages of this world,
men have lived to that height.

A few days after Nov. 1, 2009, I found this New York times article:

RUSSIANS PLAN DRAMATIC EXPANSION OF EFFORT IN EARTH DRILLING
By THEODORE SHABAD
Published: September 29, 1981

THE Soviet Union, apparently encouraged by the progress of its
two deep probes into the earth's crust, has announced an expansion of
its continental drilling program calling for some 20 holes
up to seven miles deep.

At the same time, the Soviet press reported that the drilling effort
thus far had identified evidence of life in rocks more than two
billion years old and that some of the characteristics of deepseated
rocks, such as temperature and density, did not conform to
predictions.

Of the two deep-drilling projects now under way, one, in the Kola
Peninsula of northern European Russia, reached 35,371 feet in May,
after a 15-year effort. The other, at Saatly in the Transcaucasian
republic of Azerbaijan, was reported at 24,600 feet earlier this
month. The target of the two holes is a depth of some 50,000 feet, or
more than nine miles.

Until the Kola drilling project, the record for the deepest hole had
been held by the United States with 30,440 feet, achieved in 1974 in
Oklahoma. In recent years, following the successful international
Deep-Sea Drilling Program of the 1970's, American scientists have also
expressed interest in a comparable continental scientific drilling
program to gain more knowledge about the dynamics, resources,
structure, evolution and genesis of the continents.

Nickel Reportedly Found

Some of the initial findings of the Soviet drilling program were made
public last May 31 in the newspaper Sovetskaya Rossiya of Moscow,
which interviewed several scientists associated with the Kola project.

Yuri Yakovlev, a geologist with the Kola branch of the Geological
Institute of the Academy of Sciences, was quoted as having said that
the deep hole, as planned, had passed through a substantial nickel
deposit at a depth of 5,200 to 5,900 feet. Nickel is now being mined
closer to the surface in the Kola Peninsula, and the hole's site had
been chosen in part to determine the existence of ore bodies at
greater depths.

According to Mr. Yakovlev, however, the evidence of life at great
depths had not been expected. He said accumulations of gas, water in
fissures and bromine and iodine brines all testified to some
biological activity as the drill penetrated through alternating layers
of igneous rocks emanating from the earth's interior and rocks of
marine origin laid down during the Late Precambrian Era some two
billion years ago.

Providing further details on remains of life at such depths, another
geologist, B.V. Timofeyev, said microscopic fossils had been found
at depths of 22,000 feet. He said that 24 species had been identified
among these microfossils, representing the envelopes or coverings of
single-cell marine plants known as plankton. Unlike conventional
shells of limestone or silica, these coverings were found to consist
of organic compounds of carbon and nitrogen and were said to have
remained remarkably unaltered despite the huge pressures and high
temperatures to which they had been subjected.

According to the report on the Kola hole, the Russians have developed
instrumentation to make physical measurements directly at the bottom
of the borehole before the cores of rock are lifted to the surface.
The problem was that, just as deepwater fish tend to explode when
raised to the surface, rock samples were deformed by their huge
internal pressures when brought out of the borehole.

Several Unexpected Findings

Y.V. Karus, who heads the Oil Geophysics Corporation of the Geology
Ministry, said he had been impressed by the fact that, contrary to
expectations, rock density declined at great depths. Near the surface,
density tends to increase with depth, but at a depth of some
14,800 feet, he said, instruments recorded a sudden decrease
in density and an increase in porosity and permeability. A similar
change occurred when the borehole reached the oldest rocks of the
Precambrian Era at 22,000 feet.

Soviet scientists had expected to find basalt replacing granite
at that depth. However, with the borehole well past the 35,000-foot
mark, it is still in granite, with no basalt in sight, according to
the Soviet report.

22,000 feet > 4.1 miles

Q. What is the difference between basalt and granite?
In: Geology

A. (...) Basalt is basic and contains a substantial amount of olivine
whereas granite is acidic and is rich in quartz.

Basalt is an intrusive igneous rock with small mineral crystals,
formed when magma cools and solidifies rapidly; this is
usually on the surface of Earth's crust, especially at incidents of
seafloor spreading on the ocean floor as contact with seawater
cools the magma rapidly.

Granite is the foundation of the continental crust.
Basalt is the foundation of oceanic crust. (...)

Here are more corroborative scriptures:

33 And worlds without number have I created; and
I also created them for mine own purpose; and
by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten.

34 And the first man of all men have I called Adam, which is many.

35 But only an account of this earth, and the inhabitants thereof,
give I unto you. For behold, there are many worlds that have
passed away by the word of my power. And there are many that
now stand, and innumerable are they unto man; but all things are
numbered unto me, for they are mine and I know them.

36 And it came to pass that Moses spake unto the Lord, saying:
Be merciful unto thy servant, O God, and tell me concerning
this earth, and the inhabitants thereof, and also the heavens,
and then thy servant will be content.

37 And the Lord God spake unto Moses, saying:
The heavens, they are many, and they cannot be numbered unto man;
but they are numbered unto me, for they are mine.

38 And as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof
even so shall another come, and there is no end to my works,
neither to my words.

39 For behold, this is my work and my glory--
to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

-Moses 1:33-39 (inspired correction of KJV Genesis, by Joseph Smith,
who received this passage in June 1830)

The Book of Mormon, Ether 13:9
9 And there shall be a new heaven and a new earth; and
they shall be like unto the old save the old have passed away,
and all things have become new.

Doctrine and Covenants 77:1 (March 1832)
1 Q. What is the sea of glass spoken of by John,
4th chapter, and 6th verse of the Revelation?
A. It is the earth, in its sanctified, immortal, and eternal state.

Every man upon the earth, professing Christians or non-professing,
must hear it, and will know it sooner or later. They came here,
organized the raw material, and arranged in their order
the herbs of the field, the trees, the apple, the peach, the plum,
the pear, and every other fruit that is desirable and good for man;
the seed was brought from another sphere, and planted in this earth.
The thistle, and thorn, the brier, and the obnoxious weed
did not appear until after the earth was cursed. When Adam and Eve
had eaten of the forbidden fruit, their bodies became mortal
from its effects, and therefore their offspring were mortal.

-Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 1:50-51 (April 9, 1852)

The Brothers Karamazov (1879), by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
God took seeds from different worlds and sowed them on this earth,
and His garden grew up and everything came up that could come up,
but what grows lives and is alive only through the feeling of
its contact with other mysterious worlds. If that feeling grows weak
or is destroyed in you, the heavenly growth will die away in you.
Then you will be indifferent to life and even grow to hate it.

22 And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed he would not have
fallen, but he would have remained in the garden of Eden. And
all things which were created must have remained in the same state
in which they were after they were created; and they must have
remained forever, and had no end.

23 And they would have had no children; wherefore they would have
remained in a state of innocence, having no joy, for they knew
no misery; doing no good, for they knew no sin.

24 But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him
who knoweth all things.

25 Adam fell that men might be; and
men are, that they might have joy.

26 And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may redeem
the children of men from the fall. And because that they are redeemed
from the fall they have become free forever, knowing good from evil;
to act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the
punishment of the law at the great and last day, according to
the commandments which God hath given.

27 Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are
given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose
liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or
to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and
power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be
miserable like unto himself.

-The Book of Mormon, II Nephi 2:22-27

KJV Genesis 11:5-9
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower,
which the children of men builded.

6 And the LORD said,
Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language;
and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained
from them, which they have imagined to do.

7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language,
that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of
all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD
did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence
did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

KJV Genesis 3:14
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent,
Because thou hast done this, thou [art] cursed above all cattle,
and above every beast of the field;
upon thy belly shalt thou go,
and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

God is the author of the races, saith the Holy Ghost.
(Nov. 6, 2009)

When God speaks to the people, he does it in a manner to suit their
circumstances and capacities. He spoke to the children of Jacob
through Moses, as a blind, stiff-necked people, and when Jesus and
his Apostles came they talked with the Jews as a benighted, wicked,
selfish people. They would not receive the Gospel, though presented
to them by the Son of God in all its righteousness, beauty and glory.
Should the Lord Almighty send an angel to re-write the Bible, it would
in many places be very different from what it now is. And I will even
venture to say that if the Book of Mormon were now to be re-written,
in many instances it would materially differ from the present
translation. According as people are willing to receive the things of
God, so the heavens send forth their blessings. If the people are
stiff-necked, the Lord can tell them but little.

-Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 9:311 (July 13, 1862)

For behold, thus saith the Lord God:
I will give unto the children of men line upon line,
precept upon precept, here a little and there a little;
and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and
lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom;
for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them
that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away
even that which they have.

Cursed is he that putteth his trust in man, or maketh flesh his arm,
or shall hearken unto the precepts of men, save their precepts
shall be given by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Wo be unto the Gentiles, saith the Lord God of Hosts!
For notwithstanding I shall lengthen out mine arm unto them
from day to day, they will deny me; nevertheless, I will be merciful
unto them, saith the Lord God, if they will repent and come unto me;
for mine arm is lengthened out all the day long,
saith the Lord God of Hosts.

-The Book of Mormon, II Nephi 28:30-32

Doctrine and Covenants 100:16-17
16 For I will raise up unto myself a pure people,
that will serve me in righteousness;

17 And all that call upon the name of the Lord, and
keep his commandments, shall be saved. Even so. Amen.

Yea, the Lord Omnipotent reigneth and hath authored
both the planetary and the interplanetary races of men.
Amen.

I presume that, among the extraplanetary fossils of human beings
planted in the earth of this planet by the great Eloheim,
fragmented, fossilized remains of infants have been found
and will be found. What of them? I don't know, but I believe
the testimony given in The Book of Mormon (Alma 40:1-14), that
God the Eternal Father will resurrect whomsoever he will,
in his own due time.

"For we know in part, and we prophesy in part." Paul the Apostle,
I Corinthians 13:9.

In W.W. Phelps's letter, published in that same Jan. 1, 1845 issue of
_Times and Seasons_, it is also affirmed thus:

Have the mightiest men on earth reared monuments of grandeur?
of glory? of duration? of splendor? of fame? of utility?
or of admiration? Joseph Smith has exceeded all their wisdom
and greatness. He has brought back the past and rolled up the future,
whereby the past, present, and future, exhibit their images
like the skies over the ocean.

Mormonism! O Mormonism! Nimrod, Homer, Pharaoh, Cadmus, Alexander,
Nebuchadnezzar, Holofornes, Herod, Bonaparte, and an immense retinue
of other dignitaries, who have burst into being with pomp and glory,
and made a trembling world wonder at their cruelty and cunning: --
Where are the pillars, the records, and the approvals of heaven,
of all your greatness?

"A heap of dust alone remains of thee, 'Tis all thou art and
all the proud shall be," while Mormonism, from an Abel, though dead,
yet speaketh; from an Elijah though translated in a fiery chariot
to heaven, yet, returns in glory with Moses, and blesses Jesus
at the transfiguration on the mount! O Mormonism!

Isaiah 64:8
But now, O LORD, thou [art] our father;
we [are] the clay, and thou our potter;
and we all [are] the work of thy hand.

II Nephi 27:27 (cf. Isaiah 29:16)
And wo unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord!
And their works are in the dark; and they say:
Who seeth us, and who knoweth us?
And they also say:
Surely, your turning of things upside down
shall be esteemed as the potter's clay.
But behold, I will show unto them,
saith the Lord of Hosts, that I know all their works.
For shall the work say of him that made it,
he made me not?
Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it,
he had no understanding?

II Thessalonians 2:11-12
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,
that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth,
but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

"Believe it not!"
When the servants of God have proclaimed the truth
Satan has ever been ready to say,
"Believe it not!"
He has instilled into the minds of the children of men
hatred for the truth--that is, every one that has been
willing to listen to him. He has entered into them,
taken possession of their souls, and has used them
to accomplish his wicked purposes. He has done this through man.
He could not do it without he had some tabernacle to operate through.

Latter-day Sophists like Darwin, Spencer, Huxley, Galton,
Paschal B. Randolph, Alexander Winchell, and Richard Dawkins.

"I am Darwin's bulldog." T.H. Huxley.

Fierce crusader
A deference to public sensitivities about religion led Charles Darwin
to amend the second edition of _On the Origin of Species_ to attribute
the grandeur of life to "the Creator" in the book?s final sentence.
Darwin?s intellectual heir, Richard Dawkins (above), is not so polite.
"Faith," he has written, "is blind trust in the absence of evidence,
even in the teeth of evidence."

But, as I said, God has reveled some things to us, and we know
they are true; and we can bring all the science of the world
to that standard which God has given unto us. As I have told many of
our young men when they have been going to college, how valuable it is
to know that these doctrines of Darwin are incorrect, and that
man has not come up from that low condition, through thousands or
millions of years, to his present stature and reasoning faculties,
etc. It is worth something to know that, to begin with, and not spend
time over it. So it is with many things that are taught by scientific
men. It gives the Latter-day Saints an advantage over every
other people and our young men will make progress in science
that will surprise the world because of this, having certain fixed
principles of truth to commence with which God has revealed, and
which they know are true. This is our condition as an entire people.
There are cartloads of books being written from time to time to prove
certain things that are not true. The Lord having revealed to us
the truth, and having His Spirit to enlighten us, by which we can
go to Him and ask concerning matters about which we are ignorant,
He will give us light and dispel darkness.

-George Q. Cannon, Collected Discourses, Vol. 3 (Sep. 24, 1893)

Ye that know the truth and persist in your fight
against the kingdom of God would do well to do the works of
the Apostle George Q. Cannon, saith the Lord. (Sep. 2, 2008)

have I not commanded to repent?

And he that hath no understanding, it remaineth in me to do
according as it is written.

(received by the Prophet Joseph, some days prior to the
conference beginning September 26, 1830)

Joseph Smith, Jun., History of the Church, Vol. 1, pgs. 143,145:

Not long after this conference of the 2nd of January closed,
there was a man came to me by the name of James Covill,
who had been a Baptist minister for about forty years, and
covenanted with the Lord that he would obey any command
that the Lord would give to him through me, as His servant,
and I received the following:

Revelation to James Covill, given at Fayette, New York,
January 5th, 1831.
<snip all 24 verses>

As James Covill rejected the word of the Lord, and returned to
his former principles and people, the Lord gave unto me and
Sidney Rigdon the following revelation explaining why he
obeyed not the word:

Revelation given at Fayette, New York. January, 1831.
1. Behold, verily I say unto you, that the heart of my servant
James Covill was right before me, for he covenanted with me that
he would obey my word,

2. And he received the word with gladness, but straightway
Satan tempted him, and the fear of persecution and
the cares of the world caused him to reject the word.

3. Wherefore he broke my covenant, and it remaineth with me to do
with him as seemeth me good. Amen.

Luke 12:47-48
47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not
[himself,] neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with
many [stripes].

48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes,
shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For unto whomsoever much is
given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed
much, of him they will ask the more.

Doctrine and Covenants 82:3-4
3 For of him unto whom much is given much is required; and
he who sins against the greater light shall receive
the greater condemnation.

4 Ye call upon my name for revelations, and I give them unto you; and
inasmuch as ye keep not my sayings, which I give unto you,
ye become transgressors; and justice and judgment
are the penalty which is affixed unto my law.

Wherefore, Signey Rigdon (unto whom was given, along with Joseph,
a vision of the three degrees of glory), not James Covill,
sinned against the greater light, for he eventually apostatized from
the pure faith in Christ.

14 But, behold, my beloved brethren, thus came the voice of the Son
unto me, saying:
After ye have repented of your sins, and witnessed unto the Father
that ye are willing to keep my commandments, by the baptism of water,
and have received the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost, and can
speak with a new tongue, yea, even with the tongue of angels, and
after this should deny me, it would have been better for you
that ye had not known me.

15 And I heard a voice from the Father, saying:
Yea, the words of my Beloved are true and faithful.
He that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

16 And now, my beloved brethren, I know by this that unless a man
shall endure to the end, in following the example of the Son of the
living God, he cannot be saved.

17 Wherefore, do the things which I have told you I have seen that
your Lord and your Redeemer should do; for, for this cause have they
been shown unto me, that ye might know the gate by which ye should
enter. For the gate by which ye should enter is repentance and
baptism by water; and then cometh a remission of your sins by fire and
by the Holy Ghost.

18 And then are ye in this strait and narrow path which leads to
eternal life; yea, ye have entered in by the gate; ye have done
according to the commandments of the Father and the Son; and ye have
received the Holy Ghost, which witnesses of the Father and the Son,
unto the fulfilling of the promise which he hath made, that if ye
entered in by the way ye should receive.

19 And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this
strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I say
unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word
of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits
of him who is mighty to save.

20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ,
having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men.
Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of
Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall
have eternal life.

21 And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there
is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved
in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of
Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen.

Erastus Snow, Journal of Discourses 19:327 (Jan. 20, 1878):

We may jocosely ask ourselves the question,
Which was first the goose or the egg?
And again,
Does the pumpkin produce the seed,
or does the seed produce the pumpkin?
You can answer the question just as you please, either
in the affirmative or negative, and either or both would be,
in one sense, correct. But say you,
?That is not enough for us, we want to know
where and how the first pumpkin was produced.?
That is something we cannot tell, nor any other mortal being;
you might just as well ask, when the last pumpkin will be produced.
It is something that is absolutely incomprehensible, because
there is neither beginning nor end, it is beyond the reach
of human ken. But we accept the effect; we are here;
the creation is a reality. We see a variety of solid rocks, and ask,
How are they formed?
Geologists undertake to tell us, and they refer us to the
Book of Nature. But they are like other school-children;
they make a great many mistakes in reading. What they read correctly
is correct; what they read incorrectly is incorrect.
?It is as it is, and it can?t be any tisser.?
And it is folly for geologists, or any other class of scientists,
to assume that they know it all, or that they have read
the Book of Nature from beginning to end, and comprehend it
through and through.

Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth, let him prophesy to the
understanding of men; for the Spirit speaketh the truth and lieth not.
Wherefore, it speaketh of things as they really are, and of things
as they really will be; wherefore, these things are manifested
unto us plainly, for the salvation of our souls. But behold,
we are not witnesses alone in these things; for God also spake them
unto prophets of old.

-The Book of Mormon, Jacob 4:13

Verily, verily, I say unto you, they who believe not on your words,
and are not baptized in water in my name, for the remission of
their sins, that they may receive the Holy Ghost, shall be damned, and
shall not come into my Father's kingdom where my Father and I am.

And this revelation unto you, and commandment, is in force
from this very hour upon all the world, and the gospel is unto
all who have not received it.

-Doctrine and Covenants 84:74-75 ("22nd and 23rd of September," 1832)

And the great and abominable church, which is the whore of
all the earth, shall be cast down by devouring fire, according as
it is spoken by the mouth of Ezekiel the prophet, who spoke of
these things, which have not come to pass but surely must, as I live,
for abominations shall not reign.

And again, verily, verily, I say unto you that when the thousand years
are ended, and men again begin to deny their God, then
will I spare the earth but for a little season;

And the end shall come, and the heaven and the earth shall be consumed
and pass away, and there shall be a new heaven and a new earth.

For all old things shall pass away, and all things shall become new,
even the heaven and the earth, and all the fulness thereof,
both men and beasts, the fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea;

And not one hair, neither mote, shall be lost,
for it is the workmanship of mine hand.

But, behold, verily I say unto you, before the earth shall pass away,
Michael, mine archangel, shall sound his trump, and then shall
all the dead awake, for their graves shall be opened, and
they shall come forth?yea, even all.

-Doctrine and Covenants 29:21-26 (September 1830)

Daniel 12:1-2
1 AND at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince
which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be
a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation [even]
to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered,
every one that shall be found written in the book.

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and]
everlasting contempt.

God does not punish except to save, He never chastens except to
purify. In sweeping the antediluvian races from the earth, it was an
act of mercy to them, that they might not add sin to sin and heap up
iniquity until they could not have been pardoned. He swept them off
when their cup was full, and imprisoned their spirits while their
bodies mouldered in the grave. Jesus, however, while His body was
lying in the tomb, went and preached to the spirits in prison; those
who rejected the message that was offered to them by Noah, and were
swept away by the flood.

-Orson F. Whitney, Journal of Discourses 26:268 (June 21, 1885)

Orson F. Whitney?s words echo the words of Simon Peter, in regard to
the eventual salvation ('baptisms' into telestial kingdom)
of them that hearkened not unto Noah and his three sons:

"It is better (if the will of God be so) that ye suffer for
well doing, than for evil doing. Forasmuch as Christ hath
once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, for to bring us
to God, and was killed, as pertaining to the flesh: but was quickened
in the spirit.

"In which spirit, he also went and preached unto the spirits that were
in prison, which were in time past disobedient, when the longsuffering
of God abode exceeding patiently in the days of Noah, while the ark
was a-preparing, wherein few (that is to say, eight souls) were saved
by water, which signifieth baptism that now saveth us, not the putting
away of the filth of the flesh, but in that a good conscience
consenteth to God, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is our
right hand of God and is gone into heaven, angels, power and might
subdued unto him."

-I Peter, the final verses of chapter 3,
in the 1534 William Tyndale translation from the Greek tongue,
quoted herein due to the 1611 King James Bible being obscure
in this passage.

George Q. Cannon, Collected Discourses, Vol. 5 (Dec. 23, 1894).
The Prophet taught there was hope after death, and that the Gospel of
the Son of God would be declared to those who had never heard it in
life. The work of God is not confined to this mortal state. God is
the God of eternity, and this little space that we call time does not
comprehend all His means of salvation. His salvation is extended to
every human being that is capable of receiving it. The Son of God
Himself, while His body lay in the tomb awaiting its resurrection,
went to the spirits in prison, and preached to those who were
disobedient in the days of Noah. Noah proclaimed the Gospel in his
day, and warned the people that a flood was impending which should
destroy them. But they rejected the message of Noah and persisted in
their wickedness, until they were overwhelmed with the flood. The
Savior went, as stated by Peter, and preached the Gospel to these
spirits. He opened the prison doors and led captivity captive, and He
authorized His servants who had the authority to go and preach
salvation to those who had so long been in darkness and torment, so
that if they would believe in Him as their Savior and repent of their
sins they might receive deliverance. The Prophet Joseph taught all
this, he having received it through the revelations of Jesus Christ to
him. He taught, as I have said, that mankind would be judged
according to the deeds done in the body; that their punishment would
be measured according to the extent of their wickedness, and not be
without limit; that their reward also would be in proportion to their
merits; the murderer, if he repented, not to be brought on a level
with those who had lived lives of purity and who had been mighty in
the earth in accomplishing the work of God, as these false systems of
theology were and are teaching. As a result of the teachings of the
Prophet, the Latter-day Saints comprehend that there are degrees in
the severity and extent of the punishment, as there are degrees in the
measure of reward. Those who receive the Gospel and are faithful in
keeping all the commandments of God will receive the exaltation that
is comprehended in the presence of God and the Lamb. Those who do not
attain to that perfection, who do not keep the commandments of God so
perfectly, will be rewarded according to their merits. And there is
hope even for the lowest human being if he will only repent of his
sins, not only in this life but in the life to come. The Lord
revealed this doctrine to the Prophet Joseph in plainness.

However, as for these the last days, for a great many, and
especially pertaining to the men of connections and privileges, such
as Richard Dawkins and Stephen Hawking and the high officials of the
great and abominable Church based in Utah, even of latter-day Ephraim,
yea, commensurate with the light they had once enjoyed,
it shall be thus:

Isaiah 66:23-24 (the final verses of Isaiah)
23 And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another,
and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship
before me, saith the LORD.

24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men
that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die,
neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be
an abhorring unto all flesh.

Both overt and covert adoptions of Evolution by a man or a woman,
from the least to the greatest, is likened unto committing adultery
in one's own heart, i.e., mentally. Wherefore, as the Savior taught,
By their fruits ye shall know them (for evil or for good), and judged
by God accordingly. You are entitled to live according to your own
conscience and agency, even unto living a false religion, be it
a false science or the Methodist religion or any other 'ism', but in
regard to any system of belief that would lead one to deny
the Divinity of Jesus of Nazareth, who is the Christ of this planet
Earth, if you are persuaded by such a system of belief,
you would do well to not express in any manner such beliefs to your
fellow human beings, but rather, keep them to yourselves, if you
cannot help being mentally titillated by such specious and fallacious
reasonings as Evolution, or 'natural, unaided changes', of any sort.
Whether for good or for evil, "by their fruits ye shall know them."

27 Behold, it is written by them of old time, that
thou shalt not commit adultery;

28 But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman,
to lust after her, hath committed adultery already in his heart.

29 Behold, I give unto you a commandment, that
ye suffer none of these things to enter into your heart;

30 For it is better that ye should deny yourselves of these things,
wherein ye will take up your cross, than that ye should be cast
into hell.

-The Book of Mormon, III Nephi 12:27-30

Alma 30:5-13,58-60
"And it came to pass that in the commencement of the seventeenth year
of the reign of the judges, there was continual peace. But it came to
pass in the latter end of the seventeenth year, there came a man into
the land of Zarahemla, and he was Anti?Christ, for he began to preach
unto the people against the prophecies which had been spoken by the
prophets, concerning the coming of Christ. Now there was no law
against a man's belief; for it was strictly contrary to the commands
of God that there should be a law which should bring men on to unequal
grounds. For thus saith the scripture: Choose ye this day, whom ye
will serve. Now if a man desired to serve God, it was his privilege;
or rather, if he believed in God it was his privilege to serve him;
but if he did not believe in him there was no law to punish him. But
if he murdered he was punished unto death; and if he robbed he was
also punished; and if he stole he was also punished; and if he
committed adultery he was also punished; yea, for all this wickedness
they were punished. For there was a law that men should be judged
according to their crimes. Nevertheless, there was no law against a
man's belief; therefore, a man was punished only for the crimes which
he had done; therefore all men were on equal grounds. And this
Anti?Christ, whose name was Korihor, (and the law could have no hold
upon him) began to preach unto the people that there should be
no Christ. And after this manner did he preach, saying:
O ye that are bound down under a foolish and a vain hope, why do ye
yoke yourselves with such foolish things? Why do ye look for a
Christ? For no man can know of anything which is to come.
(...)
And it came to pass that they were all convinced of the wickedness of
Korihor; therefore they were all converted again unto the Lord;
and this put an end to the iniquity after the manner of Korihor. And
Korihor did go about from house to house, begging food for
his support. And it came to pass that as he went forth among the
people, yea, among a people who had separated themselves from the
Nephites and called themselves Zoramites, being led by a man whose
name was Zoram?and as he went forth amongst them, behold, he was
run upon and trodden down, even until he was dead. And thus we see
the end of him who perverteth the ways of the Lord; and thus we see
that the devil will not support his children at the last day, but doth
speedily drag them down to hell."

Again, I warn you, as the Holy Ghost again moves upon me, that
prominent anti-Christs assuredly will not be resurrected. (Let all
common men and women beware also.) For all such are accounted as
'parricides', for these are genuinely against the will of the Father
and the Son, even unto treading under foot God himself, if he were
under their power -- the Father suffered it to be inflicted upon his
Only Begotten for his own wise purpose. Thus are they
'sons of perdition,' them who persist in evil, even unto denials
and/or blasphemies against the Holy Ghost, against the spiritual,
eternal things of God, for all sons and daughters of perdition
are against the principle of agency, which is freely acting
for oneself without being commanded and acted upon in all things,
for all devils are against the Father's requirement that suffering
in the flesh is necessary for any degree of redemption into the
resurrection from the dead, in the eternities to come. Hence their
sympathy manifested in the days of their mortal probation
for the rejected plan of salvation (of automatons) proposed by
the *original* Lucifer (Lightbringer or Lightbearer, i.e.,
the office of Holy Ghost as the heavenly revelator of
the Father and the Son).

II Nephi 24:12 (cf. KJV Isaiah 14:12)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
Art thou cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations!

"Lucifer", a Latinized designation in English for the chief devil,
means Lightbearer (Lightbringer), and because he fell from grace and
honor, the fourthborn male spirit, who is the spirit of Joseph
the Seer, was ordained to the office of Holy Ghost of this earth.
This truth, I received of the Lord in spring 2009. Amen.
Again, the *original* Lucifer spoken of in Isaiah 14 fell and
appointed the prince, or the chief devil, of this world.

Luke 10:17-22
¶ And the seventy returned again with joy, saying,
Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

And he said unto them,
I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

Doctrine and Covenants 29:35-39
35 Behold, I gave unto him {Adam} that he should be
an agent unto himself; and I gave unto him commandment, but
no temporal commandment gave I unto him, for my commandments
are spiritual; they are not natural nor temporal,
neither carnal nor sensual.

36 And it came to pass that Adam, being tempted of the devil?
for, behold, the devil was before Adam {was placed on earth},
for he rebelled against me, saying,
Give me thine honor,
which is my power; and also a third part of the hosts of heaven
turned he away from me because of their agency;

37 And they were thrust down, and thus came the devil and his angels;

38 And, behold, there is a place prepared for them
from the beginning, which place is hell.

39 And it must needs be that the devil should tempt
the children of men, or they could not be agents unto themselves;
for if they never should have bitter they could not know the sweet?

William W. Phelps:

No wonder that Lucifer, son of the morning, the next heir
to Jesus Christ, our eldest brother, should fight so hard against
his brethren; he lost the glory, the honor, power, and dominion
of a God: and the knowledge, spirit, authority and
keys of the priesthood of the son of God!

-Times and Seasons, Vol. 5, pg. 758 (Jan. 1, 1844 issue)

I John 2:18-22
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that
antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists;
whereby we know that it is the last time.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been
of us, they would [no doubt] have continued with us: but
[they went out,] that they might be made manifest that
they were not all of us.

But ye have an unction from the Holy One {Tyndale: "an ointment of
the Holy Ghost"}, and ye know all things.

I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but
because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?
He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

Doctrine and Covenants 29:27-30
27 And the righteous shall be gathered on my right hand
unto eternal life; and the wicked on my left hand will I be ashamed
to own before the Father;

28 Wherefore I will say unto them?
Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his angels.

29 And now, behold, I say unto you, never at any time have I declared
from mine own mouth that they should return, for where I am they
cannot come, for they have no power.

30 But remember that all my judgments are not given unto men;
and as the words have gone forth out of my mouth even so
shall they be fulfilled, that the first shall be last, and that
the last shall be first in all things whatsoever I have created
by the word of my power, which is the power of my Spirit.

The Revelations of Jesus Christ 23:64-66
64 And he who is a law unto himself, shall die a second time,
if they repent not in the next world.

65 For thy police and thy magistrates and thy thoughts and thy ways
shall not save thee from death and hell.

66 Therefore, repent ye, that when the times of refreshing
shall come from the Lord, thy soul shall be saved, as was David,
for he also transgressed the law.

Heber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses 1:160-1 (Oct. 9, 1852):

Do you not know that the Lord directed the Prophet anciently,
to go down to the potter's house to see a miracle on the wheel?
Suppose the potter takes a lump of clay, and putting it on the wheel,
goes to work to form it into a vessel, and works it out this way, and
that way, and the other way, but the clay is refractory and snappish;
he still trys it, but it will break, and snap, and snarl, and thus
the potter will work it and work it until he is satisfied he cannot
bring it into the shape he wants, and it mars upon the wheel;
he takes his tool, then, and cuts it off the wheel, and throws it
into the mill to be ground over again, until it becomes passive,
(don't you think you will go to hell if you are not passive?)
and after it is ground there so many days, and it becomes passive,
he takes the same lump, and makes of it a vessel unto honor.
Now do you see into that, brethren? I know the potters can.
I tell you, brethren, if you are not passive you will have to go into
that mill, and perhaps have to grind there one thousand years, and
then the Gospel will be offered to you again, and then if you
will not accept of it, and become passive, you will have to go into
the mill again, and thus you will have offers of salvation
from time to time, until all the human family,
except the sons of perdition, are redeemed.

Doctrine and Covenants 76:109-113 (Feb. 16, 1832)
But behold, and lo, we saw the glory and the inhabitants of
the telestial world, that they were as innumerable as the stars
in the firmament of heaven, or as the sand upon the seashore;

And heard the voice of the Lord saying:
These all shall bow the knee, and every tongue shall confess to him
who sits upon the throne forever and ever;

For they shall be judged according to their works, and every man
shall receive according to his own works, his own dominion,
in the mansions which are prepared;

And they shall be servants of the Most High; but
where God and Christ dwell they cannot come, worlds without end.

This is the end of the vision which we saw, which we were
commanded to write while we were yet in the Spirit.

The meaning of Isaiah 49:22 --

I Nephi 22:7-14
7 And it meaneth that the time cometh that after all the house of
Israel have been scattered and confounded, that the Lord God will
raise up a mighty nation among the Gentiles, yea, even upon the face
of this land; and by them shall our seed be scattered.

8 And after our seed is scattered the Lord God will proceed to do
a marvelous work among the Gentiles, which shall be of great worth
unto our seed; wherefore, it is likened unto their being nourished
by the Gentiles and being carried in their arms and upon their
shoulders.

9 And it shall also be of worth unto the Gentiles; and not only
unto the Gentiles but unto all the house of Israel, unto the making
known of the covenants of the Father of heaven unto Abraham, saying:
In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

10 And I would, my brethren, that ye should know that all the
kindreds of the earth cannot be blessed unless he shall make bare
his arm in the eyes of the nations.

11 Wherefore, the Lord God will proceed to make bare his arm
in the eyes of all the nations, in bringing about his covenants and
his gospel unto those who are of the house of Israel.

12 Wherefore, he will bring them again out of captivity, and they
shall be gathered together to the lands of their inheritance; and they
shall be brought out of obscurity and out of darkness; and they shall
know that the Lord is their Savior and their Redeemer,
the Mighty One of Israel.

13 And the blood of that great and abominable church,
which is the whore of all the earth, shall turn upon their own heads;
for they shall war among themselves, and the sword of their own hands
shall fall upon their own heads, and they shall be drunken
with their own blood.

14 And every nation which shall war against thee, O house of Israel,
shall be turned one against another, and they shall fall into the pit
which they digged to ensnare the people of the Lord. And all
that fight against Zion shall be destroyed, and that great whore,
who hath perverted the right ways of the Lord, yea,
that great and abominable church, shall tumble to the dust and
great shall be the fall of it.

II Nephi 28:17-18
17 But behold, if the inhabitants of the earth shall repent of
their wickedness and abominations they shall not be destroyed,
saith the Lord of Hosts.

18 But behold, that great and abominable church,
the whore of all the earth, must tumble to the earth, and
great must be the fall thereof.

Doctrine and Covenants 112:23-26
Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and
gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become
corrupt before my face.

Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth,
a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping,
of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon
all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.

And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth,
saith the Lord;

First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed
to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me
in the midst of my house, saith the Lord.

¶ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make
a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the
day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of
Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband
unto them, saith the LORD:

But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their
inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and
they shall be my people.

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour,
and every man his brother, saying,
Know the LORD:
for they shall all know me,
from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD;
for I will forgive their iniquity, and
I will remember their sin no more.
