Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith
Chapter 431
Premium narration
1
President Smith read the 7th Chap. Hebrews and said: Salem is designed for a Hebrew term. It should be Shiloam, which signifies righteousness and peace; as it is, it is nothing--neither Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, nor any other language. I say to all those who are disposed to set up stakes for the Almighty, You will come short of the glory of God.
2
To become a joint heir of the heirship of the Son, one must put away all his false traditions. * * * If I have sinned, I have sinned outwardly; but surely I have contemplated the things of God. Respecting the Melchizedek Priesthood, the sectarians never professed to have it; consequently they never could save any one, and would all be damned together.
3
There was an Episcopal priest who said he had the priesthood of Aaron, but had not the priesthood of Melchizedek: and I bear testimony that I never have found the man who claimed the Priesthood of Melchizedek. The power of the Melchizedek Priesthood is to have the power of "endless lives"; for the everlasting covenant cannot be broken. The law was given under Aaron for the purpose of pouring out judgments and destructions. * * *
