Truth

Image
          The poem below was included in the first edition of the Pearl of Great Price, published in 1851 along aside texts like the book of Abraham and Joseph Smith History. It was written by John Jaques, a convert to the church in England. He wrote it in response to Pilate's question to Jesus in John 18. While not officially canonized, it was put to music and made into a hymn titled " Oh Say, What is truth?" which is still in the hymnbook today.           The most interesting part of the poem is the last stanza, as it answers the question posed at the beginning. Truth is the sum of existence, always existing, never changing. Something as true then as it is now. Truth John Jaques Oh say, what is truth? 'Tis the fairest gem That the riches of worlds can produce, And priceless the value of truth will be when The proud monarch's costliest diadem Is counted but dross and refuse. Yes, say, what is truth? 'Tis the brightest prize...

Anthony W. Ivins "What is a Christian?"

Image
Mainline Christian Churches have always been fighting again the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from its foundation to the present day. They believe that due to the LDS Churches beliefs it cannot be considered a Christian Church. Here is a sermon delivered in April 1926 by Anthony W. Ivins about why the LDS Church is a Christian One. President Anthony W. Ivins I sincerely desire, my brethren and sisters, during the few moments of time that I may occupy, that I may have the benefit of your faith, exercised in my behalf. I appreciate fully the responsibility which I assume, as I stand here professing to teach the doctrines of our Lord, Jesus Christ. The Advice of Gamaliel The scripture which I am about to read I have often quoted before, but it appears so appropriate to the subject which I desire briefly to discuss that it will bear repetition. The apostles who had been chosen by our Lord had been imprisoned by those who were opposed to the doctrines which they taught, and ha...

Vision from Joseph Smith III

Image
The LDS church is not the only branch of "Mormonism" in the world and I want to include spiritual writings from other faith traditions within the "Mormon" umbrella and maybe even the occasional non Mormon Christian writings as well.  For my first foray into Mormonism outside the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I wanted to share a vision of Joseph Smith III, the son of Joseph Smith Jr, and leader of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints, now known as the Community of Christ. It is a snippet of a much larger sermon published in the Zions Ensign, a Newpaper run by the RLDS Church.    Vision by President Joseph Smith III   In 1883, Some of you will remember, I had a controversy in writing with L. O. Littlefield in the far west, and some of you thought I had picked up a job that I could not get through with. After I had written the third letter and they had published it in the Logan paper, I was something in doubt, and I made it a matte...
