The Bill of Rights

Declaration of
Independence

  

 

1.  And that law of the land which is constitutional, supporting that principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges, belongs to all mankind, and is justifiable before me.  Therefore, I, the Lord, justify you, and your brethren of my church, in befriending that law which is the constitutional law of the land; and as pertaining to law of man, whatsoever is more or less than this cometh of evil.       

D&C 98:5-7

     2.  Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.

2 Cor 3:17

3.  When the wicked rule, the people mourn.                                           
D & C 98:9

     4.    Read all of D&C 123 regarding our responsibilities,
            especially: Therefore, we should waste and ear out our
            lives in bringing to light all the hidden things of
           darkness ((CN: Footnote= Secret Combinations)),
           wherein we know them; and they are truly manifest
           from heaven.  These would then be attended to with
           great earnestness.  Let no man count them as small
           things; for there is much which lieth in futurity,
           pertaining to the saints, which depends upon these
           things.  Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us
           cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then
           may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the
          salvation of God, and for His arm to be revealed. 

          D&C 123:13-17

 

5.       I say unto you that the enemy in the secret chambers seeketh your lives.  Ye hear of wars in far countries, and you say that there will soon be great wars in far countries, but ye know not the hearts of men in your own land.  I tell these things because of your prayers; wherefore, treasure up wisdom in your bosoms, lest the wickedness of men reveal these things unto you by their wickedness, in a manner which shall speak in your ears with a voice louder than that which shall shake the earth; but if ye are prepared ye shall not fear.  And that ye might escape the power of the enemy, and be gathered unto me a righteous people without spot and blameless.                                                                   

      D&C 38:28-31
           

     6.    The Church is warned against the secret combination which shall seek to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries. ((CN: Chapter Heading))

     And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.

     Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.

     Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you, and wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain;

     For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil,. Who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.  Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things.  

Ether 8:22-26    

 

7.       He that does not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with a doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned

D&C 58:29
           

     8.         And for this purpose have I established the
                  Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men
                  whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and
                  redeemed the land by the shedding of blood. 

     Let not that which I have appointed be polluted by    
     mine enemies, by the consent of those who call
     themselves after my name; For this is a very sore
     and grievous sin against me, and against my people,
     in consequence of those things which I have decreed
     and which are soon to befall the nations.

     Jesus Christ - D&C 101:80, 97-98

 

9.      We believe that no government can exist in peace, except
         such laws are framed and held inviolate as will secure to
         each individual the free exercise of conscience, the right
         and control of property, and the protection of life.
