Our religion, in common with everything of which God is the Author, is
a system of law and order. He has instituted laws and ordinances for
the government and benefit of the children of men, to see if they would
obey them and prove themselves worthy of eternal life by the law of the
celestial worlds. This holy Priesthood that we talk about is a perfect
system of government. By obedience to these laws we expect to enter the
celestial kingdom and to be exalted. 14:95.
The principles of truth and goodness, and of eternal lives and the
power of God are from eternity to eternity. The principle of falsehood
and wickedness, the power of the Devil and the power of death are also
from eternity to eternity. These two powers have ever existed and
always will exist in all the eternities that are yet to come. 11:234.
_Embraces All Truth_--Our religion measures, weighs, and
circumscribes all the wisdom in the world--all that God has ever
revealed to man. God has revealed all the truth that is now in the
possession of the world, whether it be scientific or religious. The
whole world are under obligation to him for what they know and enjoy;
they are indebted to him for it all, and I acknowledge him in all
things. 8:162.
I want to say to my friends that we believe in all good. If you can
find a truth in heaven, earth or hell, it belongs to our doctrine. We
believe it; it is ours; we claim it. 15:335.
In a word, if "Mormonism" is not my life, I do not know that I have
any. I do not understand anything else, for it embraces everything that
comes within the range of the understanding of man. If it does not
circumscribe everything {3} that is in heaven and on earth, it is not
what it purports to be. 2:123.
Our religion is simply the truth. It is all said in this one
expression--it embraces all truth, wherever found, in all the works of
God and man that are visible or invisible to mortal eye. 10:251.
The Gospel is simple, it is plain.
There is no mystery throughout the whole plan of salvation, only to
those who do not understand. 3:367.
"Mormonism" embraces all truth that is revealed and that is unrevealed,
whether religious, political, scientific, or philosophical. 9:149.
It comprehends all true science known by man, angels, and the gods.
There is one true system and science of life; all else tends to death.
That system emanates from the Fountain of life. 8:70.
True science, true art and true knowledge comprehend all that are in
heaven or on the earth, or in all the eternities. By these all beings
exist, whether they be celestial, terrestial or telestial; or whether
they are from beneath and dwell with the devils among the damned. All
truth is ours. 14:281.
"Where is your code, your particular creed?" says one. It fills
eternity; it is all truth in heaven, on earth or in hell. This is
"Mormonism." It embraces every true science; all true philosophy.
14:280.
