How different this is from Reorganite philosophy, according to their rule of faith, Jesus should have spoken boldly and openly and should not have withheld anything. Was Jesus "_afraid_ of any revealments?" Paul says he knew a man, whether in the body, or out of the body, he could not tell, "How that he was caught up into paradise, and _heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter_." What made the words unlawful to utter to man? simply because in the hardness of his heart and unbelief, man was not worthy to hear them, he could not endure them. The Book of Mormon is most emphatic on this point that there are "mysteries" that are not to be revealed to the unfaithful. This is from the Prophet Alma: "And now Alma began to expound these things unto him, (Zeezrom), saying, It is given unto many _to know the mysteries_ of God; _nevertheless they are laid under a strict command, that they shall not impart only according to the portion of His word, which He doth grant unto the children of men; according to the heed and diligence which they give unto Him_; and therefore he that will harden his heart, the same receiveth the lesser portion of the word; and he that will not harden his heart, to him is given the greater portion of the word, _until he know them in full_; and they that will harden their hearts, to them is given the _lesser portion_ of the word, _until they know nothing concerning his mysteries_; and then they are taken captive by the devil, and led by his will down to destruction. Now, this is what is meant by the chains of hell." It is because Reorganites have hardened their hearts that they have not received the _greater portion_ of the word, even the mysteries, and therefore they are, through their hard-heartedness and unbelief, captives of the devil and in danger of the chains of hell. If the Lord places His servants under a strict command _not to reveal_ His word, "only according to the portion of His word, which He doth grant unto the children of men, according to the heed and diligence which they give unto Him;" and, therefore, they withhold some of those things from the world that have been revealed unto them does that make them _cowardly_? If so, not only Brigham Young, but Joseph Smith, yes, even the Son of Man Himself would be cowardly. No, the fact that they have refused to do this thing proves them to possess the greatest courage, for it has caused them to face persecutions, even death. We are told that the Book of Mormon contains the fulnesss of the Gospel, yet the greater parts of the teachings of the Savior to that people are not yet revealed, because of the unbelief of the people. This is from III. Nephi, 26th chapter:
