THE JEFFERSONIAN

IHeOlOgy ana nlSCOfy-eSpec1ally IN
it's origin. I have held two public
discussions, several private ones
with the Elders, and have lectured
in various parts Of the State.
would like to give more of my time
to this last feature if some way
could be opened up for it, Should
any of the readers Of The Jeffersonian
feel the need of my service in
debate or lectures, I would gladly
espond-especially if the Mormon
Elders are making any determined
effort in any community. Bear this
in mind and write me when occasion
requires. Now in order that Mrs
Hunnicutt and Mr.. Harvey might
experience a pride and a spiritual
exaltation, will mention some of the
high claims, sublime doctrines and
inspiring practices of their religion.
1. Mormonism teaches that Christ
was a married man. 2. That the
marriage at Canaan Of Galilee was
that of the Savior Himself. 8. That
Christ was a polygamist. f. That
the Savior was the father of several
children. 5. That Jesus was not
begotten by the Holy Spirit, but by
Adam, the first man. 6. That the
Holy Spirit is man, and one of the
Sons of God. 7. That God is a Being
Of flesh and bone, but without any
blood. 8. That God has not always
been God, but that He became God
by degrees. 8. That God was once
a man, and lived on this earth. 10.
That the God they worship is Adam,
the first man of the human family.
II. That Adam was polygamist,
but brought only one Of his wives
with him into the Garden Of Eden.
u. That Adam helped to make and
organize this world. 13. That the
Garden of Eden was located in the
United States in Jackson county, Mo.
IA. Mormonism teaches that no other
church, except their own, has the
divine right to preach, baptize, and
administer the Lords Supper. Is.
That the Mormon church received
this divine authority direct from
heaven through John the Baptist,
who appeared to Joe Smith and
Oliver Cowdery and ordained them
for this purpose. 16. That murder
is an objectionable sin IT. 1t
teaches the doctrine of human blood
atonement. That is, that the only
way to save a man who is about to
apostatize, is to kill him. IS. The
Elders Of the Mormon church all
claim to have been baptized in the
Holy Spirit, and that. therefore they
do not have to think before hand
what they may say in defending their
doctrines and practices. 10. That
the Book Of Mormon is the Stick of
Ephraim, spoken Of by Ezekiel the
prophet. 20. That the Book of Nor
mon is the most correct book on
earth, and that a man can get nearer
to God by living up to its teachings
than by any other book 81. That
it is the keystone of the Mormon
religion. %. That no man can be
saved and reject it. %. That Nor
monism is the everlasting Gospel oil
Christ. "a. That John the Apostle
was promised by the Savior that he
should never die, but should live
until Christ come again in his glory.
rs. That Christ was born at Jerusa-
lem. 26. That God once lived on
this earth just as Christ did, and that
He died as Christ did.
This is not all, but / will stop.
And reader you may rest with perfect
assurance that I have told the truth
in this letter on Wormonism, and
stand ready to pro- all I have said.
Yours truly,
