“When will we love our neighbor as ourselves?... Will you love your brothers or sisters likewise, when they have committed a sin that cannot be atoned for without the shedding of their blood? Will you love that man or woman well enough to shed their blood? That is what Jesus Christ meant.” - Brigham Young, LDS President, Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, February 8, 1857 Journal of Discourses, Volume 4: Discourse 42 | wasmormon.org

“When our father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him. He helped to make and organize this world. He is Michael, the Archangel, the Ancient of Days! about whom holy men have written and spoken—He is our Father and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do.” - Brigham Young, LDS President, Salt Lake City, March 4, 1852.

“The prophet does not have to say "Thus saith the Lord" to give us scripture. Sometimes there are those who haggle over words. They might say the prophet gave us counsel but that we are not obligated to follow it unless he says it is a commandment... Said Brigham Young, "I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call scripture"” - Ezra Taft Benson, LDS Church President, BYU Devotional, Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet, February 26, 1980 | wasmormon.org
