Brigham Young Quotes About Fathers

Quotes about: Fathers

• If I do not know the will of my Father, and what He requires of me in a certain transaction, if I ask Him to give me wisdom concerning any requirement in my life, or in regard to my own course, or that of my friends, my family, my children, or those that I preside over, and get no answer from Him, and then do the very best that my judgement will teach me, He is bound to own and honor that transaction, and He will do so to all intents and purposes.

  Brigham Young (1856). “Journal of Discourses”, p.205

• Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so.

  Brigham Young

  Father, Men, White Man

  Journal of Discourses, vol. 10, p. 110, 1863.

• The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come into the presence of the Father and the Son; but they cannot reign as kings in glory, because they had blessing offered unto them, and they refused to accept them.

  Brigham Young

  Kings, Father, Son

  Brigham Young (1867). “Journal of Discourses”, p.269

• 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.

  Brigham Young

  Father, Garden, Eden

  Brigham Young (1854). “Journal of Discourses”, p.50

• What a learned idea! Jesus, our elder brother, was begotten in the flesh by the same character that was in the garden of Eden, and who is our Father in Heaven. Now, let all who may hear these doctrines, pause before they make light of them, or treat them with indifference, for they will prove their salvation or damnation

  Brigham Young

  Brother, Jesus, Father

  Brigham Young (1977). “Journal of Discourses”, p.51, Рипол Классик

• When you ... see our Father, you will see a being with whom you have long been acquainted, and He will receive you into His arms, and you will be ready to fall into His embrace and kiss Him. ... You will be so glad and joyful. ... When you are qualified and purified, ... you can endure the glory of eternity.

  Brigham Young

  Father, Fall, Kissing

• While brother Joseph was referring to the provinces of God, I was led to reflect that there is no act, no principle, no power belonging to the Deity that is purely philosophical. The birth of the Saviour was as natural as are the births of our children; it was the result of natural action. He partook of flesh and blood - was begotten of his Father, as we were of our fathers.

  Brigham Young

  Jesus, Brother, Children

• ... I believe the Father came down from heaven, as the apostles said he did, and begat the Saviour of the world; for he is the ONLY-begotten of the Father, which could not be if the Father did not actually beget him in person.... I believe the Father came down in His tabernacle and begat Jesus Christ.

  Brigham Young

  Jesus, Father, Believe

  Brigham Young (1855). “Journal of Discourses”, p.238

• Not a desire, act, wish, or thought does the Holy Ghost indulge in contrary to that which is dictated by the Father

  Brigham Young

  Father, Indulge In, Wish

  Brigham Young (1858). “Journal of Discourses”

• I expect, if I am faithful with yourselves, that I shall see the time with yourselves that we shall know how to prepare to organize an earth like this - know how to people that earth, how to redeem it, how to sanctify it, and how to glorify it, with those who live upon it who will hearken to our counsels. The Father and the Son have attained to this point already; I am on the way and so are you, and every faithful servant of God.

  Brigham Young

  Father, Son, Servant Of God

• We have not yet received our kingdoms, neither will we, until we have finished our work on earth . . . . Then he that has overcome and is found worthy, will be made a king of kings, a lord of lords over his own posterity, or in other words: A father of fathers.

  Brigham Young

  Kings, Father, Earth

• To be damned is to be banished from, or be deprived of living in the presence of the Father and the Son. Who will live with him? They [who] will come up and inherit the highest glory that is prepared for the faithful.

  Brigham Young

  Father, Son, Faithful

  Brigham Young (1867). “Journal of Discourses”, p.271

• He is our Father - the Father of our Spirits, and was once a man in mortal flesh as we are, and is now an exalted being.

  Brigham Young

  Father, Men, Flesh

• The idea that the Lord our God is not a personage of tabernacle is entirely a mistaken notion. He was once a man. Brother Kimball quoted a saying of Joseph the Prophet, that he would not worship a God who had not a Father; and I do not know that he would if be had not a mother; the one would be as absurd as the other. If he had a Father, he was made in his likeness. And if he is our Father we are made after his image and likeness.

  Brigham Young

  Mother, Brother, Father

  Brigham Young (1992). “The Essential Brigham Young”

• Our faith is concentrated in the Son of God, and through him in the Father; and the Holy Ghost is their minister to bring truths to our remembrance, to reveal new truths to us, and teach, guide, and direct the course of every mind, until we become perfected and prepared to go home, where we can see and converse with our Father in Heaven.

  Brigham Young

  Father, Home, Son

  Brigham Young (1858). “Journal of Discourses”

• We must not love the world, nor the things of the world, until the world is sanctified and prepared to be presented to the Father with the Saints upon it; then they will inhabit it for ever and ever.

  Brigham Young

  Father, Saint, World

  Brigham Young (1867). “Journal of Discourses”, p.111

• I never cared but for one thing, and that is, simply to know that I am right before my Father in Heaven. If I am this moment, this day doing the things God requires of my hands, and precisely where my Father in Heaven wants me to be, I care no more about tomorrow than though it would never come.

  Brigham Young

  Father, Hands, Heaven

• The Lord created you and me for the purpose of becoming Gods like Himself; when we have been proved in our present capacity, and been faithful with all things He puts into our possession. We are created, we are born for the express purpose of growing up from the low estate of manhood, to become Gods like unto our Father in heaven. That is the truth about it, just as it is. The Lord has organized mankind for the express purpose of increasing in that intelligence and truth, which is with God, until he is capable of creating worlds on worlds, and becoming Gods, even the sons of God

  Brigham Young

  Growing Up, Father, Son

  Brigham Young (1992). “The Essential Brigham Young”

• Why was Joseph Smith persecuted? Why was he hunted from neighborhood to neighborhood, from city to city, and from State to State, and at last suffered death? Because he received revelations from the Father, from the Son, and was ministered to by holy angels, and published to the world the direct will of the Lord concerning his children on the earth.

  Brigham Young

  Children, Father, Angel

  Journal of Discourses 18:231, September 17, 1876.

• Let me give you a definition in brief. Your endowment is, to receive all those ordinances in the house of the Lord, which are necessary for you, after you have departed this life, to enable you to walk back to the presence of the Father, passing the angels who stand as sentinels, being enabled to give them the key words, the signs and tokens, pertaining to the holy Priesthood, and gain your eternal exaltation in spite of earth and hell

  Brigham Young

  Father, Angel, Keys

• The time has been in Israel under the law of God, the celestial law, or that which pertains to the celestial law, for it is one of the laws of that kingdom where our Father dwells, that if a man was found guilty of adultery, he must have his blood shed, and that is near at hand. But now I say, in the name of the Lord, that if this people will sin no more, but faithfully live their religion, their sins will be forgiven them without taking life

  Brigham Young

  Father, Men, Blood

  Brigham Young (1992). “The Essential Brigham Young”

• How much unbelief exists in the minds of the Latter-day Saints in regard to one particular doctrine which I revealed to them, and which God revealed to me - namely that Adam is our Father and God-.

  Brigham Young

  Father, Mind, Saint

• Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening, called the moon?...when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the most ignorant of their fathers. So it is in regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain. It was made to give light to those who dwell upon it, and to other planets; and so will this earth when it is celestialized

  Brigham Young

  Father, Moon, Thinking

• When the time came that His first-born, the Saviour, should come into the world and take a tabernacle, the Father came Himself and favoured that spirit with a tabernacle instead of letting any other man do it.

  Brigham Young

  Father, Men, World

  Brigham Young (1992). “The Essential Brigham Young”

• Who can justly say aught against Joseph Smith? I was as well acquainted with him, as any man. I do not believe that his father and mother knew him any better than I did. I do not think that a man lives on the earth that knew him any better than I did; and I am bold to say that, Jesus Christ excepted, no better man ever lived or does live upon this earth. I am his witness

  Mother, Jesus, Father
