Whenever the true message of the cross is abolished, the anger of hypocrites and heretics ceases. . and all things are in peace. This is a sure token that the devil is guarding the entry to the house, and that the PURE doctrine of God's Word has been taken away. The Church then, is in the BEST state when Satan assaileth it on every sideboth with subtle sleights, and outright violence. And likewise, it is in the WORST state when it is most at peace!
The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus.
We come now to the question: what is a priori certain or necessary, respectively in geometry (doctrine of space) or its foundations? Formerly we thought everything; nowadays we think nothing. Already the distance-concept is logically arbitrary; there need be no things that correspond to it, even approximately.
The doctrine of equality!. . . But there is no more venomous poison in existence: for it appears to be preached by justice itself, when it is actually the end of justice. . . "Equality to the equal; inequality to the unequal" that would be true justice speaking: and its corollary, "never make the unequal equal".
It is remarkable that jealousy of individual property in land often goes along with very exaggerated doctrines of tribal or national property in land.
No religious doctrine shall be established by law.
The gospel is not a doctrine of the tongue, but of life.
Men of New England, I hold you to the doctrines of liberty which ye inherit from your Puritan forefathers.
We must not regard what or how the world esteems us, so we have the Word pure, and are certain of our doctrine.
The Manifested Sons of God doctrine teaches that these Sons will be equal to Jesus Christ: immortal, sinless, perfected sons who have partaken of the divine nature. They have every right to be called gods and will be gods
Everyone talks about religious liberty, but no one believes it. So let us be blunt about it: we must use the doctrine of religious liberty to gain independence for Christian schools until we train up a generation of people who know that there is no religious neutrality, no neutral law, no neutral education, and no neutral civil government. Then they will get busy in constructing a Bible-based social, political, and religious order which finally denies the religious liberty of the enemies of God.
He that denies any of the doctrines that Christ has delivered, to be true, denies him to be sent from God, and consequently to be the Messiah; and so ceases to be a Christian.
He that dies a martyr proves that he was not a knave, but by no means that he was not a fool; since the most absurd doctrines are not without such evidence as martyrdom can produce. A martyr, therefore, by the mere act of suffering, can prove nothing but his own faith.
We are not called on to believe this or that doctrine which may be proposed to us till we can do so from honest conviction. But we are called on to trust--to trust ourselves to God, being sure that He will lead us right--to keep close to Him--and to trust the promises which He whispers through our conscience; this we can do, and we ought to do.
We need to learn that truth consists not in correct doctrine, but in correct doctrine plus the inward enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.
The Book of Mormon offers so much that broadens our understandings of the doctrines of salvation. Without it, much of what is taught in other scriptures would not be nearly so plain and precious.
The advocates of literal interpretation have been the most efficacious enemies of those doctrines whose nature they profess to venerate.
The terror in which English capitalists now stand of organized proletarian resistance gives to the naturally protected craft organizations the power to receive the wages they demand. They act as they have been trained to act by capitalist society, which denies the doctrine of the Just Price, which proclaims work to be an evil and the goal of human endeavor to be the avoidance of it; which puts it up as an ideal that individuals should get as much money as they possibly can out of their fellows by any means in their power.
False doctrine does not necessarily make a man a heretic, but an evil heart can make any doctrine heretical.
They know that it is human nature to take up causes whereby a man may oppress his neighbor, no matter how unjustly. . . . Hence they have had no trouble in finding men who would preach the damnability and heresy of the new doctrine from the very pulpit.
