SECRET COMBINATIONS -- I
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
*The Book of Mormon* contains many references to what it calls
|
|
"secret combinations". I take the term to mean, in other words,
|
|
"secret societies", "conspiracies", etc. Here are some excerpts.
|
|
Note that I am not a Mormon and that I neither necessarily agree
|
|
nor disagree with either all or parts of their religious and
|
|
other beliefs. I will say, however, that viewed as an historical
|
|
text, describing events reaching far back in time, *The Book of
|
|
Mormon* is worth looking into.

"And our spirits must have become like unto him, and we
|
|
become devils, angels to a devil, to be shut out from the
|
|
presence of our God, and to remain with the father of lies, in
|
|
misery, like unto himself; yea, to that being who beguiled our
|
|
first parents, who transformeth himself nigh unto an angel of
|
|
light, and stirreth up the children of men unto secret
|
|
combinations of murder and all manner of secret works of
|
|
darkness."

founder of all these things; yea, the founder of murder, and

works of darkness..."

"Yea, it is that same being who put it into the heart of
|
|
Gadianton to still carry on the work of darkness, and of secret
|
|
murder; and he has brought it forth from the beginning of man
|
|
even down to this time."
|
|
"And behold, it is he who is the author of all sin. And
|
|
behold, he doth carry on his works of darkness and secret murder,
|
|
and doth hand down their plots, and their oaths, and their
|
|
covenants, and their plans of awful wickedness, from generation
|
|
to generation according as he can get hold upon the hearts of the
|
|
children of men."

"And they did enter into a covenant one with another, yea,
|
|
even into that covenant which was given by them of old, which
|
|
covenant was given and administered by the devil, to combine
|
|
against all righteousness."
|
|
"Therefore they did combine against the people of the Lord,
|
|
and enter into a covenant to destroy them, and to deliver those
|
|
who were guilty of murder from the grasp of justice, which was
|
|
about to be administered according to the law."
|
|
"And they did set at defiance the law and the rights of their
|
|
country; and they did covenant one with another to destroy the
|
|
governor, and to establish a king over the land, that the land
|
|
should no more be at liberty but should be subject unto kings."

"And it came to pass that thus they did agree with Akish.
|
|
And Akish did administer unto them the oaths which were given by
|
|
them of old who also sought power, which had been handed down
|
|
even from Cain, who was a murderer from the beginning."
|
|
"And they were kept up by the power of the devil to
|
|
administer these oaths unto the people, to keep them in darkness,
|
|
to help such as sought power to gain power, and to murder, and to
|
|
plunder, and to lie, and to commit all manner of wickedness and
|
|
whoredoms."
