On Leading people astray Brigham Young Said:
“I told the (LDS) people that if they would not believe the revelations that God had given,He (The LORD) would suffer the devil to give revelations,
Have I seen this fulfilled? I have.
I told the (LDS) people that as true as God lived, if they (LDS) would NOT have truth, they (LDS) would have error sent unto them and they (LDS) would believe it."
(Brigham Young -Deseret News, June 8, 1873; 2 Thes. 2:10-12)
“I am led, likewise, to preach the things of this world and to accept things that are NOT of God, how easy it would be for me to lead you astray! But I say to you, live so that you will know for yourselves whether I tell the truth or not.” Brigham Young (J.D. 18:248)
"Jesus answered them,
I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth." John 8:37-40
