Father? Corianton.
I have somewhat more to say unto
thee than what I said unto thy brother; for thou didst not
give so much heed unto my words as did thy brother, among
the people of the Zoramites. Thou didst go on unto boasting
in thy strength and thy wisdom. Father-- This is not all, my son. Thou didst do that
which was grievous unto me; for thou didst forsake
the ministry, and did go over into the land of
Siron, after the harlot Isabel. "A man of sorrows, and
acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were
our faces from him." She did steal away
the hearts of many; but this was no excuse
for thee, my son. Know ye not that
these things are an abomination in the
sight of the Lord; yea, most abominable
above all sins save it be the shedding
of innocent blood or denying the Holy Ghost? I would to God that
ye had not been guilty of so great a crime.
I would not dwell upon your
crimes, to harrow up your soul, if it were not for your good. But ye cannot hide
your crimes from God; and except ye repent they will
stand as a testimony against you at the last day.
My son, repent and
forsake your sins, and go no more after
the lusts of your eyes, but cross yourself
in all these things; for except ye do
this ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.
Counsel with your brothers;
for thou art in thy youth, and ye stand in need to be
nourished by your brothers. For when the Zoramites
saw your conduct they would not
believe in my words.
Turn to the Lord
with all your mind, might, and strength; that ye
lead away the hearts of no more to do wickedly; but
rather return unto them, and acknowledge your faults and
that wrong which ye have done.
I am so sorry.
I would say somewhat
unto you concerning the coming of Christ.
It is He that surely
shall come to take away the sins of the world. He cometh to
declare glad tidings of salvation unto His people.
