"But who is to decide who truly fears the Lord? The magistrate has no power to enforce religious demands. The laws of the First Table of the Ten Commandments are not regulations for a civil society or a political order. They belong to the realm of religion, not politics."
"It is less hurtful to compel a man to marry someone whom he does not love than to follow a religion in which he does not believe."
"God is too large to be housed under one roof."
"The sovereign power of all civil authority is founded in the consent of the people."
"There is no regularly constituted church of Christ on earth, nor any person qualified to administer any church ordinances; nor can there be until new apostles are sent by the Great Head of the Church for whose coming I am seeking."
