The Jews

Times and Seasons, vol. 4, pp. 220 to 221

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

The following very singular notions of the Jews, with regard to their resurrection, will, no doubt, be read with interest by many of the curious, especially the lovers of Jewish literature. We do not give publicity to it to establish the idea that the Jews believe in the resurrection.-This every intelligent man must concede. The Jews, as a body-those that were considered orthodox, at least-always believed in the resurrection, as the scriptures abundantly testify.-There was a sect in our Savior's day, that did not believe in the resurrection, nor in angels or spirits; but they were very inconsiderable. Their doctrines were considered unpopular and false,

and Paul in his day had nothing to do but to proclaim himself a believer in the resurrection, to obtain a temporary protection from the Pharisees, at least in the time of his difficulty.-ED.
