William Smith's Attack on Brigham ("Brig Ham") Young's Priesthood Lineage in February 1850

  

B. YOUNG'S LINEAGE.

 

Josephite Prophet placed his hands upon Brig Ham Young's head and pronounced these words, "you are of the lineage of Cain through the lions of Ham.

 

JUDAS ISCARIOT'S LINEAGE.

 

John 13 ch. 2 v. says, "Judas Iscariot Simon's son." the 12 ch. 4 v. contains precisely The same words, Mark 3 ch. 18 v. calls, "Simon the Canaanite," Mat. 10 ch. 4 v. contains the same words. John 13 ch. 26 v, says "Judas Iscariot the son of Simon." From these quotations it is evident that Judas Iscariot was a Canaanite and our Saviour said "I have chosen you twelve and lo one is a devil." He also describes him as "the son of perdition."

 

A Canaanite apostle then belongs to the class of spiritual beings that transgressed in heaven and became devils. (William Smith in Melchisedek and Aaronic Herald 1, no. 8 [February 1850]: [4])
