Palesiteni Joseph Fielding Smith

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Palesiteni Siosefa Filitingi Sāmita ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá kiate kitautolú ʻo pehē: “ʻOku ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Fuakava ko ʻení ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau ʻi he māmaní ʻi he kuongá ni. Ko ʻetau tohi ia. Ko e tohi ia ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní. ʻOku mahuʻinga ange ʻi he koulá, ʻoku pehē ʻe he Palōfitá [Siosefa Sāmita] ʻoku totonu ke tau mataʻikoloaʻaki ia ʻo mahulu hake ʻi he ngaahi koloa ʻo e māmaní kotoa” (Doctrines of Salvation, comp.

Ko e Hā ʻOku Mahuʻinga ai Kiate Au hono Ako ʻo e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá mo e Hisitōlia ʻo e Siasí?

“Fakatotolo ʻi he ngaahi fekau ko ʻení, he ʻoku moʻoni mo totonu ia, pea ko e ngaahi kikite mo e ngahi talaʻofa ʻoku ʻi aí, ʻe fakamoʻoniʻi hono kotoa.

“ʻIlonga ha meʻa kuó u lea ʻaki ʻe au ko e ʻEikí, kuó u lea ʻaki ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u tuli tonuhia; pea neongo ʻe mole atu ʻa e ngaahi langí mo e māmaní, ka ʻe ʻikai mole atu ʻa ʻeku leá, ka ʻe fakamoʻoniʻi hono kotoa, neongo pē ko e fai ia ʻi hoku leʻo pē ʻoʻokú pe ʻi he leʻo ʻo ʻeku kau tamaioʻeikí, ʻoku tatau ai pē” (T&F 1:37–38).

Naʻe fakamatala ʻa Palesiteni Kōtoni B. Hingikelī ʻo pehē:

Palesiteni Gordon B. Hinckley

“ʻOku makehe ʻa e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá ʻi heʻetau ngaahi tohi folofolá. Ko e konisitūtone ia ʻo e Siasí. Neongo ʻa e maʻu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kuo tohi pea mo e ngaahi fakamatala ʻi he tohi Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá meí he ngaahi tupuʻanga kehekehe, ka ko e lahi taha ʻo e tohí ko ha fakahā ne ʻomi ʻo fakafou mai ʻi he Palōfita ʻo e kuonga fakakosipeli ko ʻení.

“ʻOku kamata ʻaki pē ʻa e ngaahi fakahaá ni ha folofola mālohi ʻo e ngaahi taumuʻa fakalūkufua ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi hono fakafoki mai ʻo ʻEne ngāue fakaofó ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ki mui ní:

“‘Tokanga mai, ʻa kimoutolu ʻa e kakai ʻo hoku siasí, ʻoku folofola ʻe he leʻo ʻo ia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi ʻolungá, pea ʻoku ʻafio mai ʻa hono fofongá ki he kakai kotoa pē; ʻio, ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou pehē: Tokanga mai ʻa kimoutolu ʻa e kakai mei he mamaʻó; pea mo kimoutolu ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi motu ʻo e tahí, mou fanongo fakataha.

“‘He ko e moʻoni, ʻoku fakaongo atu ʻa e leʻo ʻo e ʻEikí ki he kakai kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻe hao; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mata ʻe taʻe-mamata, pe ha telinga ʻe taʻe-fanongo, pe loto ʻe taʻe-mahuhuhuhu.’ (T&F 1:1–2.)

“ʻOku hanga ʻe he kamataʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ko ʻení ʻo tuku mai ha ngaahi fakamatala fakatokāteline fakaofo moʻoni, ʻa ia ʻoku maʻu tonu meí he vai mapunopuna ʻo e moʻoni taʻengataá. Ko e niʻihi ko e ngaahi fakahā fakahangatonu, ko e fekau ʻa e ʻEikí ki Heʻene palōfitá. Ko e niʻihi ʻoku fakamatala ia ʻi he lea ʻa Siosefa Sāmitá, ʻa ia ko ʻene tohi pe lea ʻaki ʻi hono ueʻi ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní. Naʻe toe kau ʻi heʻene fakamtalá ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe hoko ʻi ha ngaahi tūkunga kehekehe. ʻI heʻetau vakai fakakātoa ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi he tohi ní, ʻoku kau ai ʻa e konga lahi ʻo e ngaahi tokāteline mo e ngaahi founga ngāue ʻa e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní. …

“ʻOku fakaofo ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe ʻoku fakamatala ki ai ʻa e tohí ni. ʻOku kau ai ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni mo e ngaahi founga ʻoku totonu ke puleʻi ʻaki ʻa e Siasí. ʻOku fokotuʻu mai ai ʻa e ngaahi lao makehe mo fakaofo kau ki he moʻui leleí, mo ha ngaahi talaʻofa fakatuʻasino mo fakalaumālie foki. ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻa e fuakava ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeiki taʻengatá ʻi ha founga ʻoku ʻikai toe maʻu ʻi he folofolá. ʻOku fanongonongo ai mo e ngaahi monū mo e ngaahi tāpuaki—ngaahi fakangatangata mo e ngaahi faingamālie—ʻo e nāunau ko ia ʻe tolú, ʻo langa ʻi he fakamatala nounou ko ia ʻa Paula ʻo fekauʻaki mo e nāunau ʻo e laʻaá, māhiná, pea mo e ngaahi fetuʻuú. ʻOku fakamatalaʻi foki ai ʻa e fakatomalá ʻi ha lea mahino mo ongo moʻoni. ʻOku hā ai mo e founga totonu ʻo e papitaisó.
