ʻOku makehe fēfē nai e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní mei he ngaahi siasi mo e tui fakalotu kehé?
ʻI ha tuʻu ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ʻi he veʻe anovaí ʻi he ʻaho 6 ʻo ʻEpeleli ʻo e 1830, naʻá ne “mātā tonu ʻa hono papitaiso ʻene faʻeé mo e tamaí ki he siasí. Hili ha ngaahi taʻu lahi ʻenau fononga ʻi ha hala kehekehe ʻo fekumi ki he moʻoní, faifai pē kuo nau faaitaha ʻi he tuí. ʻI he tuʻu hake ʻene tamaí mei he vaí, naʻe puke ʻe Siosefa hono nimá ʻo ne taki atu ia ki he matā ʻutoʻutá.
“Naʻá ne fāʻofua hono fofongá ʻi he fatafata ʻene tamaí mo ne tangi, ‘ʻE hoku ʻOtua, kuó u moʻui ʻo mamata ki hono papitaiso ʻeku tamaí ki he siasi moʻoni ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí!’” (Kau Māʻoniʻoní: Ko e Talanoa ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní, vol. 1, Ko e Fuka ʻo e Moʻoní, 1815–1846 [2018], 94)
Hili hono liliu ʻe Siosefa Sāmita e Tohi ʻa Molomoná mo maʻu e mafai lakanga fakataulaʻeikí mei he kau talafekau fakalangí, naʻe fakahinohinoʻi ia ʻe he ʻEikí “ʻaki e Laumālie ʻo e Kikité mo e fakahaá … ke toe fokotuʻu e Siasi [ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí] ʻi heni ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní” (Joseph Smith, in History, circa June 1839–circa 1841 [draft 2], 29, josephsmithpapers.org). ʻI he ʻaho 6 ʻo ʻEpeleli ʻo e 1830, ne fakatahataha mai ha kakai ʻe toko 60 nai ki he ʻapi ʻo Pita Uitemā ko e Lahí ʻi Feieti, Niu ʻIoke ke fakamoʻoni ki he “hopo hake ʻa e Siasi ʻo Kalaisí ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosi ko ʻení” ʻo fakatatau ki “he finangalo mo e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 20:1).
ʻI he ʻaho naʻe fokotuʻu ai e Siasí, naʻe hikinimaʻi ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa Siosefa Sāmita mo ʻŌliva Kautele ko honau ongo taki, maʻu e sākalamēnití, fakamoʻoni ki hono fakanofo ʻo ha kau tangata ki he ngaahi tuʻunga lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, mo mamata ki hono maʻu ʻe kinautolu kuo ʻosi papitaiso kimuʻá e meʻafoaki ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní pea fakamaʻu ko e kau mēmipa ʻo e Siasí.
ʻI he ʻaho ko ʻení, naʻe pehē ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá:
Hili ha taimi fiefia ʻo ʻemau sio tonu mo ongoʻi ʻiate kimautolu ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, ʻa ia naʻe tuku kiate kimautolu ʻo fakafou mai ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá, naʻa mau mātuku ʻi he ʻilo fiefia kuo mau ʻosi hoko takitaha ko e mēmipa ʻo e “Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí,” pea tali kimautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá, kuo fokotuʻu ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi fekau mo e ngaahi fakahā naʻá Ne ʻomi kiate kimautolú. (Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa e Kau Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí: Siosefa Sāmita [2007], 158)
Naʻe fakahinohino mai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻo fakafou ʻi he fakahā ʻa e ʻaho totonu ke toe fokotuʻu ai Hono Siasí ʻi he māmaní (vakai, Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 20, talateu ki he vahé), peá Ne foaki kimui ange e hingoa ʻoku totonu ke ui ʻaki e Siasí.

Ko e hā ha ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻe niʻihi ʻoku folofola mai ai e ʻEikí “ko e siasi moʻoni mo moʻui pē ʻe tahá” ʻeni?
Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Palesiteni Tāleni H. ʻOakesi ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí ʻo pehē:
ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻe he meʻa lalahi ʻe tolu—(1) kakato ʻo e tokāteliné, (2) mālohi ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, mo e (3) fakamoʻoni kia Sīsū Kalaisí—ʻa e ʻuhinga naʻe fakahā ai ʻe he ʻOtuá pea tau lau ʻi heʻetau hoko ko ʻEne kau tamaioʻeiki, ko e Siasi moʻoni mo moʻui pē ʻeni ʻe taha ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní. …

Naʻe toe fakamatalaʻi lahi ange ʻe ʻEletā Tēvita A.

Kuo toe akoʻi foki ʻe Misa Teti R. Kalisitā naʻá ne hoko ko e Palesiteni Lahi ʻo e Lautohi Faka-Sāpaté ʻo pehē:
