Levi H. Dowling

“ And Jesus said, You sons of men, do you imagine that you own the powers of God?
35. And do you think that all the world must wait for you to do the works of God?
36. God is not man that he should have a special care for any man, and give him special gifts.
37. Forbid not any man to do the works of God.
38. There is no man who can pronounce the sacred Word, and in the name of Christ restore the sick, and cast the unclean spirits out, who is not child of God.
39. The man of whom you speak is one with us. Whoever gathers in the grain of heaven is one with us. ”

“ Now, if your hands cause you to sin, you better cut them off; for it is better far to have no hands and not be guilty in the sight of God and men, than to be perfect in your form and lose your soul.
20. And if your feet should cause offence, you better cut them off; for it is better far to enter into life without your feet than fall beneath the curse. ”
