Sinopsis
Excerpt from Why Should I Join the Church?
I wish to try and answer for some of these, if not for all, the question, Why should I join the Church? Let us then take cer tain classes of objectors to this act, and, as far as time will allow, attempt to answer them in order.
First comes one with the Bible in his hand. Show me where I am commanded here to join the Church. Give me chapter and verse. I like challenges of that kind. If a man is sincerely disposed to refer every thing to the Bible, and to stand or fall by that, he will not go very far astray.
I reply then, to him I do not know that there is anywhere in the Bible an express command, thou shalt join the Church. Yet this may be, and the duty be none the less a scriptural one. Some duties the Bible leaves us to infer; and the obligation in such cases is no less stringent than when it is distinctly prescribed.
