| The Way of Christ | The Way of Satan |
| Birth |
| Every child is born under the covenant and thus is an heir to the blessings of the new and everlasting covenant. | Children are born naturally without permission or commission and according to the will of the flesh. |
| Education |
| Children are introduced to the Holy Spirit and through baptism and confirmation are given the right to the constant companionship of the influence. This influence becomes the basis of all the learning, judging, knowing, and doing. | Children are taught the false traditions of men which become the chains of hell to bind their minds. They are taught to despise revelation and to over-value reason and the authority of men. |
| Character |
| The ideal and Christ-like character is sought by submitting one’s self completely to the will of God in the hope and quest of becoming a new creature. | Men are taught to resist perfecting and to assert their independence in self-righteousness. |
| Priesthood |
| The power and authority to act for God to be used only in pure love and by persuasion so far as other people are concerned, maintaining the integrity of every individual. | Use of physical force and psychological and social pressures, denying the integrity of the individual. |
| Marriage |
| A man and a woman are given to each other by the power of god, the union sanctioned through the priesthood authority of God. | People marry and are given in marriage after the manner of the world disregarding the God who alone has the authority to give that right. |
| Children |
| The greatest heritage and opportunity that a couple can have in this world or the next. Children are gratefully welcomed as a gift of God, few or many as the Lord may give. | Children are seen to be the world’s greatest problem (overpopulation). Evil means of preventing children from coming into the world are used, including extinction of life. |
| Profession |
| A righteous man will seek to subdue the earth and to produce a surplus of the necessities of life that he might be generous with others. | Men seek to escape the arduous tasks of producing necessities many times by setting themselves up as authorities and pretending to be a light unto the world for the praise and the glory of it (Priestcraft.) |
| Work |
| A righteous man has a zest for work and delights in making the physical earth a more beautiful and productive place to live. | An unrighteous man loathes work and avoids it whenever possible. |
| Government |
| Righteous people strive for self- government, believing that restraint ought to come from within the individual. | Evil men seek to order society by force and power. The few that set themselves up as leaders and authorities dictate to the remainder of the population. |
| Economy |
| Righteous people seek a free economy where each may labor and grow without artificial restrictions. | Unrighteous men seek to control economy, some for personal profit, others out of philanthropic by short- sighted motives. |
| Church |
| Righteous people see the true church organization as a place to obtain the blessings of God and a place for mutual reinforcement for Saints. | The unrighteous see churches as social organizations which cater to their desires for the promise of salvation in some future life. |
| Recreation |
| A righteous man finds recreation in creation. | An unrighteous man seeks to sate the flesh, being sensual. |
| Independence |
| A righteous man will be out of debt, ready to do the will of Christ in all things. | An unrighteous man may want to be independent of the true God, but doesn’t mind being in debt. |
| Death |
| A welcome release from trial and passage to another field of labor. | A thing feared, to be postponed as long as possible and at all costs. |
