In doing my scripture reading for Sunday School, I was impressed by the following which seems directly applicable to the current Congressional investigation into the Big Lie about the election and the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. See, Doctrine and Covenants Section 134, which is a “declaration of belief regarding governments and laws” of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:

“5 We believe that all men are bound to sustain and uphold the respective governments in which they reside, while protected in their inherent and inalienable rights by the laws of such governments; and that sedition and rebellion are unbecoming every citizen thus protected, and should be punished accordingly; …

“6 We believe that every man should be honored in his station, rulers and magistrates as such, being placed for the protection of the innocent and the punishment of the guilty; and that to the laws all men owe respect and deference, as without them peace and harmony would be supplanted by anarchy and terror; ….”

As Church members we should “liken” these express scriptural teachings to our own understanding of the current political situation.
