Mai pai i keia mau ^hua olelo Translation: [Page 1 of 7] Lahainaluna August 4, 1838 Concerning the Sadducees and Pharisees I came across earlier in that year. �This name, a Sadducee, is just a riddle that I have solved. In the year of the Lord 1835, when coming down to Lahainalalo from Lahainaluna, I came upon some women heading up from the seaward area. They asked, “Have you come from the uplands?” I agreed. They said, “Do you know everything? Did you already graduate up there?” I was befuddled and chuckled, but did not laugh out loud. Another woman said, “Eh! Will your soul be saved?" Another said [Page 2 of letter, on left side of page 2 of 7 of PDF] with laughter, “There is no doubt their souls will be saved; our souls are the ones that will die in the fire.” Another woman said, “Your soul might be the one to die, but my soul will ascend with Kalama to heaven.” The skeptical woman said, “Hey! Your souls would only reach heaven to be laughed at." These things they said were not in anger, but with laughter. They were going up, I was coming down, listening to their banter until my auditory nerves could hear no more, which ended what I heard of this talk. [Page 3 of letter, continued on right side of page 2 of 7 of PDF] I descended, thinking carefully about the nature of their comments. When I thought about it, I realized some were Pharisees and some of them were Sadducees. The ones rejecting God’s offer of salvation of souls during man’s life in heaven are the ones I call Sadducees, because that is how Sadducees think. They deny, [saying there is] no soul, no God, no life of the soul in heaven, no death in the pit of fire, no day of judgment. They deny everything that is to come according what to the Holy Scriptures have said. Matthew 22:23 [Page 3 of 7] As follows.- "On that day, the Sadducees came to him, the ones who said there is no resurrection." Acts 23:6-8. “Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “O people, brothers, I too am a Pharisee, son of a Pharisee. I am being judged because I believe in the resurrection of the dead.” When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. This was because the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, angels, nor spirits, but the Pharisees believe in these things. There are many places that explain [Page 4 of 7] the nature of these two, the nature of the Pharisee and the Sadducee. When I heard the words of those women, I knew some were Sadducees and others were Pharisees. Some of those women were Pharisees because they spoke just as Pharisees do. The Pharisees fulfill everything written in the holy scriptures, everything people say to them. They do what is right in prayer and offerings, but [Page 6 of letter, on left side of page 5 of 7 of PDF] take the houses of widows, and stop doing small wrongs while secretly doing great wrongs. That is how some people who quit tobacco are. They point to the great law of Jehova, quitting tobacco, and courageously quit. The great wrong is over, I have quit tobacco and parted with that evil thing; but, haughtiness, evil desires, impositions, and wrongs of the heart are still their customary actions. �[Page 7 of letter, continued on right side of page 5 of 7 of PDF] They offer a tenth of their mint, dill, and cumin, but abandon the main principles of the law, namely righteousness, love and truth. Look at Matthew 23 and read the chapter, all of you who are smacking the ants, but swallowing the camel! For you are washing the outside of the glass and plate; but, the inside is filled with things that are plundered and bad. [Page 6 of 7] I heard the words of some tobacco smokers. This is what I heard them say. Someone else told me. Some firemen from Lahainalalo were smoking at the fire truck on the far side of Andrews' residence, where the upper and lower waters flow together. Some boys of the college saw those people smoking tobacco. They said, ["]what is the attraction of tobacco?["] They said, [Page 7 of 7] ["]Does tobacco actually taste good? But tobacco does provide many article headings in the Kumu Hawaii, right?["] That is what they said. They were saying, ["]Good thing for tobacco, otherwise Kumu Hawaii would lack for editorials.["] In that respect, they think smoking tobacco is a good thing, something that helps the Kumu Hawaii with its needs.
