Whitmer stated his religious views in three publications: "[[s:A Proclamation by David Whitmer|A Proclamation]]" published March 24, 1881, "[[s:An Address To Believers in the Book of Mormon|An Address To Believers in the Book of Mormon]]" published April 1887, and "[[s:An Address to All Believers in Christ|An Address to All Believers in Christ]]" also published April 1887.

===Polygamy===
{{blockquote|I do not endorse [[Mormon polygamy|polygamy]] or spiritual wifeism. It is a great evil, shocking to the moral sense, and the more so, because practiced in the name of religion. It is of man and not God, and is especially forbidden in the Book of Mormon itself.<ref name="ReferenceA">[[s:A Proclamation by David Whitmer|A Proclamation]]</ref>}}

===High Priests===
{{blockquote|As to the High Priesthood, Jesus Christ himself is the last Great High Priest, this too after the order of Melchisedec, as I understand the Holy Scriptures.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>}}

===Name change===
{{blockquote|I do not endorse the change of the name of the church, for as the wife takes the name of her husband so should the Church of the Lamb of God, take the name of its head, even Christ himself. It is the Church of Christ.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>}}
