Same sex marriages are an abomination as are the once-Mormon practice of multiple wives.

Same sex, yes, but multiple wives? Where in the Bible does it say it is an "abomination"? Ironically, you are quoting the Book of Mormon which does indeed call it that, but it was obviously practiced in the Old Testament, and without condemnation.

I called it an abomination...didn't quote the Bible. I know it was practiced. So was divorce. But Jesus did talk about that.
Odd, today we don't have multiple wives, but we do have divorce.

***Same sex, yes, but multiple wives? Where in the Bible does it say it is an “abomination”?****

Deu 17:15 Thou shalt in any wise set [him] king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: [one] from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which [is] not thy brother.

Deu 17:17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

Mat 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

So, according to this, taking a second wife is adultery.

And so many, including Old Testament people have done it.
