What ELSE did GOD have to work with other than SINFUL men?
GOD 'chose' a Liar &Deceiver - Jacob - does this mean lying and deception is ok?
GOD 'chose' a MURDERER - Moses - does this mean murder is ok?
GOD 'chose' a PROSTITUTE - Rahab - does this mean prostitution is ok?
GOD 'chose' an Accountant/Treasurer - Judas - does this mean ...
See the pattern here?
Matthew 19:7-9
They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND her AWAY?"
He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way.
"And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.
Exactly. God also chose Joseph Smith as a Prophet who you also consider as a sinful man.
That was my first point that being critical of Joseph Smith for being a polygamist is like the pot calling the kettle black.
As Jesus said, in Matthew 23:37, prophets get rejected by His own people.
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.
God’s chosen people even murdered Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Savior of the world.
