That would take a degree in Theology, of which I do not have. How did the Mormons rectify the polygamy issue and separate that from Mormonism. Is it that Brigham Young decided that that no longer was a revelation?
I don’t think it takes a degree in theology. Mohammed was held up as the ultimate archetype of what a muslim should be. As one would expect from the founder of any religion. He was a murderer, a terrorist, a thief, a rapist and a pedophile. How can any muslim condemn those behaviors without condemning their holy prophet? Never mind condemning them they are supposed to emulate Mohammed’s behavior.

Simple. The government made THEM find a way.
But, a very large percentage of Americans still recite the Liberal Shaheed every time that mention Islam: “Islam is a religion of peace, and those who practice terror are not real Muslims.” That statement is our national surrender to these 7th century bandits. From GWB on 9/12 on, this has been our call to surrender.
I believe it is only on hold, not abrogated. Like Muhammad, Smith's visions accommodated his desires, then like the so-called "vision" that changed the law excluding blacks from the Aaronic (unScriptural in the NT) priesthood, then they can come with ways of changing even everlasting covenants.
When man is the supreme autocratic authority then the past only means what they define it as being. They is why Mormonism or any such faith is dangerous to both soul and body. As it can redefine itself and reinvent itself, it can always revert back to a more dangerous form.
And yet this is what the official state "religion" of secularism has become.
Not hardly!
