>>The Mormon church drew alot of heat because the children of Cain (Blacks) could not hold the priesthood.
>>Due to this heat, the prophet received a devine revelation saying it was ok for them to hold the priesthood.
>>Just another flip-flop.
I was there (a member), and I remember the revelation. There was no heat that I remember. It was quite a surprise, because there was no “build up” the prophet just said “It is time”.
Without the heat, well you stand exposed, in your logical argument.
>>As far as polygamy is concerned, are you familiar with the Journal of Discourses section 132?
Which volume? There are 26 and many have sections 132, many of the 132’s deal with polygamy (polygamy is discussed a lot in the JOD), can you be more specific? (links are nice, try this one http://journalofdiscourses.org/ Complete text at your disposal.)
>>Your tact leaves alot to be desired. If you plan on being a God one day, you need to work on that.
Tact: “Acute sensitivity to what is proper and appropriate in dealing with others, including the ability to speak or act without offending.” ( http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=tact )
I was not aware that Tact was one of gods attributes; he offends sinners all the time by commanding them to repent. (“A tactful God”, there’s a short story in there somewhere)
That said, I am sorry if my posts offend you, I am merely having fun with words, I assure you I am very likable in person, everybody says so, right after I pay them.
Let me dig. There were lawsuits against the church at the time the "prophet" had his "revelation".

Ahh. A condescending nitpicker you are. You seem like an intelligent person, why did you disregard my point? Polygamy was practiced by JS and the church for many years until it became against the law (mans).
Are you familiar with Helen Mar Kimball? JS took her as his polygamous wife at the tender age of 14.
Helen’s father, Heber C. Kimball, brokered the deal, as well as Joseph’s promise to Helen that this step would virtually guarantee the exaltation of herself and her father’s family in the Celestial Kingdom. Helen concluded that her sacrifice was a small price to "purchase" such a glorious reward.
In practicing polygamy, JS committed adultery 11 times marrying women who were married to other men. Nuff said on that topic.

You learn something new every day. I disagree with the "offending sinners all the time by commanding them to repent". Are you offended by God asking you to repent? I guess he could offend atheists but, why would an atheist be offended by a God he/she doesn't believe exists?

On the contrary. Your posts do not offend me although your "tact" leaves a little to be desired. But, I do like your sense of humor.
