>>Wow, a God who changes his mind and, allows man to dictate church policy
>>based on the law (mans).


The articles of Faith (http://scriptures.lds.org/a_of_f/1 ) Pre date the outlawing of polygamy. We are commanded to obey the law of the land. We did not change anything, true the law of the land changed. (Render unto Caesar what is Caesars…) Jesus has always preached living with the current government, his kingdom is not of this world.

You sound like a modern Pharisee (IMHO)

Not to belabor the point, but don't you find it at least a little strange, that today's church wants to carve into stone the laws of the land (that you say changed), that it was so vehemently against in the past?

Rendering unto Caesar is one thing, but actively working with Caesar in another matter. Wouldn't you say?

Allrighty.
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.
As far as polygamy is concerned, are you familiar with the Journal of Discourses section 132?
Your tact leaves alot to be desired. If you plan on being a God one day, you need to work on that.

However, I must digress as this is most certainly not related to the topic. My apologies for that.
I agree with the Mormon church as far as one woman and one man but, for the most part, thats where the agreement stops.

So you are doing everything you can to make sure that legal abortion remains the law of the land, correct?
