Or it was “out of context”, half truth, blah blah blah
If remarriage after divorce is considered adultery by God, then why isn’t another marriage WHILE STILL MARRIED?
Of course, it’s adultery. You get married. Sex outside of marriage is adultery, so any other *marriage* would also fall into that category.

More mormon “celestial” eternal marriage BS. That what the FLDS believe, too. Their temple ordinances are probably the same as the LDS.
****
Ouch! more uncharitable love inflicted towards the LDS
BTW thank you for the few who could see at least the LDS are not anything like the FLDS.
Your comments met a lot toward goodwill and healing.
Well that info came directly from the King of translation.
More examples of FLDerangement Syndrome.
From the SLTrib comments section.
Note the “I am not a member of the LDS church.” Probably FLDS.
I am not a member of the LDS church. I have never been a member of the LDS church. I come from a long line of evangelicals...as previously mentioned, my grandfather was a preacher for over 60 years (the last 40 of those years he pastored his own large church).
I have read the Bible cover to cover about 25 times or so in my life. I’ve read the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price and Doctrine and Covenants cover to cover once and have and continue to do numerous spot studies of Mormon literature (I’ve also read the Koran cover to cover once ). I just don’t think, I *know* that Joseph Smith was and is a prophet.
It disturbs me to see people irresponsibly throwing out false charges about people, especially righteous people.
One such false charge was that all Joseph Smith did was marry teenage girls. This is demonstrably false.
Simply go to
http://www.wivesofjosephsmith.org
and you will see that about 40% of all of his wives were IN EXCESS OF 30 YEARS OF AGE at the time of their marriage to Joseph Smith. About 10% of his wives were 50 years of age OR OLDER (the oldest was 58). The breakdown of their ages were thusly:
22

37

Joseph Smith was born in 1805 and was martyred in 1844. I don’t think he had quite turned 39 before he was murdered in cold blood by a vigilante crowd (my guess is that crowd was mainly composed of ‘good’ Baptists and Methodists and the like...you know, religious types like the posters here who have been the tool of the Devil since the time of Cain, son of Perdition). So many of Joseph’s wives were as much as 20 years (or MORE) OLDER than him....righteous polygyny is about raising up Righteous Seed, it’s about spiritual and emotional love and intimacy, and yes, it’s about sex. But it’s not all about sex (not for the Righteous).
It’s only all about sex for the Devilish worldly people. And I’m referring to THEIR private “monogamous” lives.
But the ignorant will continue to spew their ignorance...
So, you believe that God has a covenant with the Muslims?
Do you accept Ishael as Abraham's legitimate heir?
What the Lord has with his people is that up to us to contend?
There is one covenant for the Children of Israel and another covenant for the Children of Ishmael.
LOL, show me some of the "charitable love" in your posts to me. As a matter of fact, I do NOT have any kind of love for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, NOR for the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Doctrine & Covenants, section 132.
http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/132
To the LDS Church Leaders I have one admonition.
HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SECTION 132!!!!
And this post explains the beds in the temple!
There are a couple of Inmans who have charts on the ages of Smith’s wives. I’m sure they will be coming along.
Ya whack the root; the tree'll die...
Matthew 3:10
The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
(Hint: good fruit ISN'T good works!)
ain’t buying it.
I tend to 'understand' it differently.
The official position of the LDS that polygamy is ILLEGAL.
THEREFORE, since they do NOT want to be LAW breakers (they brag about obeying GOD'S laws; too), they go along with this:
1 Corinthians 6:12
"Everything is permissible for me"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"--but I will not be mastered by anything.
For the record, I never even heard any rumors of such a thing in the LDS temple.
All those wives by the tie he was 39?!?!?
My capacity to accept much more of this is being stretched to the limit.
The only regret they’re going to have is not going after this group like this sooner.
LOL. I as sure we will be hearing a lot more stuff from the FLDS that we will find hard to believe.
- The standard doctrine of the Church is monogamy, as it always has been, as indicated in the Book of Mormon (Jacob chapter 2): “Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none. … For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things.”
In other words, the standard of the Lord’s people is monogamy unless the Lord reveals otherwise. Latter-day Saints believe the season the Church practiced polygamy was one of these exceptions.
(Looks like they can't make up their minds even now!!)
“I wish to state categorically that this Church has nothing whatever to do with those practicing polygamy. They are not members of this Church. Most of them have never been members. They are in violation of the civil law. They know they are in violation of the law. They are subject to its penalties. The Church, of course, has no jurisdiction whatever in this matter.
"If any of our members are found to be practicing plural marriage, they are excommunicated, the most serious penalty the Church can impose. Not only are those so involved in direct violation of the civil law, they are in violation of the law of this Church. An article of our faith is binding upon us. It states, 'We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law' (Articles of Faith 1:12).”
they are in violation of the law of this Church...
HELLO!
I'd like to SEE this 'law'!
At various times, the Lord has commanded His people to practice plural marriage. For example, He gave this command to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, and Solomon (Doctrine and Covenants 132:1).
