I would appreciate if you could present a link whereby it states that it was not the act itself, but the fact that it was done without sanction of God, which made it abominable.
Further, explain away this passage if you will.
Jacob 2:27 “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.”
Seems pretty straightforward.. “not any man”.. not “only men who are sanctioned”.
Many like to quote Jacob 2:27 yet they ignore verse 30.
Jacob 2
27 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;
28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
29 Wherefore, this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
30 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.
So unless the Lord employ this ordinance it is forbidden to take upon one self!
Seems pretty straightforward.. “not any man”.. not “only men who are sanctioned”.
That FLDS Fake-LDS was never given the ordinance! That rogue organization had one purpose to do ungodly thing there is no histroy of them helping to build up the Lord Kingdom on earth
I am reading from the Helen Mar Kimball account from her family experience and letters and other thing tell what the real LDS did it is nothing what others are saying here many were very poor but continue to go on mission and were very sick most of their lives as the struggled the opposition and other earthly foe who worked against them.
It people have the patience to read those accounts they will see nothing of the kind of imagining some are having was able to take place people were too busy with the Lord's work and sickness and able to build up the Kingdom.
