~”I’m sorry to tell you this, but yes Abraham WAS an adulterer. Hagar was his wife’s handmaiden and NOT his wife. That IS the very definition of adultery.”~

Alright, so you deny the prophetic calling of Abraham. Fair enough. Not Biblical, but thanks for the clarification. This is, of course, following the logic that Smith must be discounted as a prophet for what you call adultery.

Consistency is of the utmost here, CC. You cannot say that Joseph Smith must be discounted as a prophet for adultery, say that Abraham was an adulterer, and still be true to the Bible’s teachings regarding Abraham’s divine calling. These three things do not mesh; something has to give.

First of all, she didn't deny Abraham was a prophet/the prophetic calling. That mischaracterization was typically dishonest.

Second, even if Joe Smith didn't touch these wives of other men (and that is something I do not believe because it would make liars out of too many witnesses who knew him well) and only married them while they were married to other men, do you really have no insight into the wrong of breaking marriage vows? Do you really think God would command Abraham to violate the vows he took to Emma, and demand that other women violate the vows they took to their still alive husbands? Are you blind to the lesson taught in the passages regaridng Abimalech and Sarai? Disgusting, simply irrational and disgusting.

You put words into my mouth. I didn’t deny the prophetic calling of Abraham. I said he was a sinner. And he was.

You have a problem with that?
