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.

Thank you MHG, for defending me against that false accusation. tantiboh must resort to making up claims now, to defend his weak position. Quite telling isn’t it, that he must put words in my mouth about Abraham. Sheesh, I thought he was one of the better ones.

I should have been more clear. I was not intending to accuse CC directly of such, merely taking the logic to its conclusion.

There are some here that are subscribing to the logic that Smith’s “adultery,” as they define it, invalidates him from being a prophet. My point is to underline the inconsistency in saying such while at the same time lending credibility to the Bible’s claims of Abraham as a prophet and simultaneously saying that Abraham was an adulterer.

I wouldn't quite call it this, but it IS a good example of going off on a tangent.
