I asked you for the quote regarding Abraham and adultery. Your post at #327 doesn’t address that.

~”I asked you for the quote regarding Abraham and adultery.”~

I don’t have that quote, and you know it. What I have provided is significant Biblical precedent for the practice.

Bottom line: When God commands plural marriage, it is not adultery. Examples amongst the Israelites demonstrate this concept.

Because we believe that God commanded plural marriage among the early LDS Church, it is not inconsistent for us to discount it as a disqualification of its leaders as prophets of God. That may frustrate you, and you may disagree; but it is not illogical or irrational. It is an application of consistency.
