~”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.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

An application of consistency shows that a pattern may exist. It is not definitive proof especially when you are dealing with the Word of God. Because it is all written out in black and white, it should be easier for you to prove your case instead of relying on “an application of consistancy”.

What amazes me is that we have taken Abraham, who the Lord loved, and who loved the Lord, and dragged his good name through the mud. We've realized that he was an adulterer, and therefore a sinner of the most base kind. We've besmirched him and his works.

All this in the name of discrediting Joseph Smith. Why? Because it's impossible to attack Smith as an adulterer due to his practice of polygamy and ignore Abraham's actions.

Well, so what if we destroy the credibility of one of the Bible's most prominent holy men? Smith has just got to go!

Then you HAVE to retract your constant saying that GOD commanded him to do it.

It is false.

Bottom line: When God commands plural marriage, it is not adultery.

But you've shown NO 'command'.<

You've provided EXAMPLES of it; but no COMMAND of it.
