If there are circumstances outside that persons control that prevent them from receiving all the ordinances of gospel (e.g. being sealed to a faithful spouse) in this life, they will not be denied by God any blessing they were deserving of.
______________________________________________
So even though Joey Smith committede adultery 40+ times and cheated on Emma like a dog
so that Emma was not sealed to a FAITHFUL SPOUSE, she “will not be denied by God any blessing (she was) were deserving of.”...
OK good for Emma..
“circumstances outside that persons control”
we know that Emma did her best to stop Joey Smith from philandering, because he abused her and threatened her life for trying to stop him
D&C 132
So the mormon god will bless Emma...
Its a good thing...
THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SECTION 132
5157, Emma Smith is counseled (commanded) to be faithful and true; 5866, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.
51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.
52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.
53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.
55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of beternal lives in the eternal worlds.
