I do not know of JS stealing another man’s wife although I know King David did so with Bathsheba.

When you talk of minors in a historical sense things get tricky. For most of history a female was available for marriage at the onset of menstration which is still practiced around the world (around 12trs). So, sleeping with minors has to be taken very much in context of the era.

And the same historical context with procreation. Biblically and in the West, men were hunters, workers, warriors, and were much more likely to die untimely deaths than the women. For procreation in a dangerous unforgiving place, it is necessary for survival to keep the birthrate above the rate of attrition.

And yes, I have seen instances of sisters and very good friends who would love to be wives together in a home with a husband. I mean they were just that close. They were pushing it on me not the other way around. And sex, while it was there, I guess, it was by far not the central issue. It didn’t even come up in the discussion.

If there is one thing to give you it is that polygamy in not just about sex. You need to let that go.

On a case by case basis, as long as everyone is adult and everyone agrees it could work out for the best and be a life affirming life enhancing experience for all involved.

Of course
Pediphilia is wrong
Homosexuality is wrong
Adultery is wrong

Bless your twisted little heart, David murdered Uriah, also; are you going to teach us that murder is permitted because David did it? ... It never occurs to those drwoning in the sludge of an anti-Christian cult that they are being deceived, so they just pass the deceptions along to the world as if repeating The Gospel. BUT, occasionally, one of these drowning victims gets out of the cesspool and finds The Real Gospel of God’s Grace in Christ Jesus. The glow from such a soul is most beautiful.

The question is really quite simple. It can be answered with a one word answer. Do you justify, and or approve of the FACT that Joseph Smith Jr., the founder of Mormon theology ,had sexual relations with minor women in "the historical context" of his era?

In the immortal words of one great philosopher............put up....or shut up.

_______________________________________________

Kid polygamy is ONLY about sex...

Its the sin of adultery, one night stands, dressed up in a fance confusing name in a futile attempt to make it sound like something else...

Polygamy is practiced in the ghettoes just like Joey Smith and Briggie young practiced it in their fancy mansions that the hard earned money of their followers built...

Whether it is Hugh Hefner or Joey Smith jumping from one bed to another, it is still the same evil sin...fornication...adultery..
