My point all along has been that Evangelicals ought to look at the plank in their own eyes when it comes to where their beliefs square with those of the early Christians before they judge the Mormons.

So nice of you to be an "advocate" of sorts for the Mormon church.

Joseph Smith's nephew, the sixth "prophet" of the Mormon church, even said:

"Mary was married to Joseph for time. No man could take her for eternity because she belonged to the Father of her divine Son. In the revelation that has come thru Joseph Smith, we learn that it is the eternal purpose of God that man and woman should be joined together by the power of God here on earth for time and eternity" (Joseph F. Smith, Messages of the First Presidency, 4:330)

I'm sure your fellow Roman Catholics appreciate your "hands-off" approach to condemning such certain contentions!

Then isn't it just OBVIOUS that the following is translated INCORRECTLY?

Romans 7:2

For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
