If a Mormon tells you the LDS church does not practice polygamy, ask what their scriptures teach and prophets have taught about polygamy. Also ask them what LDS prophets teach about the existence of polygamy in the celestial kingdom.
I didn’t see plural men or plural wives in those two passages? (Did you?...You able to discern non-existent specific numbers in other passages)
I didn’t see four-becomes-one as an option available in those two passages. Do you?
And if in marriage, two becomes one FLESH, you’re not going to seriously suggest, are you, that another woman or women plural figuring into that becomes part of that overall ONE FLESH...are you?
Are you claiming that “sister wives” become one flesh? (And what would then be the difference between that and two or three or four lesbian women claiming they are “one flesh” coupled with an occasional guy who helps them get pregnant for sheer parenting purposes?)
So. Tell us why Gen. 2:24 and Matt. 19:5-6 don’t militate vs. polygamy.
We talk about things being an abomination that are not even mentioned in the law and then just ignore the everlasting commandment God gave us, it does not make any sense.
If you are not a Mormon, why post here?
(Silly Ravenwolf)
I also noted you didn’t address my Hosea example. So a godly man whose wife is prostituting herself — and the man remains married to the wife — is not an “abomination,” either in God’s eyes because, hey, after all, Hosea is a prophet who gets his own book in the Bible???
We could argue all day about it,and that is why God gave us the ten Commandments, so you can point me or i can point you to the actual commandment, you might point me to the one that says thou shall not commit adultry or i have a feeling i might point you to the one that says Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
It was not a restricted thread, and I made the coment that I had far less problems with polygamy than homosexuality.
Ye shall know the Truth, and the TRUTH shall make you Free. But first, It will piss off a lot of people!
Id rather be slapped in the face with the truth, than kissed with a lie!
True!
There's ample evidence of that.
Id rather be slapped in the face with the truth, than kissed with a lie!
Unless one is complicit in perpetrating the lie, which many are...
