"God only condemed one. What is your point?"

I think you need to take a closer look at what God the Father said about marriage in Genesis and what Jesus God the Son said about marriage in Matthew. They (Jesus and the Father) are both God and they condemned polygamy!

But if you follow what Mormon leaders have said, then you believe that they are/will become gods. This is obviously false because they contradict Jesus and the Father!

You also need to take a look at what the early Mormons said about marriage and why would they call "fornication and polygamy" a crime?...

"MARRIAGE. v. 4 "Inasmuch as this church of Christ has been reproached with and the crime of fornication, and polygamy; we declare that we believe that one man should have one wife; and one woman, but one husband, except in the case of death, when either is at liberty to marry again." 1835 Doctrine and Covenants, C1, p. 251 (1835)

Take a look at what Brigham Young said about "plurality of wives" and being "damned" just 20 years later, which also contradicts what God said about marriage!

"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned." Journal of Discourses, vol. 3, p. 266 (1855)

The facts speak for themselves and I would check this stuff out if I were you so I wouldn't be misinformed.

I am not mormon nor do I susbscribe to their views nor do I accept mormon books as being scripture. Before you start attacking the messenger about being informed you should check your own knowledge:

Did David have more than one wife before he became King?
How many wives did King David have?
What scripture in either the Old or New Testements bands polygamy? And before you try and streach Deu 17:17 to fit the view of one wife, read verse 16 and apply your logic to that verse and tell me how many horses the king was allowed to have.
What prophet called multiple wives a blessing?
Which of the parables told by Jesus describes a wedding where multiple brides were there to marry the groom?
Why are there specific prohibitions against a woman having mutiple husbands but there is NOT a like prohibition against men having more than one wife?
Why does the Jewish law REQUIRE polygamy under specific circumstances?
Why are so many examples of polygamy presented in the Bible yet there is not a rebuke of a man for having multiple wives (Solomon’s rebuke was for being led astray not for multiple wives).

Your right, the facts do speak for themselves and it is a shame that so many christians slimply adopt the view of others without researching the scriptures for themselves.
