Sounds like your rewritting the Bible! God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Two of the three (most likely all three) were confirmed polygamists. Isreal was started in polygamy!

Not that I’m trying to defend polygamy, but I get a little tired of you sanctimoniously changing religious history to promote your religious beliefs.

At least the LDS church claims revelation. When your Emperor Constantine decided to change Gods relationship with Jesus Christ and then coerce it on Christianity at the Council of Nicea ... THEY DIDN’T EVEN CLAIM REVELATION.

Of course ... you don’t mind that obvious usurpation by Man of God’s Gospel ..... you just hypocritcally accuse others of doing it when thier interpretations don’t fit yours.

Why don’t you follow Christ and cast out the 2x4 beam in your own eye before trying to get slivers out of mine?

Is that too much to ask? That you actually incorporate the teachings of Jesus Christ instead of castigating others because they don’t believe in your biblical distortions?

lds can claim all they want.

The God of the Bible defined marriage as one man and one woman.

Smith needed to redefine marriage and history so he could continue to bed young girls and other men’s wives.

You miss use Biblical principles referring to the beam.

God has commanded we call out false prophets and teachings - mormonism is false, Smith is false.

mormonism fails in the Face of Almighty God’s Word.

I follow the eternal Christ not a created being who is insufficient to save, which is why lds must work for their salvation -

We are NOT Saved by works but by Grace.

That is kind of how i look at it, Abraham was known as a man of god even in the N.T and like you said this was where the tribes of Israel came from.

The Bible does say that every man should have his own wife and every woman should have her own husband, if that law was to be enforced especially after events such as world war one and world war two, American women would have had to pick out second wives for their husbands.

American women, may we borrow your men, that was the story that came out in the late forties or early fifties.

Due to war there were many times not enough men to go around, so for every woman to have their own husband some one is going to have to share.

So these people who insists on making more out of Gods laws than what he did should consider this.

So what is the latest and greatest from Monson? Hinkley?

Young claimed God revealed to him that Adam was the god to worship - do you deny that?

Sounds like you're Morg skilled at deceiving the unwary!

Monogamy is firmly embedded in the Old Testament teaching regarding God’s plan for marriage. According to Gen. 2:24, “A man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” This clearly stipulates a heterosexual, monogamous relationship as the norm for God’s people.

After the Fall, it took only six generations until monogamy was compromised. Barely after Adam had died, Lamech “took two wives” (Gen. 4:19). During the course of Old Testament history, prominent men such as Abraham, Esau, Jacob, Gideon, David, Solomon, and others practiced polygamy. Nevertheless, the Old Testament never approves of polygamy.

In the New Testament, Jesus upheld the biblical ideal of monogamy. When asked about the permissibility of divorce, Jesus reiterated God’s original plan for marriage as stated in Gen. 2:24. So the New Testament upholds the marriage norm for God’s people across both covenant periods.

False statement. Instead of believing all the mormonic cult tells, please read church history. You will find you’ve. Een lied to repeatedly teppe.
