The legends of the bearded white Quetzecoatl are numerous, and have evolved over the centuries.
“The question again: Was Jesus descended from the polygamous
marriage of David and Bathsheeba?”
The answer again: No. Jesus was descended from couples, one
sperm and egg at a time until the Father came upon Mary.
The truth: Jesus has ancestors who practiced polygamy.
I don’t really feel one has to make a outright claim to know when one talks about a faith in a derogatory matter they are not apt to be as objective as they think they are protraying.
I read your remark on going with the LDS for about a year and the same old canards that is always tossed around about the LDS.
I been a convert for 26 years now and if I heard as much of what you heard in one year.
no one talks about subjects as you claim and I am not the only one there are about 60 freepers plus who are LDS all over the US and world and they too when the subject is mention by non LDS wonder where are they hearing these things because we sure are not hearing it.
So most of us reason by deduction.
If you get up grumpy there is no sence in carring on becasue who needs a repeat of yesterdays performance!
Why are you sick, Resty...

I guess the same reason why some folks ask obtuse questions!
BTW why are you pinging Elsie so the antagonist give you some entertainment at someone else’s expense?
You show the example of the kind of Christian according to Tennessee Nana ...
Good clarification. I think the official LDS church should sue them for trademark infringement. Not kidding.
Thanks Sevenbak
Now that's just wack. Jesus is the only begotten Son of the one Almighty God the Father, nurtured in the physical by a virgin.
The ancestors of Joseph, Jesus’ adoptive father, are shown to establish the prophets’ claim that the Messiah would be from the House of David. But Jesus’ (super)natural Father was Almighty God, not Joseph.
Jesus is a descendant of plural marriage as most here on FR in the ancient of day! Study your scriptures!

You know the Mother has DNA from her family line which Jesus also carries now in his DNA!
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST MATTHEW CHAPTER 1
Christ is born of Mary—She conceives by the power of the Holy Ghost—Our Lord is named Jesus.
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
By the same token, it's interesting that they deny the LDS practice polygamy, and here they are on all the polygamy threads defending it. The more they defend it, the more folks are reminded of their own polygamous history. If I were still mormon, I'd stay far away from polygamy in any form.
It's entertaining, to say the least.
Just asking -- is "taken into custody for questioning" the same as an arrest, or having an arrest record? They are trying to find the girl complainant, who is doubtless in fear for her life, and protect the children and possibly other wives taken into underage, incestuous or coerced plural marriages.
It's not like they could just send one social services caseworker to the compound and expect her to straighten it all out.
True, however, the ancestors of Mary as recorded in the Gospel of Luke, include both Abraham and David, both of whom were known to be polygamists.
Therefore, resty's statement was absolutely true.
You say you were LDS once but many time I read your replies and wondered what you really understood in those days!
You make such leaps that we don't like the Bible when it to is another witness to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Seven care to add to this?

greyfoxx39 this is what is annoying you and many others like to speak for us or put words in our mouths.
I have said many times that plural marriage in many ways was a beautiful things.
Because of the caliber of souls who have entered the earth.
Personally I understood Plural marriage would not be with drawn until all of God purpose was completed.
These two ordinance plural marriage and the priesthood being open to all worthy males are most likely the two most dificult and misunderstood manifesto.
Many non members like to blame the LDS as though they had the say, when it was the Lord call and only the Lord knew when mission was completed.
I fine when one is sincere and study the scriptures as well as ponder that many times in the mind's eye will come pure understanding not only that but appreciation in thing work in the scheme of things.
God knows all our hearts and minds and when we as a people are ready to take on more of what he has in store for us.
I think you need to go see your doctor’:)
“True, however, the ancestors of Mary as recorded in the Gospel of Luke, include both Abraham and David, both of whom were known to be polygamists.
“Therefore, resty’s statement was absolutely true.
Would have been, if she’d have said that.
She did not. The very fact that you said you “interpreted”
her statement should give you pause. There was a reason you
had to interpret it.
I asked ...Why are you sick, Resty...

I PINGed Elsie because when you said
“I am glad you are amused I have had this wicked cold for a week now which hit just about every organ in the body...”
Elsie asked you..
“What?
Didn’t one of your LDS hierarchy come by your home and give you a healing???”
So I’ll ask you the same question...
Didn’t one of your LDS hierarchy come by your home and give you a healing???
After all. if Jews can use the words in the Old Testament to get healed ...
and Christians can use the words in the Old Testament and the New Testament to get healed...
the mormons should all be in excellent health with their 3rd testament...
And if not...
Why not ????
PING to # 796

“Give ‘em anouther hundred years!
They will have BIG temples worldwide and be clamoring to get THEIR guy President!”
Those Latter Day Saints are being uncovered more and more now though, this is a big story.
Descended from those who were involved in LDS polygamy until 1932 placemark.
I am not the result of polygamy, but only a product of zygotes from two individuals coming together just like everybody else bump.
