Today of all days, when we have clear evidence of the evils of polygamy, I am shocked that you would still defend it.
POLYGAMY IS OF THE DEVIL.
Jesus so clearly taught against it.

Polygamy is not Child abuse, Child abuse is child abuse.
Polygamy is not the Sexual abuse of Minors, Sexual abuse of Minors is Sexual abuse of Minors.
Words mean things, these "Men" (I use the term loosely) seem to have done much that is reprehensible, and deviant in the sight of God, polygamy is factually not one of those things. I join you in condemning everything that they have done (condemning the sin, not the sinner) that are not in accordance with God's law. We are however discussing what is in accordance with God's law, and Polygamy is clearly not against God's Law.
POLYGAMY IS OF THE DEVIL.
Strongly stated opinion, the facts of the matter however are different, God specifically approved of Polygamy in the OT and never reviled it in the NT, thus, since God does not change he approves of it still.
Jesus so clearly taught against it.
Show me the scripture. I know he taught against the "Serial Polygamy" of divorce and remarriage that is commonly practiced today, but where did he teach against polygamy?
I give you a quote form a "Non Mormon" on polygamy who I believe you will agree has studied "Christina" doctrine to a high degree.
Martin Luther:
"I confess that I cannot forbid a person to marry several wives, for it does not contradict the Scripture. If a man wishes to marry more than one wife he should be asked whether he is satisfied in his conscience that he may do so in accordance with the word of God. In such a case the civil authority has nothing to do in the matter." (De Wette II, 459, ibid., pp. 329-330.)
