So let me get this straight, if I can...
God condemns polygamy....
The LDS leadership condemns polygamy....
The Book of Mormon condemns polygamy....
The Mormons on this board support polygamy and use examples of others sins to justify what God and their leaders and their Scripture have condemned.
Sorry, still can’t get it straight. Something is eluding me here. Aren’t they a bit out of touch with their beliefs?
Or perhaps they’re really members of the FLDS and it’s related sects?
“Or perhaps they’re really members of the FLDS and it’s related sects?”
I have wondered that, personally. I do not recall them declaring themselves one way or other, but I may have just missed it.
Does the official LDS Church sanction polygamy or forbid it? I would like a clear answer, since so many mormons on here seem to be defending the practice it is a bit confusing.
I believe it all comes down to this:
If the LDS crowd admits that Joseph Smith's sexual encounters with his 27 (some sources say it was as high as 60) "wives" was sinful, tragic , and immoral behavior - then his whole "prophet" halo is stripped away and they have to ask themselves some very hard questions.
