The position that the Mormons have is that polygamy is wrong because it is against the law. Not that it is a sin in they eyes of God.

They would say that it was God's will for the early Mormon Church to practice polygamy.

So they think it is wrong but they still defend it.

CC, if I am wrong, please correct me!

I can't because I don't know if they're coming or going.

Elsie has posted some passages from the Mormon's Scripture that clearly state that polygamy is prohibited and wrong. The LDS leadership says it's wrong. I don't know how they can justify it. It's more than I can wrap my mind around.

Note the “I am not a member of the LDS church.” Probably FLDS.

I am not a member of the LDS church. I have never been a member of the LDS church. I come from a long line of evangelicals...as previously mentioned, my grandfather was a preacher for over 60 years (the last 40 of those years he pastored his own large church).

I have read the Bible cover to cover about 25 times or so in my life. I’ve read the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price and Doctrine and Covenants cover to cover once and have and continue to do numerous spot studies of Mormon literature (I’ve also read the Koran cover to cover once ). I just don’t think, I *know* that Joseph Smith was and is a prophet.

It disturbs me to see people irresponsibly throwing out false charges about people, especially righteous people.

One such false charge was that all Joseph Smith did was marry teenage girls. This is demonstrably false.

Simply go to

and you will see that about 40% of all of his wives were IN EXCESS OF 30 YEARS OF AGE at the time of their marriage to Joseph Smith. About 10% of his wives were 50 years of age OR OLDER (the oldest was 58). The breakdown of their ages were thusly:

Joseph Smith was born in 1805 and was martyred in 1844. I don’t think he had quite turned 39 before he was murdered in cold blood by a vigilante crowd (my guess is that crowd was mainly composed of ‘good’ Baptists and Methodists and the like...you know, religious types like the posters here who have been the tool of the Devil since the time of Cain, son of Perdition). So many of Joseph’s wives were as much as 20 years (or MORE) OLDER than him....righteous polygyny is about raising up Righteous Seed, it’s about spiritual and emotional love and intimacy, and yes, it’s about sex. But it’s not all about sex (not for the Righteous).

It’s only all about sex for the Devilish worldly people. And I’m referring to THEIR private “monogamous” lives.

But the ignorant will continue to spew their ignorance...
