Orthodox Christians rally have diminished the role Abraham plays to that of a vulgar and lascivious father of nations, rather than a prophet and patriarch of God.

7 that is a gross misstatement if there ever was one. Orthodox Christians recognize the context of Abraham's time and the covenant that was in place then. If any was vulgar and lascivious it was Joseph Smith who placed into mormon church law the prohibition of polygamy (D&C, 1835) while for at least two years before was polygamous - in violation of god's revealed truth (or so he said in D&C) as well as civil law. And it is the heritage (many would call it "fruit") of Smith that lives on in TX.

You are wrong Zilla. I have heard from many anti Mormons on here calling Abraham a horny pedophile, adulterer, one who couldn't keep in it his pants, etc.

I know he was a prophet of God, and I accept him as such.

I am so glad to know WITHOUT A DOUBT that all that your try to paint Joseph Smith with your tainted brush shows what a misguided mind you have!

Joseph Smith was and is One of the Lord’s prophet and someday you too will know...

Looking forward to that day when it does occur!
