~”You put words into my mouth. I didn’t deny the prophetic calling of Abraham. I said he was a sinner. And he was.

You have a problem with that?”~

Nope. I agree. I don’t agree that he was an adulterer, because he was acting according to the Lord’s commandments; but he was a sinner as all are.

Where the argument falls apart is when you simultaneously use claims of adultery in an attempt to discredit Smith as a prophet.

I don’t attempt to discredit Smith because of his adultery. But I do condemn his attempt at foisting his own lust and polygamy off as a command of God. There never was ANY polygamy commanded by God - you can not find an instance of it anywhere. God NEVER commanded it - and so Smith is a false Prophet, precisely because he said that God commanded it.

(Among other things like his failed prophecies, fraud and lying while claiming God commanded him to lie.)

Read my post #315. Quit trying to blame God for the Abram's wife talking her hubby into having sex w/his maid. There is no "God told Abram to have sex with his maid" language in the Bible. (Joseph made it up)

There's also nothing to indicate (beyond what Joseph made up) that the maid even became his wife.

Just WHO has convinced you of this??

There is no record of such 'commands' being given.
