Lets take earthly polygamy off the table completely first of all as the LDS Church now condemns polygamy.

This is true, for the SLC branch.

But has GOD ever condemned it enough to make a CHANGE in your scriptures?

Partially incorrect answer, Elsie, on at least one and maybe two fronts. I'll start with the "maybe" (somebody correct me if I'm wrong): The SLC branch has only condemned polygamy for its current members. I don't believe they've ever condemned it for anybody want their authority.

I mean, the LDS church is hardly in a position to condemn it culture-wide without giving commentary about their own historical leaders.

Secondly, I know I'm not off-base here: LDS don't believe their "historical leaders" merely reside in history, but instead are alive & well & still Polygamously operative in colonies like Kolob & whatever celestial kingdoms exist out there.

I mean, you don't see the LDS church condemning Joseph Smith and Brigham Young & the rest on yonder stars & planets, do you? No. The LDS church is selectively condemnatory. (I mean LDS state officials in Utah don't even crack down on polygamy near its state borders)
