Child abuse IS illegal and immoral. However, that is separate from the comment made by pby who specifically commented on the prophets' polygamy with teenage girls. Moreover......subjecting teenage girls to polygamy is illegal, immoral, and abusive, just as it is concerning ANY female, if one calls himself a Christian.
However, it has been noticeably absent your condemnation of plural marriage being abusive to women, in addition to the fact that you have yet to condemn the prophets' actions of taking multiple wives, many of whom were but teen girls, and many of whom were ALSO married to other men. Even your latest post excludes POLYGAMY as immoral, although the New Testament clearly states that Christian leaders are to have but ONE WIFE....something you yourself apparently still don't think is immoral and do not condemn; in fact, you still haven't even condemned the polyandrous marriages of the "prophets," which is way beyond "just plural marriage."
Your own words, and silence on these abominations, speak volumes:
1 Timonthy 3:1 Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife...
12 A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well. 13 Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.
Why can't Mormons just answer the specific questions with a direct answer?
Previous threads, and this thread, even in the last several posts, have been rife with examples of Mormon non-answers (and/or silence).
