None here have learn nor know of the higher law ...

There you go AGAIN!

Doing your little mind READING act!

And just what rule of MORMONism is this HIGHER law?

...some population control that would be!

2 Nephi 3:12 Wherefore, the fruit of thy loins write; and the fruit of thy loins of Judah shall write; and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins of Judah, shall grow together,

2 Nephi 3:18 And the Lord said unto me also: I will raise up unto the fruit of thy loins; and I will make for him a spokesman. And I, behold, I will give unto him that he shall write the writing of the fruit of thy loins, unto the fruit of thy loins; and the spokesman of thy loins shall declare it.

Joseph Smith Translation Gen. 50: 27 Thus saith the Lord God of my fathers unto me, A choice seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins, and he shall be esteemed highly among the fruit of thy loins; and unto him will I give commandment that he shall do a work for the fruit of thy loins, his brethren.

Joseph Smith Translation Gen. 50: 31 Wherefore the fruit of thy loins shall write, and the fruit of thy loins of Judah shall write; and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins of Judah, shall grow together

THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

SECTION 132

51–57, Emma Smith is counseled (commanded) to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.

51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to ^aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.

52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, ^areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.

53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been ^afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.

54 And I command mine handmaid, Emma Smith, to abide and ^acleave unto my servant Joseph, and to none else. But if she will not abide this commandment she shall be ^bdestroyed, saith the Lord; for I am the Lord thy God, and will destroy her if she abide not in my law.

55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ^ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of ^beternal lives in the eternal worlds.

56 And again, verily I say, let mine handmaid ^aforgive my servant Joseph his trespasses; and then shall she be forgiven her trespasses, wherein she has trespassed against me; and I, the Lord thy God, will bless her, and multiply her, and make her heart to ^brejoice.

Whatever HAPPENED to Emma???

Eliza was a devout Mormon. At age 38, she became Joseph Smith's 14th plural wife (in addition to Smith's lawful wife, Emma). In 1842, after learning Eliza was pregnant, Emma Smith beat Eliza with a broomstick and knocked her down a flight of stairs, causing Eliza to miscarry Smith's baby.

Wow!!

I guess ol' Emma got VAPORIZED by GOD!!!

We know that multiply him thing sure didn't work out!

And you weren’t billed monthly and you were required to pony up to enjoy a full Church service...

The ABOVE is an example of MORMON population control!!

Now, unless mormons are demanding 100% tithing, this passage has nothing to do with tithing.

Coming soon to a mall near you....

Pleasee go preach to the free lunch revile

The only part of that statement that makes any sense is "free lunch"...it appears that mormons believe that if one doesn't pay the coerced tithing in the required amount of 10% to the mormon church, one is looking for a "free lunch"...just another "I'm superior" idea by members of the corporation claiming to be a church that is led by businessmen rather than theologians.

So much for helping “the least of these.”
lds really do not understand ‘tithes’.
Ok, they don’t understand the Bible at all.

Maybe those versus are some of the “not translated correctly”, we keep hearing about.

None here have learn nor know of the higher law but the level in which those living today are still living under the lesser law and are not subject to the higher law or many would have given up the ghost long ago...

"None here have learn nor know of the higher law...and just WHO does "know of this "higher law"???

This statement appears to be a....

Elsie, do we need another revision here?

All rights liable to be abused.

Mind reading again?

.... you sound much like the antis who murmur about the capitalist because they hates big oil!

But do the anti capitalist hate big oil I say they covet big oil like they did to GM and a few others they have up their sleaves such Wall Stree and banks etc..

Well, R you win the Sunday morning cupie doll for nonsensical blather.
What are you talking about?
Your statement makes no sense. zero, zippo, nada, nothingness..........

The only part of that statement that makes any sense is “free lunch”...it appears that mormons believe that if one doesn’t pay the coerced tithing in the required amount of 10% to the mormon church, one is looking for a “free lunch”.
_____________________________________

That “free lunch” part reminds me about the mormon leaders and their families that used to look down from the Penthouse at the top of the SLC morg building and poiunt and sneer at the peon mormon followers eating their sandwiches on the lawns during the mormon conferences...

Up in the Pentehouse the “worthy” were eating steak and lobster, a “free lunch” paid for them by the mormon faithful they were mocking..

Does that still happen ???

Boy, those lds leaders sound a lot like pharisees.

Yes it does doesnt it...

Jesus sat down on the lawn with His followers and ate the same fish sandwiches...

Yes it does doesnt it...

Jesus sat down on the lawn with His followers and ate the same fish sandwiches...

Plus He was the one who paid for lunch..

All 5,00 men and their wives and children...about 15,000

(the same amount that go to mormon conferences)

all had a “free lunch”

God gave it to them..
