Elsie, I said the first 5 books of the Bible were written by Moses who was a polygamist Prophet of God.
You know, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
The same guy who gave us the Ten Commandments where the 7th one says thou shalt not commit adultery.
Is Polygamy adultery or not or do God’s rules not apply to Moses?
ALL: Rad_J cannot prove Moses was married to the any two of his wives simultaneously. It's an argument from silence.
We simply don't know when his earlier wife died. There's no Biblical record of her death...some surmise she died around the time of Numbers 10...but even that is also conjecture built upon silence.
Well, then, if your argument from silence is right -- that Moses married women simultaneously -- then why did he write these two interesting verses? (I expect an answer):
17 He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. (Moses, Deuteronomy 17:17)
And then Leviticus 18:18 is quite interesting in light of Joseph Smith's "marriages" to the Partridge sisters and Koontz sisters:
18 “‘Do not take your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is living." (Moses, Lev. 18:18)
Smith married Eliza and Emily Partridge March 4, 1843; and others say he married Nellie Koontz, Susan Koontz, and Mary Koontz.
So...how do you squirm out of the above verses?
You sure did!
And Mormonism has written; in it's scriptures, in more than one place; that POLYGAMY is to be shunned.
Remembering that Joseph Smith got RID of the errors in the bible (JST), by adding things that allegedly restored it; what say ye to this?
You really think that?
hahahah
