“Since you ignore facts, once again I will state that plural marriage is illegal as well as banned by the Church. What is your problem with the facts?”

Perhaps you need to look into Mormon history and the reaction to polygamy by the United States Supreme Court.
Again, FACTS are there for you too!

The reason pologamy was “banned” is because Christians didn’t want polygamy in the United States - it is unChristian to Joesph Smith’s chagrin. Joseph Smith and the others are nothing more than false prophets. It’s a “religion” that “evolves”. Hopefully it will “evolve” back to the Bible and away from these “rewritten” versions penned by Mormon false prophets.

Hey, I’m not surprised that a young teen, Smith, hormones racing would WANT polygamy to be “Christian”. I do know what it’s not Christian and as much as you don’t want to hear it - it is part of Mormon history and quietly continuing.

As I also mentioned earlier, polygamy is winked at in Utah and still goes on within the Mormon religion. In fact one was just sent to jail for molesting girls etc.. Deny that too! As always, you maybe believe whatever you wish! You can even believe in the Tooth Fairy - it's okay with me.

The guy that was recently sent to jail was not a Mormon. If you continue to believe he is, then YOU believe in the tooth fairy.

““Since you ignore facts, once again I will state that plural marriage is illegal as well as banned by the Church. What is your problem with the facts?””

Please tell me which of your prophets declared that polygamy was good.

Please tell me which of your prophets declared later, to gain statehood, that all of a sudden polygamy was bad.

Please tell me which of your prophets declared that non-whites couldn’t attain the “priesthood.”

Please tell me which of your prophets in the 1960’s declared that non-whites could attain the “priesthood.”

Please then explain to me which ones were false prophets, since the biblical definition of a prophet is that he never prophesies falsely.

“By their fruits ye shall know them.”

Please tell me why there are some self-declared Mormons even now who claim polygamy is good. They claim they are just following the prophetical declarations of Joseph Smith.
