Which all good Mormons must engage in or go to hell according to their false prophet


I agree with the false prophet charge but I do not agree with the polygamy view, in fact the book of Mormon forbids a man having more than one wife.

The only thing I find in doctrines and covenants is that the prophet is allowed to have more than one wife.

It is sad that the American people will not vote for an honest man like Reagan any more so the politicians have to either change their views or lie about it and say they are for things they are not to get elected.

It does seem that people will accept sodomite marriage easier than polygamy so I can see your point but I believe the polygamy view comes from a false concept which the Mormons them selves do not understand.

Sodomy is rock bottom so I hardly see where polygamy would even be an issue.

“The only thing I find in doctrines and covenants is that the prophet is allowed to have more than one wife.”

Not just the prophet, anyone in the “priesthood”, which is quite a common office in that church:

D & C 132:

“61 And again, as pertaining to the law of the priesthood—if any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse another, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery for they are given unto him; for he cannot commit adultery with that that belongeth unto him and to no one else.

62 And if he have ten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery, for they belong to him, and they are given unto him; therefore is he justified.”

If a man’s wife disputes his right to take more than one wife? She is damned:

“64 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, if any man have a wife, who holds the keys of this power, and he teaches unto her the law of my priesthood, as pertaining to these things, then shall she believe and administer unto him, or she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord your God; for I will destroy her; for I will magnify my name upon all those who receive and abide in my law.”
