BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: Authorities enter Eldorado-area temple (Fundamentalist LDS cult)

Fourth, you claim Joseph was infertile? ROTFLOL! Joseph had nine children by Emma, nine, how many children do you have Godzilla?

This is funny, you claim to be this intellectual giant, yet your Attacks boil down to Derogatory names, calling your opponent a liar, misstating your opponents position, and the questioning of manhood of someone who is dead. Not very impressive, off night?

Now that I have dispatched with your prurient red herrings, back to the Question, do you have any proof that the Bible forbids the practice of polygamy?

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.

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!

BTW, the cult thing has so been done, a Cult is basically anything that is organized enough to have a name, Catholicism, Cult, Methodism, Cult, Pentecostals, cult Baptist, Cult. The pejorative use of this word has been so overdone people don't even know what it means anymore.

HA ha!

You wish!!

Even 9 yo kids know what it is!

jwatz49, just answer me this one question:
Is Jesus God?

Crickets...chirp...chirp!

You guy's are amazing......

You continually pick and choose..what your prophets, founders, and leaders have said.

Here's a few examples...( The bold is mine..)

“The Journal of Discourses deservedly ranks as one of the standard works of the Church, and every rightminded Saint will certainly welcome with joy every Number as it comes forth from the press as an additional reflector of “the light that shines from Zion’s hill.”- George Q. Cannon, Apostle of God

So...sevenbak, how do you explain the following....

“In most cases it appears that the speakers depended almost entirely upon inspiration from the Holy Ghost, and the subjects discussed were intended for the greatest benefit of the Saints.” (Paragraph 2, Preface. Journal of Discourses Index.)

Are you saying this is a lie? Are YOU saying the Holy Ghost...wasn't depended upon when B.Y. spoke? Are you saying your leaders can decide when the Holy Ghost was...OR wasn't inspiring your leaders?

How do you define "almost entirely"?

98% 99% 90% ???

Take the blinders off, FRiend.
