Did you know that MORMONS DON'T PRACTICE POLYGAMY???

The Mormon people are taught that plural marriage is still practiced in heaven and will be practiced in the millennium.

The doctrine of polygamy is still in the Mormon scriptures, Doctrine and Covenants, section 132.

Mormons are instructed not to practice polygamy during this life but the practice will be permitted in "Mormon heaven."

TODAY if a Mormon man outlives his first wife (after having a temple marriage) he can marry again in the temple. This would guarantee him two wives in "Mormon heaven."

LDS Apostle Bruce R. McConkie says ... the Lord frequently did command his ancient saints to practice plural marriage ... the whole history of ancient Israel was one in which plurality of wives was the divinely accepted and approved order of matrimony. Millions of those who entered this order have, in and through it, gained for themselves eternal exaltation in the highest heaven of the celestial world... the Prophet and leading brethren were commanded to enter into the practice, which they did in all virtue and purity of heart ... plural marriage was openly taught and practiced until the year 1890. At that time conditions were such that the Lord by revelation withdrew the command to continue the practice.... Obviously the holy practice will commence again after the Second Coming of the Son of Man and the ushering in of the millennium....

Any who pretend or assume to engage in plural marriage in this day, when the one holding the keys has withdrawn the power by which they are performed, are guilty of gross wickedness. They are living in adultery, have already sold their souls to Satan, and (whether their acts are based on ignorance or lust or both) they will be damned in eternity (Mormon Doctrine, 1958, pp.522-23).

Is it any wonder that many Mormon people are confused over the practice of polygamy? They are taught that Joseph Smith entered polygamy in "virtue and purity of heart," yet they are taught that if they follow his example they are living in "adultery."

John J. Stewart stated: "... the restoration of the Church and Gospel of Jesus Christ, is to prepare for the second coming of the Savior, which is nigh at hand; to help usher in His great millennial reign, when the Gospel in its fulness including plural marriage, will be lived by worthy members of the Church" (Brigham Young and His Wives, p.73).

LDS Apostle Orson Pratt once stated: "Does not everything that is consistent and reasonable, and everything that agrees with the Bible show that plurality of wives must exist after the resurrection? It does ..." (Journal of Discourses, vol. 14, pp.244-45).

Since the Mormon people are taught that polygamy was right in Joseph Smith's time and that it will be practiced in heaven, is it any wonder that many of them are entering into the practice today? As long as the Mormon leaders continue to publish Joseph Smith's revelation on polygamy (Doctrine and Covenants, 132), there will, no doubt, be many people who will enter into the practice. They cannot completely repudiate this revelation, however, without repudiating their doctrine concerning temple marriage as the two doctrines are found in the same revelation.

I can't ask a question w/out sounding like I'm attacking you. I don't necessarily understand why your church claims Jesus appeared to Joseph Smith here in America. What's this about golden plates? Who is this angel Moroni? Did you know an "angel" appeared to Mohommed and supposedly dictated the Koran. Not all angels are good.

Even if Mormons today do not practice polygomy, the church founder did. The Mormons teach that the Bible is not the ultimate authority and is missing certain truths. I've always understood the Mormon religion to be a cult.

i don't get it the two, Jaxon. And Pinetree had basically marginal information in his comments. Mormon adult adult males can basically be sealed to a diverse spouse AFTER the 1st spouse's dying. they are able to't be sealed to a diverse female on a similar time as presently married to a residing spouse. actuality. with a bit of luck Pinetree gets this stunning next time. yet another actuality: The prepare of polygamy interior the early days of the Latter-day Saint church (enable's internet get puzzled with RLDS or FLDS - they are no longer a similar) got here as divine revelation from the Lord. there have been many solid motives in the back of it, of course, with the aid of fact the Lord is all-understanding and smart. The prepare became stopped in 1890, so i do no longer understand why there is lots fuss over it nevertheless. it is not accepted interior the Latter-day Saint church and if everybody is caught to be practising it they are going to be excommunicated. everybody who claims to be a Mormon and practices polygamy isn't a member of the LDS church. yet another actuality: The prepare of polygamy became first observed in biblical situations. enable's see.... Abraham and Moses for starters had diverse better halves. And do you be responsive to why? It became with the aid of divine authority, consequently, the Lord approved it, basically as in Joseph Smith's and Brigham youthful's time. So people who do the ridiculing of the early saints interior the church and polygamy and even have self belief interior the Bible are basically hypocrites. solid question, Jaxon. i do no longer think of human beings will ever enable it bypass, as maximum people who hate Mormons will use something and each thing to objective to destroy the actual gospel and turn human beings far off from it. they are devil's kit and that they do no longer additionally be responsive to it. How unhappy.

I thought that there were fringe groups that still believed in Polygamy. I saw a documentary on it. I'm okay with Polygamy, but some of these folks were inot incest and that is gross. Also, it didn't seem to me that the women knew any better. Like they were afraid to speak up. That is what I didn't like.

As you said yourself, "There are some splinter groups that practice polygamy who claim to be members of the church." The Mormons did practice polygamy until Utah was admitted to the Union and the LDS leadership had to rescind polygamy in order for admission to occur. The church did not clean up their act until forced to do so by the law of the land. As for the splinter groups, it's up to the mother church to clean up its own image, including all her bastard step-children.

Mainstream Mormons. Buuuuut theeerrrre arrrrrre othersssssssss...

my answer has nothing to do with your question ,,I just read your answer to my question and had to respond to you.. I just wanted to know if anyone had the same experience as I did.. and how it affected them.. the word you are looking for that you cant explain on how you felt differnt would that be more of an awareness or enlightement?? everyone that experiences this are different in some ways and the same in others.. i was impressed with what you wrote and how it affected others.. they all seem to be similar in some ways and different in others.. all i know is that my out look and behaviour has changed for the better and seems that way with you as well.. thanks for your honesty and time

To long! I HATE mormons no matter what they do! And I know for a fact that there are mormons who practice paligamy maybe not all of you, and anyone who does that has nothing to say against homosexuals!

I'm a Mormon too--thanks for your statement.

i knew they stopped. I'm not Mormon and i knew that. and i think its wrong for people to say bad things about what Mormons do you use to do. all religions have faults. they are hypocrites.
