LDS, do you agree that even though you don't practice polygamy anymore, you still believe it is an eternal gospel principle?

If a Mormon man's wife dies, he may be re-married and "sealed for time and eternity" to another wife. If that wife dies, he may do it again with a third wife, and so on. The man will be sealed to all of these women in the next life, forever. This is polygamy. It is an integral part of Mormonism, even though it is not currently practiced the same way it was in the early days of the church. (i.e. with multple, living wives)

If you read the "Manifesto" that halted the practice, you see that the church only stopped it reluctantly, forced against its will by the US Government, and only to preserve the church from being dismantled. Nowhere in the "Manifesto" does it repeal the doctrine. Mormon scripture "Doctrine & Covenants" (section 132), where the doctrine of polygamy is authorized, has never been repealed.

Mormon prophets and apostles have taught that polygamy is the "norm" in heaven, and that both Jesus and God the Father (separate beings in Mormon theology) are polygamists.

So...hopefully they agree with you. :-)

No I do not. The only reason the church even had plural marriage in Brigham Youngs time was to raise up many children in the church to better greater the numbers of righteous people. It was commanded that it was to be stopped. A man and woman are "sealed" on earth so that them and only them may be together in heaven. I do not believe God would force us in a plural eternal relationship. Marriage between one man and one woman is sacred.

Not from the KJV bible. 1 Corinthians 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. For centuries people have been rewriting God's word to suit their own personal lifestyles. They are not sticking to God's word as He gave it to us when He gave ti to the Holy Men who put it together for us. You cannot change God, but God can change you to live right if you let Him. I am a born again Christian who is not of any man made religion, but Christianity which is the one and only way of life that God set up for all of mankind to live by through the birth, life, teachings, crucifixion, death and resurrection of His son Jesus, thus fulfilling the prophecy of salvation.

one of the hardest mormon doctrines to accept, for me, was Plural Marriage. i compared all doctrines of the LDS church to the bible, and studied for ten years. there are only one or two, maybe 3 verses in the bible, that do agree with eternal marriage. Most "christians" do not even know about two of them and they see the third one and never asociate the verse with the truth.

polygamy and plural marriage are two different coins, not just opposites. polygamy was never ordained by God. just as fornication and sexual immorality are prohibited. .

when one reads the discourse of Orson Hyde or a few others, one realizes that God has in times of the ancients commanded that men take more than one wife. in the case of King David it was about raising righteous seed. especially when in one battle 70 thousand men died.

It is not and I am no longer a Mormon because they would not let me have more than one husband.

I have huge sex drive lol
