Any person who follows any commandment of any person, does not honor God, God’s Kingdom. or His Commandments. If God did not write it/say it (through divine knowledge granted Moses), then of what value shall it serve a man wishing to enter into the Kingdom? None!

Aside from that, it (Old Testament) is old covenant which has passed – it is finished – we are under a new covenant now and washed by the blood of Jesus. There is but one way to the Father, and that is through the Son. And I shall be left wanting for nothing upon entering into the Kingdom.

There will be no flesh to satisfy, the soul having passed, and my Spirit will reside within He who is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. So for what purpose shall I want any wife?

As for myself, I must look at this issue from a point of view that is other than of the flesh.

Interesting concept “Using the Scriptures”. Do you think we can all agree to the meanings or will we need to resort to what the Prophet says?

Maybe we should stop judging ploural marriage off of what Brigham Young says and go back to the scriptures,namely Doctrine and Covenants sect. 132

If a man was a member of the FLDS group and had several wives and then left the FLDS and his wives, would he be allowed to be in full fellowship with LDS?

Ok lets look at it not from the angle of divorce, but from the angle of death. Lets say a mans wife dies and he remarries. He should still be married to both women in the afterlife.

As far as divorced couples, the scriptures tell us:

1 Cor. 7: 10-11
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

Matt. 19: 9
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Remember, no unclean thing can dwell in the presence of God. The SIN of divorce and adultry will be judged by the Almighty.

Question – Suppose a man and a woman marry in the temple and divorce and then the man marries a second woman in the temple and they divorce and then he marries a third woman in the temple. When all four of them are in heaven – Will all three women still be married to the same man assuming none of them remarries? Would this arrangement permit a man in today’s world to make it the celestial kingdom of BY’s time frame? Would he be more worthy than a man who only takes one woman to heaven?

This is just my feelings on Polygamy and a few other topics. I don’t know who is right and who is wrong regarding polygamy. Here is what I do know.
I know that A couple of decades ago women started wearing pants and then voting.
Shortly after that time Big Brother started telling us how to live. What to believe and how to treat and teach our children and what we could teach them.
They came out with womens rights and legalized abortion the taking of life.
Next it became a felony to strike your spouse or your child. If your wife hits you and you hit her back you are guilty of spousal abuse and assault on a female.
If you spank your child then you are guilty of child abuse. Bibles and Christian values were removed from our schools and banned from the institution of learning.
So not only were we not allowed to discipline our children as we saw fit but they weren’t taught the values in school to shape them as good God Fearing adults.
But did they remove sex education or the idea that man came from apes? No that was not removed from the school but was encouraged learning.
This Country is more and more becoming a Country of Total Mind Control. The Politicians lie to us in the news constantly
The rich in this Country get richer and richer on the backs of the poor and working class. They have politicians in their pockets and this country is run by their rules. The average American has little or no voice in this Country of the USA anymore.
If we don’t like a presidential candidte such as Bush then even when he doesn’t get the votes of the people he gets the electoral votes. But they are excellent con men anyway. Good Politicians can talk a kid out of their milk money. They do it all the time.
My point is this Country is going downhill the rights we took for granted are very slowly being removed from us. They are now labeling criminals in our country. Soon they will label every person with a symbol such as 3s on their forehead.
We all of the decent folks in this country need to take a stand and let them know we are finished. You violate or deny us of our rights and you will never work in politics again in this country. We all need to get together as a Nation and say we are thru. Make the changes the common man or woman is looking for, not what you think will get you funding for your campaign or will give you extra pocket money.

As far as BYs comment all I can say is that it wouldn’t be the first time that someone in that position put their judgement in and were wrong. Judas Escatiots behavior was most certainly evil. How would the news of today word a story about Peter’s denying of Christ? These are normal men.

We are promised that if we are faithfull than we will have a “fullness of joy” So much joy that we could not possibly have any more. I don’t know how it will all work out but I do know that it will. Somehow someway the Lord will work it all out.

Nikki, I don’t quite see why polygamy would need to be COMPARED to an alternative lifestyle. It IS an alternative lifestyle.

Well, yeah, if you looked like Hollywood stars, it would be an alternative lifestyle.
