I learned decades ago that some people simply can't hold two conflicting thoughts in their mind at the same time without needing to invalidate one or the other concepts. I have no interest in entering into a semantical debate with you over what to me is obvious, yet to you seems incomprehensible. God can most certainly forbid me from choosing to kill, yet still reserve the righteous ability to command it when He requires. That's His prerogative, not mine. - I have no idea what game you are hoping to begin with your question about marriage, but I don't come to this site for pointless debate. If you want to debate me on Quora I'll indulge you there. This is a moderated site where polite discussion is encouraged. Your style seems intentionally confrontational, and while I don't shy away from such discussions, this site does not encourage such behavior. You can find me there as Joseph Perez. Bring your A game, poor debate skills are usually creamed there.

Your assumption of my ignorance of scripture is a heck of an assumption, based on your hopefull imagination I presume. Most intelligent people can hold two conflicting ideas in their mind at the same time. That conflict doesn't cause either concept to be false. God does not reveal new truth that causes previous scripture to be false. Additional information and clarification does not falsify existing truth - You simplistic example of "thou shalt not kill" is a perfect example. I am prohibited from killing, that is a scriptural truth. The fact that God can command what I may not does not make the command to me false.

Yes, it is a belief among Mormons, one I share strongly. The evidence for it is revelation given to Eliza Snow and confirmed by the prophet, if I remember correctly. - What is this evidence you are talking of a Jewish artifact mentioning God's wife?

How can God reveal a different truth than scripture. I tried to reason out your point but that makes no sense to me. Can you please clarify?

Hi, I'm hoping to make some good online contacts. I've become inactive since moving and joining a new ward five months ago. Obviously things haven't gone well for me there. I understand attending meetings is a duty, but it's really become a disagreeable chore. I hope to reinvigorate my interest through discussing the gospel here.
