No one can judge Emma or any other person no matter how much we think we know about them. The Lord spoke to Emma directly in the d&c 132 revelation 4 And I command mine handmaid, Emma Smith, to abide and cleave unto my servant Joseph, and to none else. But if she will not abide this commandment she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord; for I am the Lord thy God, and will destroy her if she abide not in my law D&C 132:54 Although she was against Brigham and polygamy later ,she did accept it for awhile and entered into the covenant so this apples to her as well ; 26 Verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man marry a wife according to my word, and they are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, according to mine appointment, and he or she shall commit any sin or transgression of the new and everlasting covenant whatever, and all manner of blasphemies, and if they commit no murder wherein they shed innocent blood, yet they shall come forth in the first resurrection, and enter into their exaltation; but they shall be destroyed in the flesh, and shall be delivered unto the buffetings of Satan unto the day of redemption, saith the Lord God. Come forth in the first resurrection and enter into her exaltation. No one knows Emma like the Lord knows Emma , following the others to Utah is the least thing .
