pam Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 What does the federal government have to do with the law of God? Civil law is predicated upon God's law. To quote Rhett Butler, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" what you would expect from me. *hint* Manifesto - 1890 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsAri Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I should have been more clear. I was responding primarily to your statement thatand a slough of other posts concluding, in essence, that the outlawing of polygamy is evidence of divine disapproval of the practice.It's of no consequence. It's outlawed regardless.I find it very interesting that certain people continue to push polygamy down other's throats, knowing full well that it's wrong. The majority oppose it, and are offended by the mere concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemidakota Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Pam is correct. We are still under the Law of Land until the word is given to the Prophet in not following the law or when the righteous of the land takes over on what is left of our government.

ttribe Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 BTW, just for the sake of completeness in disclosure, the 1890 Manifesto (now Official Declaration #1 in our Docrtine & Convenants) was reaffirmed by Joseph F. Smith in 1904 due to some...ahem...continued plural marriages (Plural Marriage - The Encyclopedia of Mormonism). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority oppose it, and are offended by the mere concept. You obviously need to educate yourself about the subject before spouting off about such things. Just because you may be offended by the world's view of polygamy as it is practiced today by people not authorized by God to do so, does not make the concept wrong. Link to comment
