JOSEPH SMITH and LDS
Posted : 27 Mar, 2026 08:49 AM

I think that Joseph Smith was a man of the flesh who created a new religion off an old religion and Brigham Young being a man of the flesh welcomed following that religion and adding to it.

Plainly, I believe that both were FALSE TEACHERS. Were they wrong in everything they taught? No.

They were both right that polygyny or PLURAL MARRIAGE is in the Bible. But they were wrong about it.

Was David's sin having more than one wife or having someone else's wife?

2 Samuel 12:8-9, God said to David, "I gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more. Why did you despise the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites."

Like David, Joseph Smith did not sin in having more than one wife. But he did sin in having other men's wives. It is in LDS history that Joseph Smith had other men's wives. That is adultery. Joseph Smith was going by the flesh and not by Bible teachings when advancing his New Religion that he created. He little knew the Bible than created a New Religion out from an Old Religion. When he saw opportunity to gratify the flesh, he did without sticking to the scripture, he took something from the Bible and polluted it. In the Bible, a man is not to have another man's wife, and Joseph Smith took a few women that were other men's wives. He did this while the woman's husband was still alive as David had done in the matter of Bathsheba. Something that God is against. While the Mormon church is right that polygyny is in the Bible, they were wrong in how they went about it. The foundation of Mormonism is false teachings and false prophets. That is obvious to the rest of Christendom. Yet, all of Christendom parts from the Bible and goes further and further away from the Bible all of the time.

That said, is polygyny wrong? Or just wrong the way the Mormons taught it?

IS PLURAL MARRIAGE WRONG? Or just wrong the way that the Mormons taught it?
