Wow. Talk about missing the point.

If I did it's because you moved the target a couple of miles away.. The p***age I quoted is the autho***y the followers of Smith use to prove that God commanded polygamy.. You told me that other religions use it as their authority for polygamy, I answered and said that it's only those that follow Smith.. Target hit, even in your insentient desire to move it.. IHS jim

Do you need to see that mormonism teaches polygamy? Oh and BTW I do need to see some evidence that other churches other than those that look to Joseph Smith as their founder that EVER taught polygamy as a tenant of their religion.. This look like a direct hit to anyone other than those that believe the importance of plural marriage in an eternities.. IHS jim

Yes, a direct hit to a strawman.

But you still appear to have missed the entire point completely.

Oh well.

I could make such unqualified statements just as you do.. I could say that your post make completely unsupported and unsupportable claims but what good is that if I neglect to provide evidence of such a statement.. That is why your insistence that what I am saying here is a strawman or that the point was missed.. That last statement I do agree with.. OH WELL... IHS jim

So the Bible nor any of your scriptures can be understood as written. Is that your new position?
