Forever, since this is a discussion forum, it would be ideal if you commented in addition to just posting a YouTube video as your first post. Tell us why you're sharing it. What you thought about the video. Why should we watch it? etc..

Okay. Jeremy is demanding answers from the 15. William Clayton's journals etc. All the speakers at this event were excellent. Whitney Horring was perfect. Every Mormon should hear her and Jeremy. And see the film.

Still unsure why these accounts are termed “accusations”, as if they are a bad thing. There is no higher honour to be found on earth than to be one living the Fullness of the New and Everlasting Covenant.

Hey Luke, Why do you think the new and everlasting covenant is plural marriage? I look at JST Genesis 9 and feel that there is no room for misinterpretation on this matter.

22 And this is mine everlasting covenant, that when thy posterity shall embrace the truth, and look upward, then shall Zion look downward, and all the heavens shall shake with gladness, and the earth shall tremble with joy;

23 And the general assembly of the church of the firstborn shall come down out of heaven, and possess the earth, and shall have place until the end come. And this is mine everlasting covenant, which I made with thy father Enoch.

The scripture says that we just embrace truth, which is Christ. (Christ is the way, the TRUTH and the life.) We just have to give up our false traditions, like Babylon and plural marriage and endowments and all this other weird stuff. Christ never said to do any of that stuff. He just said to go to Him and seek Him and that's it. We just give all that up and look to Christ and then comes Zion. No where in those versus does it say anything about plural marriage being the new and everlasting covenant. Is there anywhere you get that from apart from D&C 132 and the teachings of Brigham Young?

How about the example of BY marrying another man's wife, sending him on a mission, and then impregnating her? How can this be "living the Fullness of the New and Everlasting Covenant?"

Now repeat that 13 more times ... other men's wives. LOL

Hilarious.

I always assumed that about BY and marrying wives of men he sent on missions was heavily embellished. Is that really how that went down?
If so, how do the apologists explain what happened? I'm asking sincerely....

According to what that guy said in the video ...

I've also read the book "The Exoneration of Emma, Joseph, and Hyrum" and his research showed the first polygamist wife of BY (so his second wife) was a non-divorced woman from England who had a husband and 5 children, left England, married BY. Polyandry at its finest.

Luke has had a spiritual manifestation about the truthfulness of polygamy. I haven't heard him explain more, but this is why all reason and logic just bounce off him. He is too emotionally invested in this experience.

But it’s ok…. Joseph Smith did it first…. Like with Zina Huntington…. Joseph totally married her while she was married to Henry…. So Brigham did the charitable thing and married this poor widow of Joseph even though she was still living with (and never stopped living with) her first husband Henry…. He was just doing what Joseph did…. At least that’s what the Saints Volumes tell us….

Parley Pratt still wins that round. Your first example reminded me of the story of David, David won that round also. Brigham young is in second a lot.

Well, BY didn't get stabbed to death like PPP did by his wife's husband. Polyandry tends to make the other husband pretty angry.

I laughed when I first read that story, it was recently and right before general conference. Watching GC and some moron read a quote by PPP and I laughed again.

I bet you $10 the GC speaker doesn't know that PPP was killed by his wife's husband, from whom she was never divorced.

Luke hasn't responded, but it sounds like a "flaming sword" experience whatever it was. I'm pretty convinced that Joseph did meet an angel with a flaming sword. It's just too crazy of an experience for people to start making up about him. Joseph knew it was deception though. Lucifer and Christ are so close to appearing identical it can be almost impossible to tell them apart without prior experiences of being deceived. It is just so subtle. Moses went through that in Moses 1. The difference is that Moses first experienced Christ and then Lucifer. What if the experiences had been swapped though? What if Lucifer had come to Moses first? They just appear so close to each other. If the experience doesn't match scripture though or if there is even a hint of pride in the experience, you know you are deceived.

The New and Everlasting Covenant extends back to the pre-existence and deals with posterity, rights to priesthood, and—yes—polygamy. Coming to Christ, who entered this covenant himself as a Melchizedek Priest forever, means coming into this covenant in emulation of him and in compliance with the commands of the Father.
