Then one must ask, what is excess when it comes to wives? Brigham Young was know to have stated he can have 999 wives, as long as it wasn't 1000 he wasn't doing as Solomon was therefore it wouldn't be wrong.Fiannan wrote: ↑December 24th, 2017, 9:52 amIt no more condemns polygamy than the Bible condemns earning money. One can take a scripture condemning the excess of something and then infer it means the original practice is evil, but then we could say even marriage itself is evil as Paul appeared to say a life of celibacy might be a good thing...unless you take what he said in proper context.I agree with the New Covenant, The Book of Mormon, which thoroughly condemns the “practice” and as for the leaders that perpetuated it among our people, I don’t know what their motivations were.
999, is a joke for sure and is not practical or possible in practice.
