God makes that clear in Alma 42, he must follow the laws of the kingdom as well or he would cease to be God. The commandments he is giving and revoking at whim are:Mark wrote: ↑August 25th, 2017, 12:13 pmCol.

There is an important scripture in the D&C son to help you resolve this. I have given it to you several times now. It still isnt sinking in. What's a Dad to do? Heaven knows I tried. Your mothers pillow is constantly wet with tears of concern for your eternal welfare. Give her a break and stop with the rebelliousness.
4 Wherefore I, the Lord, command and revoke, as it seemeth me good; and all this to be answered upon the heads of the rebellious, saith the Lord.
He is not changing the morality of polygamy on the fly, he is simply sending people from one place to work to another, commanding his servants on where to work, that does not justify polygamy starting/stopping in any way.5 Wherefore, I revoke the commandment which was given unto my servants Thomas B. Marsh and Ezra Thayre, and give a new commandment unto my servant Thomas, that he shall take up his journey speedily to the land of Missouri, and my servant Selah J. Griffin shall also go with him.
6 For behold, I revoke the commandment which was given unto my servants Selah J. Griffin and Newel Knight, in consequence of the stiffneckedness of my people which are in Thompson, and their rebellions.
7 Wherefore, let my servant Newel Knight remain with them; and as many as will go may go, that are contrite before me, and be led by him to the land which I have appointed.
The Lord has in past historical times sanctioned the practice of Celestial plural marriage. That is just a fact. Unless of course you want to throw out several scriptural passages because they don't line up with your particular paradigm. Do as you wish. Just don't act as though you are the purveyor of all things doctrinal past and present. The thoughts of taking on more than 1 wife in mortality gives me the heebie jeebies. That doesn't mean the Lord has never sanctioned its practice since the time of Adam. He has.
