Polygamy - Brigham vs the Book of Mormon

"If any of you will deny the plurality of wives and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned."  ~ Brigham Young - Deseret News November 14, 1855
"Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not be any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none; For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts....For they shall not lead away captive the daughters of my people because of their tenderness, save I shall visit them with a sore curse, even unto destruction..."  ~ Book of Mormon - Jacob 2:27-28,33

The True Meaning of Easter

The fact of our Lord’s resurrection is based on the testimonies of many credible witnesses. The risen Lord appeared to several women, to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, to Peter, to the Apostles; and “after that,” as Paul reported, “he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once. … And last of all he was seen of [Paul] also.” (1 Cor. 15:6, 8.)  ~ Ezra Taft Benson, The Meaning of Easter, April 1992



Remember who else was once considered a credible witness?

LDS views on the sun and future of the earth

"... So it is with regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain. It was made to give light to those who dwell upon it, and to other planets; and so will this earth when it is celestialized."


JD 13:271 - p.272, Brigham Young, July 24, 1870
