Jacob, chapter 2, when put against Doctrine and Covenants (D&C), chapter 132, is laughable. God says in Jacob that David’s life of polygamy is so sinful that it is an abomination to God. Whereas in D&C, David’s life of polygamy is not a sin and therefore, ok with God. Read this for yourself. “And now I make an end of speaking unto you concerning this pride. And were it not that I must speak unto you concerning a grosser crime, my heart would rejoice exceedingly because of you. But the word of God burdens me because of your grosser crimes. For behold, thus saith the Lord: This people begin to wax in iniquity; they understand not the scriptures, for they seek to excuse themselves in committing whoredoms, because of the things which were written concerning David, and Solomon his son. Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.” (Jacob 2:22-24) Doesn’t this sound like the God of Mormonism is against polygamy? It sure does, but get ready for what He said next. It will blow your mind.
Below are the verses from D&C that speak against what God already spoke in Jacob. “David also received many wives and concubines, and also Solomon and Moses my servants, as also many others of my servants, from the beginning of creation until this time; and in nothing did they sin save in those things which they received not of me. David’s wives and concubines were given unto him of me, by the hand of Nathan, my servant, and others of the prophets who had the keys of this power; and n none of these things did he sin against me save in the case of Uriah and his wife; and, therefore he hath fallen from his exaltation, and received his portion; and he shall not inherit them out of the world, for I gave them unto another, saith the Lord.” (Doctrine And Covenants 132:38,39). As for the real God of the Bible’s view on polygamy. He said, “neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.” (Deuteronomy 17:17) Therefore, polygamy is not of God, although the God of Mormonism is confused on this matter. Amen.
Let us pray:
Oh Lord, I pray that You will open many people’s eyes who are blind. It is sad to know that many religions are leading people on the path of destruction. This includes Mormonism, which I was once a part of since my birth. Thankfully, You opened my eyes to the false teachings and abominations in their temples while I still had breath. Truly, I had a choice to not trust in any other church, but the fact of the matter was that church didn’t matter, but You alone, Jesus. All I needed was You, God. You helped me unlearn the lies that I had learned since childhood while attending that cult. It was difficult to break free from all the false teachings, for there were many, but with the help of Christian friends that You put in my life, this happened very quickly. Over time, I did not care anymore about what my family thought of me, for You had me in Your arms, Lord. Thank You for not giving up on me, although I was surely on a path that did not lead to You most of my life. God, I have made some very bad mistakes and sinned greatly in Your sight, and please know that I am so sorry. Forgive me. My life is Yours. I love You. Amen.
