| − | <!-- | + | <!--Die Beachtung des Wortes der Weisheit hat sich im Laufe der Zeit geändert und zwar passend zu den fortlaufenden Offenbarungen neuzeitlicher Propheten, die ein größeres Gewicht auf gewisse Elemente der ursprünglichen Offenbarung legten, die Joseph Smith empfangen hatte. Frühe Heilige der Letzten Tage waren nicht unter den gleichen Anforderungen wie es heutige HLT waren. Heilige der Letzten Tage glauben, der Herr offenbare Zeile für Zeile, Vorschrift um Vorschrift Jesajah 28:10,13 and andere) und dass Offenbarung fortfährt, wie die Umstände sich ändern. |
| − | + | DerText im Wort der Weisheit verbietet "starkes Getränk" [http://scriptures.lds.org/de/dc/89#5 (LuB 89:5, 7)], was zunächst als destillierte Spirituosen interpretiert wurde. Bier, unvergorener oder leicht vergorener Wein und Apfelwein wurden als "milde Getränke" betrachtet, [http://scriptures.lds.org/de/dc/89/17#17 (LuB 89:17)] and therefore acceptable (note that verse 17 specifically permits "barley...for mild drinks"). The complete prohibition of alcoholic drinks of any kind only became part of the Word of Wisdom following the temperance movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries; Presidents Joseph F. Smith and Heber J. Grant supported the movement and Grant made complete abstention from alcohol in any form a requirement for a temple recommend in the early 1920s. | |
Consider also that drinking water in Joseph Smith's day (or during Biblical times) was a gamble because water purity was always questionable; a little alcohol in a beverage insured that it was free of viruses and bacteria. The development of germ theory in the late 19th century lead to chemical treatments to ensure a safe supply of public drinking water. A strict enforcement of the Word of Wisdom in Joseph Smith's time would have been a death sentence for many Latter-day Saints. | Consider also that drinking water in Joseph Smith's day (or during Biblical times) was a gamble because water purity was always questionable; a little alcohol in a beverage insured that it was free of viruses and bacteria.

The Word of Wisdom is "a principle with promise," initially given "not by commandment or constraint" (D&C 89:2–3). Today's Latter-day Saints are required to observe it more rigorously than those who came before them.--> | The Word of Wisdom is "a principle with promise," initially given "not by commandment or constraint" (D&C 89:2–3).
