- Early Christians on plural marriage
- Why was Joseph Smith sealed to mothers, daughters and sisters? Did this not violate a biblical prohibition?
Early Christians on plural marriage
Jump to details:
- Question: How did early Christians view plural marriage?
- Question: If polygamy was commanded of God in order to "raise seed," then why were Adam and Noah not commanded to practice polygamy?
Why was Joseph Smith sealed to mothers, daughters and sisters? Did this not violate a biblical prohibition?
Summary: A biblical prohibition under the Mosaic law prohibited polygamous marriages involving a mother and daughter: "Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time." Leviticus 18:18. The law also prohibited one from marrying two sisters: "And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you." Leviticus 20:14. Why, then, was Joseph Smith sealed to mothers, daughters and sisters? Did this not violate a biblical prohibition?
