Early Christians on plural marriage


Jump to details:


Polygamous marriages involving mothers, daughters and sisters

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?

Why were Adam and Noah not commanded to practice polygamy?

Summary: If polygamy was commanded of God to "raise seed," then why were Adam and Noah not commanded to practice polygamy?
