FAIRMORMON'S RESPONSE AND SUPPORTING DATA
FutureMissionary says...
The website states that "prophets from Joseph Smith to Joseph F. Smith preached that you need to be a polygamist in order to reach the highest degree of glory in the celestial kingdom."
FAIR commentary
- Actually, it is primarily Brigham Young that preached that, and it was only relevant to the Latter-day Saints of his era.
Additional information
- Brigham Young said that the only men who become gods are those that practice polygamy—Since Brigham Young said "The only men who become Gods, even the sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy" (Journal of Discourses 11:269), does this mean plural marriage is required for exaltation? (Link)
