Journal of Discourses 14:242; “There are no marriages among spirits, no coupling together of the males and females among them; but when they rise from the grave after being tabernacled in mortal bodies, they have all the functions that are necessary to people worlds. As our Father and God begat us sons and daughters, so will we rise immortal males and females, and beget children and, in our turn, form and create worlds, and send forth our spirit children to inherit those worlds, the same as we were sent here, and thus will the works of God continue, and not only God himself, and His Son Jesus Christ have the power of endless lives, but all of His redeemed offspring.” – Orson Pratt, Salt Lake City, August 20, 1871

1 Corinthians 6:9-10; “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

Upon my arrival into Christianity the Lord blessed me beyond belief by placing a mature Christian woman older than myself into my life, and the lives of my family. Her name is Fran.

I’d call Fran every day with the smallest of worries plaguing me at the time. Each time we spoke her response to my endless queries was to quote one of two scriptures. It was either 2 Corinthians 10:5, or Philippians 4:8. The poor woman!

As I grew in the Lord, frantic worries dissipated, and thankfully, I began settling down in the Lord because I started looking for answers to my queries in His word.

Today in ministry as I look over some of the fallacious doctrines Mormons espouse, I often wonder if they’ve stopped to think upon 2 Corinthians 10:5, or Philippians 4:8. Most assuredly, Orson Pratt’s lies aren’t pure, and his teachings have done everything but cast down wild imaginations!

2 Corinthians 10:5 – “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ”.

Philippians 4:8 – “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

Completely absent is the concept we’ll be in heaven to praise God and worship Him. The entire ‘plan’ is nothing but eternal sex, and reminds us of what was going on in Paul’s day at the temple of Diana. Another definition for this is celestial polygamy. The image above describes the arduous process Mormons must go through in order to receive their true salvation.

Question:

Does celestial polygamy sound biblical to you?
