In reply to Katrina. We agree that there are no marriages performed in heaven, as these ordinances must be performed on earth and sealed by the holy spirit of promise. That is why we do work for the dead in holy Mormon temples. I performed the marriage sealing for my own parents, with my husband as proxy for my father and myself as proxy for my mother. Thus, their marriage can now be eternal, if they choose to accept and honor the ordinances performed in their behalf.

Just because they may be together on the other side does not necessarily mean that they have the same type of relationship. Mom and Dad can still be together without being “eternally married” or even “married. Mathew 22:30 “For when the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. … For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven”

In reply to Pastor Handy. We are not the FLDS Church. This site was mounted by ordinary Mormons who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 15,000,000 strong. We mounted this site to educate people who think we practice polygamy (we don't) and to differentiate us from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. You will have to contact them to stop the advertising you are receiving.

In reply to Boyd Summers.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not avoid talking about Joseph Smith’s polygamy and how it was instituted and practiced. The history has never been hidden, but now the Church is making the information even more readily available through new “topics” articles online and a new LDS Seminary manual. The institute manuals have always contained information about polygamy. Here’s a new article under the topics section: https://www.lds.org/topics/plural-marriage-and-families-in-early-utah?lang=eng

Polygamy is only a sin when God says it is. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob practiced polygamy and have been exalted. It takes sacrifice and purity, and even then it is difficult. If you read the personal accounts at http://historyofmormonism.com, you will see that many refused to enter into the practice until they received very profound revelations on the subject. Even then, only about 20% of Latter-day Saints entered into the practice. Today, of course, any Latter-day Saint who practices polygamy is excommunicated.

When you read Doctrine and Covenants 132, visualize it as the eternal marriage covenant between one man and one wife. Polygamy never was a requirement for exaltation. Its modern practice was meant to raise up righteous seed unto God at the very beginnings of the restoration during a period of great difficulty and probably as part of the “restoration of all things.”

I thank the Lds missionaries who came by my house last summer. instead of pants and shorts I wear dresses and Skirts and tops now. I belive in the Book of Mormon and Jesus Christ.

The LDS church avoids talking about what Joseph Smith started having plural wives. WHY? I am an active member in the LDS church. Having poligamy is a sin and ruin many lives. I would like a respone quickly. Don’t avoid this question. Provide me information. D&C 132 confuses me.

I am Pastor Handy from The New Testament Bible Church located in Monroe, LA. I have been getting your literature from Nathan C. Jessop of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day-Saints and I have not requested it. I have written numerous of letters asking that it be discounted because I am not a Mormon or do I have any association with your organization.
I do not know I ended up on your mailing list, I ask that you please remove me at once, thank you…
