A prophet has the right to interpret scripture for the church. That's not the only interpretation of that verse. We accept canon for doctrine as interpreted by a living prophet. I've never heard any prophet interpret that scripture that way for a long time.

Until they disallow a man from being sealed to more than one woman in the temple, polygamy is still actively being practiced in the church.

didn't you just put yourself in both camps 1 and 3? i get what you're saying, but it seems to me that camp 1 is really the most logical definition of "the implementation was a bit off" part of camp 3. i fit in both camps 1 and 3 - inspired revelation imperfectly implemented b/c we, including js, are sexual beings. |

So Adam, you're being a binary here, because you appear to believe there's only one way to undo scripture or a prophet's mistake cloaked as scripture.
He must either state it in canon, or never reveal it. Do you not make provision for other methodology?

Doctrine and Covenants 132:15 Therefore, if a man marry him a wife in the world, and he marry her not by me nor by my word, and he covenant with her so long as he is in the world and she with him, their covenant and marriage are not of force when they are dead, and when they are out of the world; therefore, they are not bound by any law when they are out of the world. Why does it seemingly refer to one man and one woman in the key verse if the new and everlasting covenant = plural marriage not monogamous temple marriage. Why did they perform monogamous temple sealings from the beginning of the temple ceremony to now? Is it possible a prophet might have even intended one meaning when he entered verse into canon but God influenced the prophet to write it in a way that would be interpreted a different way? Is there something important about canon that may even supercede a prophet's intention? I don't know--honest questions. |
