| | Plural Marriage (Mormonism) - definition of Plural Marriage (Mormonism) in Encyclopedia |
 | | Plural marriage among Latter-day Saints is a sort of polygamy (more properly called polygyny) formerly practiced by some members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during the Church's 19th century founding days and currently practiced by splinter groups. | | | However, a few members continued to practice plural marriage privately with the approval of a few Church leaders until a second proclamation was issued by the Church in the early 1900s. | | | He claimed to have received a revelation from God regarding plural marriage (see Doctrine and Covenants 132 (http://scriptures.lds.org/dc/132)), and a new commandment from God to take more wives. |

| | Mormonism Research Ministry - Articles - Redefining Celestial Marriage |
| | Mormon temples and the rituals performed in them constitute one of the more important disciplines of the LDS faith. | | | While a great portion of the activity in a Mormon temple is on behalf of the dead (baptisms for the dead, endowments for the dead, etc.), marriage ceremonies for the living, called celestial marriage, also plays a very important role in the LDS view of salvation. | | | Today, celestial marriage merely means to be married for time and eternity in an LDS temple. |

| | Plural Marriage |
| | Beason, it became clear that plural marriage was leading toward the economic and political destruction of the Church. | | | "Plural marriage was the nineteenth-century LDS practice of a man marrying more than one wife. | | | Although polygamy had been practiced for much of history in many parts of the world, to do so in "enlightened" America in the nineteenth century was viewed by most as incomprehensible and unacceptable, making it the Church's most controversial and least understood practice. |

| | Mormonism : Polygamy - Plural Legacy Reverberates In Utah Today |
| | While the LDS Church has disavowed polygamy, the reference to plural marriage is still included in the faith's scripture, the Doctrine and Covenants. | | | Instead, Mormonism is based on a mixture of fantasy, plagiarism, and deception - which is why Mormon theology changes from time to time as needed necessary by the church's leaders (but wrongly attributed to ''God''). | | | Those pioneers were practicing a principle that Mormon founder Joseph Smith said he received as a divine revelation in the 1830s, following "plural marriage" as described in the Old Testament. |

| | The Mormonal Denial of Plural Marriage - Mormon Church - Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. | | | This doctrine of plural marriage is one of the most important doctrines ever revealed to man. Without it man would come to a full stop; without it we never could be exalted to associate with and become Gods, neither could we attain to the power of eternal increase. | | | Whatever the truth-claims of the Mormon Church may be (which is not the subject of discussion here), it is plain that the contemporary Church is not teaching the same doctrines as its founder and early leaders. |

| | Reviews: Conflict in the Quorum |
| | A common perception among Mormons is that there is a perpetual state of harmony and agreement among the church's leaders, particularly the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. | | | Was Mormonism, according to Pratt's argument, to become a religion primarily bound to scripture or would it continue to find its fundamental strength in the living oracles who led the church, the position espoused by Brigham Young? | | | Bergera confronts head-on one of the most pervasive and unnecessary myths in Mormon culture: that church leaders are monolithically unified. |

| | Times & Seasons » The Real Issue |
| | Marriages for the barren may (or may not) be a valid argument against the claim that secular marriage rests on some procreative policy, but in the context of Mormon theology, I don’t think it is as important as you suggest. | | | Until the would-be Mormon partisans of same sex unions can provide an answer to that question, it seems to me that their argument is tantamount to claim that Mormons must reject the uniqueness of their soteriology in order to accommodate same sex unions. | | | Biological lineage seems to be secondary to spiritual lineage in Mormon theology–whole branches of the house of Israel being grafted in by adoption doesn’t seem to be a problem, so perhaps the lack of earthly biological offspring might not be an impediment to the kind of eternal fecundity you’re getting at. |

| | Shadow Influences of Plural Marriage |
| | Mormonism, with its distinctly eternal perspective of sexuality should of all religions teach the eternal Godliness of sexuality. | | | Indeed, Mormon theology, which emphasizes the importance and eternal significance of the body of flesh would seemingly be in the forefront of leading others to a healthy and positive view of sexuality. | | | Perhaps most relevant to members of the Mormon Church are the influences on developing sexual attitudes shaped from interaction with the church culture. |

| | The lure of the benefits of marriage is not offset in their minds by the threat of immediate negative ecclesiastical and family sanctions or by longterm negative sanctions: the eternal fate of their sons and the temporal miseries of sharing a life with covenant-breakers. | | | You cannot understand the nature of the battle for New Covenant Patriarchy until you understand that the forbidding of marriage, whether of the Roman Catholic kind (celibacy for priests on up) or the Protestant kind (one wife at a time only for everybody), is a doctrine of demons (1 Timothy 4:1-3). | | | God's definition of marriage and living it according to his commandments is not a trivial matter. |

| | The passage from the Book of Mormon condemns David and Solomon's practice and the practice of plural marriage in general, and the Doctrine and Covenants passage attempts to use David's practice as justification for plural marriage. | | | The Book of Mormon account is basing their statements on an interpretation of Mosaic Law to defend a new position on polygamy. | | | In other words, the passage in the Book of Mormon and the passage in the Doctrine and Covenants, quite possibly, are really not discussing the same issue at all. |
