Plural Marriage
Deut. 17:17; “Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.”
If God had given you a revelation to share with the people you’re leading to God for salvation, why wouldn’t you share it with them immediately? Could it be this idea came from your own mind instead of God’s? Smith announced this “revelation” on July 12, 1843. By this time Smith had no less than 37 wives.
