Monogamy Laid Foundation of STD’s

Journal of Discourses 13:195 “This law of monogamy, or the monogamic system, laid the foundation for prostitution and the evils and diseases of the most revolting nature and character under which modern Christendom groans, for as God has implanted, for a wise purpose, certain feelings in the breasts of females as well as males, the gratification of which is necessary to health and happiness, and which can only be accomplished legitimately in the married state…” — Orson Pratt, Salt Lake City, October 7, 1869

Isaiah 30:1 “Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin”.

Whatever happened to holding ‘all things captive to the obedience of Christ’? 2 Corinthians 10:5

Mr. Pratt seemed busy with his false accusations against Christians, while ignoring the problems he helped cause in his own neighborhood. He was married to ten women, and the father of 45 kids. His 1^st wife left him, and he married the 10^th wife who was younger than his daughter.

Lastly, as we’re all aware, Jesus advocated the ‘monogamic’ system of marriage when he said ‘a man shall leave his mother and father, and cleave to his wife’ — Matthew 19:5.

Why would He say this if polygamy was the preferred method of marriage?

How could monogamy be the foundation of disease, and evil?

We pray that if you’re LDS, you’ll compare the teachings of past apostles and prophets against the Bible. In Him there is no confusion as you’ve seen in this LDS reference today.

With Love in Christ;
