It's not that I'm needed there but that it will be a blessing for me to be there. None of us are really needed anywhere.

Multiply and replenish the earth would be creating physical bodies, not spirits or intelligences. I think you need to review the creations accounts and the temple ceremonies chain of events. We are told to consider ourselves Adams and Eves and then AFTER we pass through the veil into the Celestial worlds we are placed under covenant as symbolically resurrected beings to go back to the lone and dreary world and multiply and replenish it. That is why the Gods say "Let us go down to organize man". After being resurrected in God's Kingdom as Gods the true multiplying and replenishing of earths begins. Just because Joseph only had children with Emma in this life, I guarantee in the worlds to come he and all his plural wives will be "going down" and multiplying and replenishing earths by providing physical bodies. But maybe that's my Adam-God talking...

As I said, as long as I have at least 1 wife I will have no complaints...at least not about how many wives I have. Her flower is all I need.
VideoGameJunkie Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 For the record, of the 24 women I polled who were all against polygamy, all 24 are temple endowed with active temple recommends. So these are the women that will most likely wind up in the Celestial Kingdom and they're all against it. So good luck finding wor thy women who are down for it because my poll was 100% against.

But if God says "in order to receive blessing A you must live law A" our agency doesn't trump that. No law lived, no blessing granted. 100% against living a law = 100% refusing a blessing = stagnation.

You are talking about women like they are pieces of candy - "Hey, guys! Just make sure you leave one for me!" This is sickening. No, you're interpreting it in a sickening way. Your words are yours, not mine.

Can't live a law if no women are willing or want to live it.

But maybe that's my Adam-God talking... "Let us go down and organize man." The "us" is portrayed as God, Jesus, and Michael. No polygamous wives mentioned. And organizing man referred to the creation of the physical bodies of Adam and Eve. Not limitless fetuses that would require polygamous wives. Still no knowledge about how intelligences/spirits are created
VideoGameJunkie Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 I think it's Satan that's been making me think about polygamy a lot and confusing me because I read a thing that says; Satan rushes you, frightens you, pushes you, confuses you, condemns you, stresses you, discourages you, and worries you, while God stills you, reassures you, leads you, enlightens you, forgives you, calms you, encourages you, and comforts you. Now taking both into account it's obvious Satan is shaping my mind on the issue of polygamy and so are some of the posters here. But I won't name names.
