You can't infer anything from the fact that Moroni was bare-chested in the First Vision (no matter which version you choose). The Mormonism of 1837 had changed radically by 1843 and 1844.

That BY changed the ceremony in St. George to include his pet Adam-God theory does not mean there was no JS ceremony in Nauvoo or Kirtland. By the same token, the changes BY made to the garment do not obviate the fact that JS introduced it. Read David Bueger, Mysteries of Godliness.

Note how FAIR tries to discredit the evidence. 1) William Law denied the claimed offer of romance with Emma. That may be true but it doesn't matter. All that the "rumor" claimed is that JS said Emma could have another husband if she wanted. It is entirely possible she hadn't raised the issue with Law. 2) William Law was a Smith intimate but eventually fell away, implying that any

The account I've read in multiple sources states that Emma said she should be given that cute little William Law as a plural husband and that in a moment of weakness JS gave his permission. Having messed that up, his wing man, yea even God, sprung into action on his behalf. . . Verse 51: "Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I hav

"Murder" generally requires proof of premeditated intent to kill. If Emma beat Eliza in a rage, it is much more likely to be manslaughter--even if there was intent to kill in the precise moment of the attack. The planning, the premeditation, is key. In a comparable situation, an enraged killing in a bar fight will almost always engender a manslaughter conviction even if it has hap

Nonsense. In a society in which firearms are used for massacres constantly, the call to action with those weapons does not stay in a hermetically sealed gun closet.
