Hi cwald I have no issue taking it literally for I think he is really a sexist pig for taking somebody else wife knowing full well that Henry Jacobs has been begging for his dear wife to return to him.
The other thing that is beyond me about this whole issue of polygamy that the church practice is sending the husband away on missions and then the leaders would go after their wives once the husband is gone. Take the case of Orson Hyde and Marinda Hyde. Wlliard Richards is also link to her.There maybe other story out there.
I am just trying to be honest really with things that bothers me about my faith.
