Who Said That?

"If any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse another, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery for they are given unto him; for he cannot commit adultery with that that belongeth unto him and to no one else.  And if he have ten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery, for they belong to him, and they are given unto him; therefore is he justified."

These words, it is claimed, come from Jesus himself, speaking to his people through Joseph Smith's 12 July 1843 polygamy revelation on plural marriage and his demand that Emma Smith, the first wife, accept all of Joseph Smith's plural wives; The Doctrine and Covenants, 132:1–4, 19, 20, 24, 34, 35, 38, 39, 52, 60–62.  Lucky Emma . . .

Would have to be Mohammed?

[Dave]

My first thought was Joseph Smith, but I think I'll go with an old translation of the Qu'ran.

[Ron]

Mohammed

[John]

Im going with Brigham Young! That is guy is crazy, its funny i actually attend BYU for evangelism purposes.

["lee n. field"]

Luther in one of his wilder moments.

[turmeric]

Mohammed

I'll vote for a Mormon, JS or BY I suppose. I thought Muslims were limited to 4 wives ( except the ones they marry for an afternoon at the brothel and then divorce afterwards)

[reg]

Clearly a Mormon, given the typical misappropriation of traditional Christian words such as "jstified" and pseudo-KJ-biblical sentence structure. I will go with Jos. Smith.

[Joe]

Gotta be Muhammed

[Scioli]

Hands down, Joseph Smith

[Arthur Sido]

Brigham Young

[Nathan]

Joseph Smith

[timinator]

I well go with my first quess, Muhammed.

[Douglas]

I will say either Jim Jones or David Koresh...

[Ivan]

the language is too archaic for Jim Jones or David Koresh.

Sure sounds like something Joseph Smith would profess to have been given by secret revelation.

Who knows maybe it was on one of those golden tablets that conveniently no one else ever saw...

[Albert]

Gotta be a mormon... Moslems (muslims) can only marry 4... and the language seems pseudo-biblical!!!

Joseph Smith or Brigham Young.

[Chris Sherman]

Gotta be Joe Smith. This is what you get when you translate from "reformed Egyptian" writing- whatever you want it to mean. Probably from their angel, "Moroni" or was it Macaroni, no wait that's the Italian Mormon angel.

It's amazing all the stuff that came out of the Burned-over district in NY.

[Mike Ratliff]

Joseph Smith

[pilgrim]

I'll go with the obvious & say Joseph Smith, but it could be some unknown clone of Smith, Young & Mohammed.
