the way the pic showed it looked liked a Muslim family. If this is true I would have to denoce the church. You may call me what ever you will but that would mean the church is pro Muslim. And maybe gays. with all that is going on in this world John the sick evil man who is doing this things to all humans is so wrong I cant wait till they put a double tap in his head. I think we should kick all of them out of the usa . Take no chances. and to know that a church may be harboring them is mad.
No. The Amish, like most Christians, reject the practice of polygamy.
You mean polygamy? Many religions practice polygamy, including Islam, some Christian groups, and many regional or tribal religions in Africa and Asia.
The United States government outlawed polygamy in all it's states and territories in 1865. As Utah was a territory at that time, polygamy was outlawed in Utah Territory by an act of the United States government.
The exact time that the practice of polygamy began among the Mormons is disputed. Evidence exists that Joseph Smith knew it was God's will as early as 1831, however the revelation was not recorded until 1843. Before 1844 it was practiced by only a select few members and many members were completely unaware of it. Once the Mormons arrived in Utah in 1847, the practice became much more prevalent.
Polygamy is a form of marriage in which an individual has multiple spouses at the same time. This practice can take various forms, such as polygyny (one husband with multiple wives) or polyandry (one wife with multiple husbands). Polygamy is permitted in some cultures and religions, while it is illegal in others.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) discontinued the practice of polygamy in the United States in 1890 and internationally in 1903. Anyone found entering into a polygamous marriage since that time has been excommunicated from the church. The polygamy ban caused some polygamy supporters to split from the church and create their own groups, many of which are still in existence today. Members of these groups often refer to themselves as "Mormon Fundamentalists" although they are not affiliated with the mainstream Mormon church.
No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) banned the practice of polygamy over 120 years ago, in 1890. Anyone found practicing polygamy since that time has been excommunicated from the Church. There were some who disagreed with this ban and left the Mormon church to form their own groups. Many of these groups still exist today and are sometimes referred to as "Mormon Fundamentalists." These groups are not affiliated with the regular Mormon Church and believe that the Mormon Church has left God's way.
