Polygamy or cattle breeding?

Is it a game? Do people really believe in polygamy? Do women really enjoy "sharing" a husband with other women? Is the husband just a creepy guy who wants to have as many women as possible? And for those who do believe in polygamy, what deceptive power is able to convince a people so deeply?

To me, polygamy is like cattle breeding.

I watched a special on t.v. the other night about polygamy, particularly in relation to the Mormon religion. Women were interviewed who detested being married, having been forced to marry a man up to 30 years older at an age of 18, and having been forced to stay in that marriage in order to receive entrance into heaven.

This is not Christianity, and it is completely deceiving. It is not supported in the Bible. Christ is our high priest by whom we are able to be saved. It is not by a husband, or a father, or a brother, not by a mother, or wife, or sister. It is by redemption provided through the name of Jesus Christ alone.

What saddens me the most about polygamy, but mostly about Mormonism, is that it is deceiving in that it shares part of truth, but it does not share it all, nor does it share it clearly. In that way, it is not the truth. Deception is deception. And the Bible talks about how in the end times many will be led astray, and even the hearts of Christians will grow cold. Christ warned us of these times, to look out for deception and for the enemy, and not to let them have a foothold. Identify deception and call it out for what it is--evil. For God is not God of confusion, but of clarity, power, and a sound mind. May our hearts never turn cold, never turn to stone. May they break day after day with love for people, no matter the cost. And may the deception of Mormonism be destroyed in the name of Jesus. May the power and clear truth of Jesus Christ pierce hearts and draw the lost sheep to the Shepherd.
