The Mormon Da Vinci Link
Was the Mormon Jesus Married?
Orson Hyde, an apostle of the LDS church, taught that he was. "Gentlemen, that is as plain as the translators, or different councils over this Scripture, are allow it to go to the world, but the thing is there; it is told; Jesus was the bridegroom at the marriage of Cana of Galilee, and he told them what to do... Now there was actually a marriage; and if Jesus was not the bridegroom on that occasion, please tell who was. If any man can show this, and prove that it was not the Savior of the world, then I will acknowledge I am in error. We say it was Jesus Christ who was married, to be brought into the relation whereby he could see his seed, before he was crucified." (JOURNAL OF DISCOURSES, vol. 2, p.82)
Jedediah M. Grant, second counselor to Brigham Young, agreed: "The grand reason why the Gentiles and philosophers ...persecuted Jesus Christ, was because he had so many wives; there were Elizabeth and Mary and a host of others that followed him." (JOURNAL OF DISCOURSES, vol. 1, pp.345-46) Orson Pratt, Apostle and member of Council of Twelve, said this “We have now clearly shown that God, the Father had a plurality of wives, one or more being in eternity, by whom He begat our spirits as well as the spirit of Jesus His First Born... We have also proved most clearly that the Son followed the example of his Father, and became the great Bridegroom to whom kings' daughters and many honorable Wives to be married." (THE SEER, p.172-173) Brigham Young, second prophet of the LDS church, said: "The Scripture says that He, the Lord, came walking in the Temple, with "his train; I do not know who they were, unless his wives and children;" (JOURNAL OF DISCOURSES, vol. 13, p.309) In the Church Newspaper, it was taken for granted that he was married.". . .we apprehend that even greater troubles than these may arise before mankind learn all the particulars of Christ's incarnation-how and by whom he was begotten; the character of the relationships formed by the act; the number of wives and children he had. . ." (The Millennial Star, 1853, vol. 15, p.825) Remember The generous gifts and prayers of friends like you support Saints Alive, our newsletters, websites and outreaches
