Did Joseph Smith Teach Polygamy? Live Debate #2

Posted on by

Despite the plethora of public condemnations of polygamy during his lifetime, some believe that Joseph Smith was still teaching in private that polygamy was a commandment from God. Did he ever teach it? Did he ever write about it? Did he ever receive a revelation about it? Since there’s no first-hand material from Joseph Smith in favor of polygamy, we must closely examine the accounts and records of both those who said he did, and those that insisted that he didn’t. This debate seeks to shed light on this important question, covering the key arguments in this age-old debate: Did Joseph Smith teach polygamy?
