Joseph Smith Molestation Issue: by Eliza Lino Abaya the Cunning Artist of INC

INC cunning ways to shift the subject, the Art of Deception, were they use their skills just to prevent the right history and to avoid issues that could lead them to question their faith. Overall, they are experts in this field of cunning ways. But let's take a look at some of it and address this issue to satisfy their demands.

From a comment

 

She is probably a boy or maybe a troll. To think she's a girl, possibly too young to learn the Art of Lying, but she's an expert on it. Anyway, she said in her comments:

...SI CRISTO...PRINSIPE NG KAPAYAPAAN...

PAG MARAMING ASAWA ..WALNG KAPAYAPAAN ..SA SAMBAHAYAN.

KATULAD NI JS ...PINATAY SIYA...KASI...DAMI NG MINOLESTEYA

Yes, Christ is indeed the Prince of Peace as Isaiah stated in the 9th chapter on the 6th verse, which said -

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

So, basically, Christ, as per INC goes, was the same person being prophesied by Isaiah, and who indeed was not just the Prince of Peace, but the Mighty God of Peace. This passage was also quoted by Nephi, who understood the message of Isaiah in the upcoming event of his life. (see Nephi 19:6)

Now, while we have established that this Christ is the Mighty God of Peace, we can clearly understand that this was the same being who called up the Holy Men during the times of the Prophet. If so, then it was the same being who allowed the same Polygamy that was ever introduced by the prophet. Now there goes the question. Why would a God of Peace allow this kind of practice, which confused the understanding of the minds of the People? Why would He break his own words, which simply distract from the teachings of Marriage? I don't know, perhaps He has planned something for their generations, or maybe he wants those prophets to be responsible in their paternal calling. We don't know, it was already been established even in the days of old to marry a wife (singular), which even in the days of Adam (Genesis 2:24). While this kind of practice is not actually explained much in the scriptures, it is safe to say that God ordained it.

If you want to go deeper on this subject, which I had covered some of it in this blog, just go ahead and use the search box to explore. I will make a new Post to link up some of those subjects.

Going back to the issue, was it the very reason why Joseph Smith was killed because he molested women?

First of all, defining Molestation or sexual abuse is different from a sexual relationship with someone whom you love. This may sound awkward in discussing a private matter in an open religious discussion, but let's face it, God gave us Genders and Sexes for his very own purpose. Though it is unusual to discuss such a sensitive matter, for the sake of the issue, we will give the very best we can to address it. Anyway, to answer it straight, there's no record of any Molestation happening during Joseph's days. There may be Sexual intercourse or a relationship, but too far for such a thing as Libido. If Joseph Smith was a Libido, rest assured, he couldn't lead the church in a short period of time, or before he was killed, and most of the time being hunted down.

Also, Joseph Smith was killed on June 27, 1844, at Carthage Jail in Carthage, Illinois. He and his brother Hyrum were awaiting the trial on the charges related to the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor printing press, not the Polygamy alone, though most of it was part of the Nauvoo Expositor's propaganda. The Nauvoo Expositor was a newspaper that published a single edition, which included criticisms of Joseph Smith and allegations of his practice of polygamy, among other accusations. So, basically, Polygamy is not just the issue during Joseph Smith's time. This event escalated tensions between Latter-day Saints and some Illinois residents, leading to their deaths by an armed mob.

Joseph Smith did practice plural marriage, as directed by what he reported as a revelation from God. The practice was controversial then, as it is now, and contributed to the tensions and opposition he faced. However, his death was the result of a complex mix of religious, political, and social conflicts of the time, rather than the accusation mentioned by our INC friend, Eliza Lino Abaya.

If you're not impressed, let's go ahead to a historical account of Joseph Smith so we can gather information on a report of molestation.

• For insights into polygamy during Joseph Smith’s era, you can explore the article “Polygamy (Joseph Smith Era)” (Click on the link on the time for more info)
• And for those contemplating the concept of polygamy in eternity, the article “Polygamy in Eternity” here could provide some perspective. (Click on the link on the time for more info)

My short Response to his senseless comments.

   

This topic is not actually a big issue for me since we are not in Joseph Smith's Time, Polygamy was not allowed as the Manifesto goes, and we believe in Continuous Revelation. But people seem affected by history, where they never think those days had different social understanding and standards. Instead of going through critical thinking, this kind of people simply goes on to their ideology without self-mastery and logic, and go on to their criticisms that they don't even know the whole context.

The Only solution to your problem, Eliza Lino Abaya, is to know the history first before making things up.

Her Conclusion

As I can see, haven't you looked at yourself in the mirror?

Christ never opened up a topic such as Polygamy or whatsoever during those days, but since we have established Christ in the Old days, he knows the reason why it was all about. And possibly he was the same being who ordained it. Thank you for opening up Isaiah 9:6 for me.

In conclusion, as Eliza Lino Abaya tries to make a good point in dismissing the LDS teachings, she fails in her own cunning ways, and possibly she was brainwashed by some of her Ministers so she could no longer delve deeper into the subject but rather make a direct conclusion she never knew. She never has any idea of how and what the exact history goes, but rather makes up her own interpretations that it is wrong and Joseph Smith was a Libido or Sexually Predator, were they mostly use to control the discussion and avoid answering the questions of their belief and ideology. This was already proven on our previous conversation with Eliza Lino Abaya. Have a nice day.
