(Chart 18)

 
ETERNAL MARRIAGE DEPENDENT UPON PLURAL MARRIAGE

 

"ALL THESE PRINCIPLES....PERTAINING TO ETERNAL MARRIAGE, THE VERY MOMENT THAT THEY ARE ADMITTED TO BE TRUE, IT BRINGS IN PLURALITY OF MARRIAGE, AND IF PLURALITY OF MARRIAGE IS NOT TRUE, OR IN OTHER WORDS, IF A MAN HAS NO DIVINE RIGHT TO MARRY TWO WIVES OR MORE IN THE WORLD, THEN MARRIAGE FOR ETERNITY IS NOT TRUE, AND YOUR FAITH IS ALL VAIN. . . FOR AS SURE AS ONE IS TRUE, THE OTHER ALSO MUST BE TRUE. AMEN."

(Apostle Orson Pratt, Journal Of Discourses, XXI:296)
