[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 948469, member: 1246"] You're ridiculous and it's like saying Christians are crazy because the bible tells a STORY of a whale swallowing a man. It's trumpeting like Moroni that plural marriage is part of Mainstream LDS (other than in their past history). Only the fundamentalist, broken away from LDS, still practices the illegal multiple marriage. “Kolob” has almost no theological importance in Mormonism—allow me to explain further. In the Book of Abraham, part of the Mormon scriptural cannon, God explains the organization of the universe to the prophet Abraham. The account describes the astrological object nearest to God's throne (a star, perhaps?) using the name “Kolob.” Whether “Kolob” was simply the word Abraham used (indeed, the Semitic root QLB does mean “heart, center, middle,” in harmony with “Kolob's” hypothetical central position in the universe), or whether it is the name God actually uses to describe the astrological object nearest His thrown, we do not know. Some Mormons even doubt the literal existence of “Kolob,” suggesting it may simply symbolize Jesus Christ Himself."
