Why do I say the 'time/generation/era'?
Because in the years around 1848, there were men with many mistresses in the U.S. This lifestyle was known as the 'free love' movement.. And it was within these years that the Mormon Church had its beginnings.

If I'm a Gentile, what do the 'laws' which I live under say about 'mistresses'? Because when it comes to other things, all I know is:
Acts 15:27-29 "We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell
youthe same things by mouth.
28For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well."
So what is 'fornication'? What does the Law which I live under say is 'fornication'? Or do they have such a thing?
What are the 'sexual laws' in the Jurisdiction I'm under?
So to keep those 'laws' would provide for the physical requirements. So to move to the Spiritual 'purposes', what is 'fornication' from the Spiritual purpose/foundation Truth?
What was the Apostle Paul saying, referring to, when he said, 'fornication'?
According to the Apostle Paul, what was 'fornication'?
Okay.. so here goes again.. Was Acts written by the Apostle Paul? Question:
Was he in the upper room during the day of Pentecost? There were the original 12 not counting Judas Iscariot. .
Acts:
1The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
3To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Wait for the Holy Spirit
4And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 5For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence."
So who is writing this? Someone who was in (J)erusalem in the upper room awaiting the promise of The Father?
21Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all
men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
1The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus,
of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2Until the day in which he was taken up, a
fter that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
Acts 15:27-29 "
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell
youthe same things by mouth.
28For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost,
and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well."
For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us
through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us
So commonly overlooked possible errors:
1. (J)esus Christ had long hair.
2. Acts was written by the Apostle Paul.
3. The 'Law' always refers to the 'torah'/the Law of Y'srael.
4. Homosexuality is 'Sodom' in The Holy Bible
5. Sodom was a 'male' dominated city
6. The Apostle Paul was a 'Hebrew' born in Y'srael. Saul of Tarsus of Cilicia (Modern day Turkey)
7. The term 'Christian' was first used in Antioch, Turkey. Or could it have been Antioch, Syria?
