I’m still trying to channel my inner-evangelical as we continue our conversation with David Patrick, an apostle of Christ’s Church, and polygamy expert Anne Wilde.  In 1 Corinthians it says it is better to marry than to burn, and Jesus says there is no marriage in heaven.  How do they handle those scriptures?

GT:  Paul says you should remain celibate even as I am. But if you can’t contain, okay, go ahead and get married. You know, because it’s better to marry than to burn. I mean, that doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement of marriage.

David:  Well, Paul was married.

Anne: Yeah, I was just gonna say that.

David: Yeah. And so, that’s the only that’s the only real scripture that they can hang on to call for celibacy, I guess.

It should be noted that Christ’s Church has a temple in southern Utah, and they do proxy temple work for their kindred dead, just like LDS do.  Check out our conversation…
