John, your posting this scripture is both hilarious and shameful, given your ministerial affiliations. It is impossible for two people of the same or opposite sex to shack up. Yet the CofC performs shacking up ceremonies for people who refuse to, or legally cannot, marry. You said that Section 111 was necessitated by Joseph Smith, Jr.'s bad behavior in pushing polygamy, but the CofC is engaged in the pursuit of sexual immorality on a daily basis. In fact, that is the major focus of its evangelism since the turn of the century.

Once the RLDS church was light, and now it is darkness. That's the miracle of the chiasmus, John.
