Eternal Marriage, Godhood, and Plural Marriage

This episode is only Section 132. In this section we see a revelation about how people can be sealed for time and for eternity. This is part of the idea that welding links across generations and in the eternities are possible through Priesthood power. This section teaches that men and women sealed in these relationships have power to become like their Heavenly Father in all ways, including becoming gods themselves, continuing to create life, and the possible creation of worlds. The idea of plural marriage is explored and justified by citing Abraham and others and explaining that plural marriage is a good thing in the eyes of God as long as it is done in the proper ways. This is a major shift for the Church and a difficult subject even for Joseph's closest associations.
