Mormon Apostle Orson Hyde made these statements:
"It
will be borne in mind that once on a time, there was a marriage in Cana
of Galilee; . . .no less a person than Jesus Christ was married on that
occasion. If he was never married, his intimacy with Mary and Martha, and the other Mary also whom Jesus loved, must have been highly unbecoming and improper to say the least of it."
"I
will venture to say that if Jesus Christ were now to pass thought the
most pious countries in Christendom with a train of women, such as used
to follow him, . . .he would be mobbed, tarred, and feathered, and rode,
not on as ass, but on a rail."
"At
this doctrine the long-faced hypocrite and the sanctimonious bigot will
probably cry, blasphemy! . . . Object not, therefore, too strongly
against the marriage of Christ." ( Journal of Discourses, Vol. 4, pages
259-260)
"When
Mary of old came to the sepulcher. . .she saw two angels in white. and
they said unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She said unto them, Because
they have take away my Lord, OR HUSBAND, and I know not where they have
laid him." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 2, page 210)
In 1853 the following appeared in the Mormon church paper, the Millennial Star:
".
. .we apprehend that even greater troubles than these may arise before
mankind learn all the particulars of Christ's incarnation-how and by
whom he was begotten; the character of the relationships formed by the
act; the number of wives and children he had. . ." (The Millennial Star,
Vol 15, page 825)
Statement by Brigham Young, second prophet of the LDS church:
"The
Scripture says that He, the Lord, came walking in the Temple, with "HIS
TRAIN; I do not know who they were, unless his wives and children;"
(Journal of Discourses, Vol. 13. page 309).
