FAIR Latter-day Saints
Temperance revelation in a whiskey culture started as counsel. Later prophets bound it for temple worthiness. Joseph’s wine at Carthage is in History of the Church because we did not scrub it. The gotcha requires 1833 to already be 1921. Line upon line is the biblical pattern. Use it.
The same book that says ‘not by commandment’ also says alcohol is not good. Both sentences are on the page.
- Sacramental wine is in the revelation itself as an exception that later became water.
- Brigham and others still used tobacco or wine in ways later policy would not. That is development, not a sting.
- A health covenant that blesses millions is not refuted by a 19th-century glass.
