I occasionally like to read apologetic nonsense on a topic for the entertainment value. I just did a search of FAIR for Flaming Sword as I thought it would be fun to see what those clowns the apologists have to say about Joe's whopper he told women about an angel with the flaming sword that would slay him if he didn't bone 'em. None of the 10 hits were related to that. Anyone no of any of apologetics that address this topic directly? Would love to see how an apologist would try to claim Joe wasn't lying his ass off with that ploy. Maybe even those clowns aren't stupid enough to try that?

Although the "flaming sword" image has become a meme, the wording was actually "drawn sword." So maybe a search for those words instead would turn up more hits.

They say that when a celestial being with a +10 incendiary vorpal sword commands you to take a 14 year old hottie as a plural wife, both you and the hottie (though she never saw the aforementioned celestial warrior) had better listen. And no, in no way should such a scenario be viewed as an abuse of authority. We are talking about a +10 vorpal blade after all.
He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought—So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood a while in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! and through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.

Michael the Archangel. He has multiple identities in LDS theology.

So I told my wife that an angel with a drawn sword appeared unto me and command me take other wifes.....
She replied, "do it and you won't need an angel! I'll kill you myself!"

Wonder what the dream analysts would make of a drawn sword?

Well, my avatar has the sword pointing downward. One pointing upward just seemed too phallic.
