So if the prophet tells you that he is reinstituting polygamy and that God has called him to wed your wife and you should be best man at the wedding. You'd happily get divorced and turn up and be best man at the wedding? (see Orson Pratt/Sarah Pratt history, I am not picking sides just saying that might have been a possibility.)

Could a prophet or bishop tell you to do something you know to be wrong and do you expect God to absolve you simply because you were told to do it?

I know that Abraham went to sacrifice Isaac but that was a direct command from God, he had a personal conviction/testimony. But doing something that I felt convicted was wrong because a Pastor/Priest/Prophet told me is not something I could comprehend.
