So I will modify my analogy again, there is a convert from the FLDS who has three common law wives and a convert from Africa or the Muslim world who has three legal wives. Each wife has at least on child by their “husbands” all of them were married in one ceremony at the same time. Two of three...

A sentiment that I have heard from multiple sources within my home congregation is that a man may not practice polygyny under any circumstance, so if he marries one, then two, then three women, he must divorce the second two and be obligated to the first. But then you have church require a form...

Do you agree with this practice by the church in Africa? Do you think it aligns with biblical principles?

Thank you for your response, in this scenario the wives and the husband want to continue in this arrangement. The man is a convert not saying women are irrelevant, but to be inclusive let’s say two of the three women are also converts, this way, we still have the problem of believes not...

There is a lot there you have asked and I do believe that we can investigate the supernatural and paranormal without partaking in the rest (occult and witchcraft). I have seen a ghost and I wonder if a man I keep running into is possessed by a demon, and I also believe in phenomena such as...

Correlation is not causation, I believe that the witch had powers, for instance she saw through Saul’s disguise, but Samuel could have come on his own accord or been sent by God. But the fact that the witch was more concerned with Saul than Samuel makes me think she thought she had summoned the...

So, the question is what do we do with converts who are polygynists? If you go into the third world or direct a ministry to a cult like the FLDS, And a man who has three wives comes to Christ, what is he to do with his three wives?

Again I would like to make it clear, that I am arguing that a man can have more than one wife, not that he should have more than one wife. This conversation thread I created because you all wanted to talk about polygamy in the thread where I wanted to talk about the mandate for an officer in the...

So, the question is what do we do with converts who are polygynists? If you God into the third world or direct a ministry to a cult like the FLDS, And a man who has three wives comes to christ, what is he to do with his three wives? Common arguments I hear are: 1. Stay married, but cannot pursue...

I am assuming you are asking me how many wives I have. Currently none, I am at the beginning stages of courting a woman.

Clergy is to have one wife, yes that is my point, but you are trying to say clergy is to only have one wife. Paul was called not to have one wife, and if you guys want, I can reveal who was called in the scriptures to be a polygynist, but it will be a red pill moment you will never be able to...

I can appreciate where you are coming from, but you are putting the cart before the horse. "An Overseer must be...the husband of one wife..." My argument is not that polygyny can or should be practiced and I have said that most men should not practice it. My argument is that this section of...

@everyone I have an odd way of processing information, and I do appreciate everyone’s time and thoughts on the subject. I have kind of bit down and locked my jaw on this, and I do believe that the vast majority of believers read these texts and glaze over them taking their meaning for granted...

I appreciate you loving rebuke, but whether I say “I” or the “text” doesn’t change whether my argument is valid or not.

18 I warn everyone who hears the words ofthe prophecy of this book: pif anyone adds tothem, God will add to him the plaguesdescribed in this book, 19 and if anyone takesaway from the words of the book of thisprophecy, God will take away his share inqthe tree of life and in rthe holy city...

Where does it say “per” in the text?

I am saying that whether Paul believed that there are exceptions or not he has communicated a mandate for an officer to be married, and if that is not binding, none of it is binding, but to apply this criteria we should approach as a ballpark figure with liberal (generous) exegesis
