    Biblical Polygamy?

    So, I have been having problems accessing and posting to the site, has anyone else had similar issues? Here is the best presentation of my argument, in a nutshell, that I can make. God created Adam, it was "not good" for him to be only, so God made Eve, and it was "very good." He commanded...

    Biblical Polygamy?

    For sake of argument, Let's say I want a dozen, Does whether, I want 0 or 1 or 2 or 12, mean that my arguments are invalid, I am assuming you accept Paul's opinions on marriage though he has no wife, Are my opinions on marriage automatically invalid because I have 12? Ad hominem argument?

    Biblical Polygamy?

    Thank you for your post, you have touched on a lot more than you may realize. I have honestly been approaching this subject with discernment and gentleness, ironically. I was not planning on going for the throat out of the gate, but seems to not be following my train of thought. So I will most...

    Biblical Polygamy?

    @everyone I am Achilles at the siege of Troy, you all wanted to talk about the ins and outs of marriage in the Bible not me. I will pose another question to you, two men one in a homosexual marriage one in bigamy, both want to continue their relationships as is also their partners agree and...

    Biblical Polygamy?

    Yes thank you for raising this point about 1 Corinthians, and I have two questions: 1. Are all commands in 1 Corinthians equal and applicable today? 2. Verse 20, so if a many us a polygynist, should he seek to not be?

    We are more alike than you think, “Surely, if I were not [Diogenes] I would be [Alexander].”

    Yes, I have even presented the traditional interpretation of Titus and 1 Timothy (though I disagree with it) because it is a point of reference for the church.

    Yes you are right, I posted this here by accident. Please, do better than me and discuss polygamy in the “biblical polygamy?” Thread.

    Biblical Polygamy?

    Yet again I will make it clear, I am presenting and argument that Christian’s can be polygynists, not that they should be polygynists. If a man with multiple wives all come to faith and some feel that they are called to stay and some that feel they are called to leave, I feel that they are both...

    Biblical Polygamy?

    How would you then answer these two objections, God hates divorce and why should he be obligated to provide for a woman he is not married to? Is a man who is obligated to provide for his baby momma, once he has joined the church? Why is it any different?

    let’s say you point to Titus and 1 Timothy, and he “yes I am disqualified from being a officer, but I am called to be a member.” You would say?

    New question, you are going into a job interview, the application says at the top, all answers are binding requirements. The job description reads, “A candidate must be punctual, have publish one book, have a strong work ethic…” you have published two books, are you disqualified from candidacy?

    Biblical Polygamy?

    “Roman did not fall from forces outside itself, but from forces within” I would say your philosophy on the subject aligns with Nero playing the fiddle as Rome burns. Why address this now after all when we can address it tomorrow?

    Biblical Polygamy?

    Okay my question still stands, a man wants to convert he has three wives (legal or colloquial) all want to continue this relationship, I am assuming you are saying they cannot, “so the man asks what must I do to be saved?” And you would say to him?
