Hmm, when an "under age" girl is "duped" into marriage with an older man and the older man is monogamously married to her, this is OK?

I still say you can't get around the fact that Eve is named the mother of all living. Therefore there are no other humans that didn't come from Eve. Cain marries his sister, or the daughter of one of his immediate siblings. I'd make allowance for the idea that Cain could have married several...

She has to be either Cain's sister or niece. Eve is named the "mother of all living" so either Seth has a daughter, or Abel, and Cain marries that woman, or Cain marries another of Adam's daughters.It wasn't incest for the simple reason that such relationships had not yet been forbidden as they...

(watt;56575) "Polygamy had become so widespread that it had ceased to be regarded as a sin, but it was no less in violation of the law of GOD, and it is fatal to the sacredness and the peace of family relations." EXCEPT, you cannot show where it WAS named a sin.

The business down in Texas pretty much confirms that despite the public pronouncements of Government Officials to the contrary, Polygyny is not illegal. I know that comes as a surprise to a lot of you and the Attorney General of your state DOESN'T want you to know that, but it's true.

(FoC;53360) "Tolerated' seems to fit a bit better. Just as He 'tolerates' divorce where it needs to happen.Doesnt mean that He WANTED it to be that way. This is sickening BS. Where do you PULL that stuff from FoC?There IS NOT ONE SINGLE PLACE WHERE GOD EXPRESSES HIS DISPLEASURE OVER...

I'm still amazed at those that think God cares how we feel when it comes to deciding what is right or wrong. That was all decided from before the foundations of time. God isn't waiting around to see how we will react.The truth is that if we don't LIKE something God has ordained as true and...

(Beano;46139) "Ephesians 5:23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body." And?(Beano;46139) "Ephesians 5:28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself." Your...

You're free to feel what you want, I can't control it. I can say it's not important and scold you for injecting your sadness into a conversation about what God says.Your feelings show that not ever thought has been made captive FoC, in addition, you maintain a right to be disappointed in God...

It's immature to realize that something is completely moral, and then sigh about how sad it makes you. I don't recognize your freedom or mine to feel as we wish about that which God declares to be righteous.This is not like an execution of a killer, which would make us sad in some way. This is...

Ok, as my usual self I've still got to ask you why it's sad. If God sees it as marriage, merely another form of marriage, neither better nor worse than any other form, then why is it sad?Otherwise, I'd like an answer to why you think it's worse than monogamy because pretty much that's what your...

Ultimately FoC, our points of view are only of interest if someone WANTS to know what we think. I don't care what you think, what I think is unimportant as well. What GOD thinks is important, and I think the jury is in for you. It is now up to you to submit to God fully and admit that...

When do we admit that if God had opportunity to comment negatively, many many many times over thousands of years, and did not, that he did not because he meant to. Namely, he has nothing to say or he would have said it.This ultimately cannot be "Sad". It has to be admitted that it was God's...

Make the points yourself. I won't play "cut and paste" wars with authors that will not defend their own views. If "Glenn Miller" would show up and debate me, but he will not, I would pay attention, but even Glenn Miller is plagiarizing Matthew Henry.

My study of scripture has put the concept of many in between the two numbers 18 and 80. At least when it comes to wives. A Hebrew king was enjoined from having "many" wives. No other such person was so enjoined.
