    Polygamy?

    (Unorthodox Christian;45490) "Like Denver Said, Eve was made for Adam, One woman for one man." Well, it's a good thing DENVER said it, because God didn't. God said Eve for Adam. He didn't say One man, One woman, he in fact never says that anywhere.(Unorthodox Christian;45490) "Are you a...

    Polygamy?

    (stlizzy;45443) "Where is the example of God giving a man more wives who already have five?" Interesting, because you seem to conceed that if God gave a man another wife, who already had one, that would be ok. Is the number then five and no more?(stlizzy;45443) "If a man becomes one with his...

    Polygamy?

    (Lionroot;10839) "So you do or do not think Hugh and his alleged wives are whoremongers?" The problem for you chevy, is that if you say no, you've conceded my argument regarding Polygyny. If you say YES, you're OBLIGATED to show exactly how and it is no longer permissable for you to say "It's...

    Polygamy?

    (betchevy;10723) "So you do not legally marry these women? right?That is how you get around the issue of bigomy?" Without admitting to my current status, anyone can get around the issue of bigamy by simply not registering their relationships (marriages) legally. I could marry one under the law...

    Polygamy?

    I think what happened was I asked you a pertinent question regarding your Bible knowledge, and then you told me more than I needed to know about your personal life.(betchevy;10718) "Since you have asked me personal questions I would like to ask you one... Why ?" It continues to not...

    Polygamy?

    (B'midbar;10688) "This would be easier to understand if you made the analogy to be the husband representing God and the wives the worshipers, leaving the children out." Consider it done.(B'midbar;10688) "But I specified that Debbie was put aside because he disliked her family. This is not a...

I hope this answered your question..." It...

    Polygamy?

    Sorry. The bit about strangled meat' date=' which refers to eating meat with the blood is still operative in my view. That "Temporary Instruction" wasn't put into sunset. It was an emergency order. The Acts letter regarding fornication and such things was an admonition to stay away from the...

    (kriss;10505) "Biblically the word deacon does not necessarily mean what it does today if you are head of a family minister to them your believes supply their necessities of life technically you could be called a deacon.. The UNIVERSAL deaconate of MEN? This is new. Why select men as deacons...

    (arenamistica;10497) 1Timothy 3:2 - A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; I'm not a bishop.(arenamistica;10497) 1Timothy 5:9 - Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having...

    Polygamy?

    (B'midbar;10494) "I have a question for Hugh. You mentioned earlier to SwampFox that the polygamy/polygyny/monogomy/etc. issue is important. Why is it important?" First, we encounter cultures all the time that have Polygynous patterns of marriage that they consider normal. Why would we tell...

    Polygamy?

    (thesuperjag;10485) "That was a disgusting comment. It is a worldly comment." It was mildly sarcastic, and said to illustrate that someone calling me "outrageous" as a way of introducing themselves is a bit harsh. So to illustrate it I said "Thank you, I think your hair looks nice". As far as...

    Polygamy?

    (jamesrage;10188) "Again if Jesus only wanted to say divorce was okay he would have not needed to reference Genesis 2 23-24,the only scriptures he would have only needed to make reference to are the ones regarding divorce." You still do not say how it is Jesus is mandating monogamy, simply by...

    Polygamy?

    (jamesrage;10149) "Myth?That is absurd.When Jesus told the Pharisees why divorce is wrong, he explained the reason why.In explaining the reason why, he defined what marriage is as a result." Yes, he defined marriage as taking your female clone that resulted from assisted asexual budding. No...

    Polygamy?

    (jamesrage;9898) "If we look at Genesis and what Jesus said to the Pharisees regarding divorce it clear that marriage is between one man and one woman." An oft repeated myth. It is made more sure in the minds of it's adherants by it's mere repetition. Jesus speaks only of a marriage that...

    Polygamy?

    (kriss;9027) "In general the majority of wedding vows say at least the forsaking all others..." Those that have made such a vow should stick to it. I just want to be clear that no such vow exists in scripture and that it is completely unnecessary for marriage. God defines the marriage...
