Huh??

I didn't say that. I said ....before the fall, and after the fall. Did God create Adam and Eve, Ava, Evelyn, Bonnie, Deborah, and Cheryl?? lol No, He didn't. He created one man, Adam ....and one woman, Eve. And He set the precedence. Even after the flood, God started with 4 men and each of them...

The family is after the image of God. It confirms it. It doesn't lessen it's value ....it actually places even more value on the design.

Every woman I've known and actually, men who are devout and studious in scripture, and devoted to their families.... have expressed these same scriptural beliefs.

In the OT, after the fall, many things came about that were not according to God's original design. Scripture actually does give us the perfect design God intends. Genesis 2:24 [24]Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one...

God's original design was one man and one woman. Polygamy came after the fall. Sin brings people away from God's design. Polygamy is not a product of love. It is a product of brokenness and lust ....and it genders strife, division, and confusion.

But you believe scripture advocates or allows for it..... ? (I disagree.)

Why can't it go both ways? What's good for the man is good for the woman. Clarify if you want to ....

So ....some of you men here seem to advocate the idea of men taking sex slaves. Am I right?

Nope.

Titus 2:4 [4]That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, Edit: I actually said "women" ...that is how the scripture words it. So I guess women who aren't married can have men that are married ("husbands") ....because that's what it says...

There are many many things that are common. That doesn't mean that God ordains it.

I showed you the original meaning. Read the Word and take it for what it says. Period. How much of what you're projecting is just today's so-called "values" imposed on the Biblical text??

You're reading way too much into the scripture. When you have one plural ("husbands") you would pluralize the other ("wives"). Ephesians 5:25 [25]Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; In context, if you read the rest of the verse, Christ and...

Although the KJV says "fornication" the word in the Greek has a broader meaning that includes adultery, harlotry, incest, and idolatry. Greek: πορνεία Transliteration: porneia Pronunciation: por-ni'-ah Definition: From G4203; harlotry (including adultery and incest); figuratively idolatry: -...

Amen. Can you connect this with forgiveness? Proverbs 1:7 [7]The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 9:10 [10]The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Yes, it is the...

This is a start.... but once you move into love, it is less of a chore. We can maybe get by with just doing the basics ....or not? Jesus says that if we only go as far as obeying commands for the sake of obeying, we are an unprofitable servant. Luke 17:7-10 [7]But which of you, having a...

I've experienced both. And where it comes to people who have harmed my children and grandchildren, it is not as easy. But God has helped me to turn my anger toward satan instead, and see these people as victims of satan ....and that enables me to pray for them. And during prayer (which I did/do...

Furthermore ...what we have freely received from God, we are to freely give. We saw this in Peter's testimony as well. I've shared this at length before, but in short (hopefully), Peter was a changed man after his experience in the storm when Jesus commanded the disciples to "get into the boat...

It's God's love that enables us to love and forgive others. We love Him because He loved us first. Christ's love in us enables us to love others. The same with forgiveness. I've experienced this. These scriptures confirm the link between love and forgiveness. 2 Corinthians 2:1-11 [1]But I...
