I personally think it is good to talk about such topics as this because it lays out many of the ideas that people have. In christianity today there is a tendency to not wish to talk about difficult subjects for fear of shunning. Here on forums such as this shunning does not really have as much...

Z wrote, "If polygamy is NOT a cultural issue, then why is it that we don't have any directions against it in Scripture, other than one or two fragmented verses which can don't really prove much except that polygamy did take place and was regulated?" Very valid point...well said.

Wow, so you think I am a Mormon? That is funny. I am a spirit filled penticostal Christian...I would never be a Mormon. I suppose you might have assumed that because I preach Tabernacle theology you perhaps equated me with Mormon temples? Mormonism is totally oppressive. Rex, In a...

I consider Christ the firstborn from the dead because I believe he was the first to be raised and glorified. I do not consider myself a prophet. I would not wish that on anybody.

Hi Rex, I do not know why you wish to make this a personal issue with me. I thought we were talking about whether or not this type of marriage was sin or not from a biblical stand point. Do you accuse everyone who is studied up on a subject of partaking in it? I think not and perhaps it...

Hi All, You know, just because you cannot find something in the NT does not mean it does not exist. The New Testament was written over the space of less than 70 years compared with a few millennium of the Old Testament. Consequently, if you are gong limit your viewpoint of God to that narrow...

Firstborn From the Dead (tabernacle theology series) by Justin Mangonel In the book of Revelation we read, "Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the...

Polygamy is a cultural issue. God does not really care the number of women you have as long as you treat them well.

The whole denomination of Legio Maria for one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legio_Maria What is your point? That this type of marriage is not widespread? Or that it is not accepted?

The Challenge for Tabernacle Theologians By Justin Mangonel When you built a structure in ancient times you needed many different types of craftsmen. A particularly important type of craftsmen was a stone mason. They were responsible for cutting out the stones from the native rock and...

But What Sayest Thou? It is written, "And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned...

i think it is a really big number...I think it may just be saying too numerous to count. I think that each person has a unique ability to show forth a part of God and also to have a special relationship with Him. So, I think God believes the more people their are to show His glory thourgh and...

Hi All, I think I do come of strong sometimes and I am hoping that I can moderate my tone to that of a reasonable person. Ax, being as I deal with a lot of families in Africa that have more than one wife I can attest from persona experience as to the prevelance of it. Most people from the...

Hi Ax, Really, the truth is out there Scully. Having been in Africa, where this practice is widespread, people are teaching it because it is relevant. This should be relevant to people ministering to Muslims too. Historically, this type of marriage was practice among the Jews and in some...

I agree with you. Well said.

I don't see why the scripture I quoted was unclear. If these three people are alive and with God obviously God approves of them. God obviously does not exclude those who have more than one wife. To me this is a "proof text" on this subject. In fact, it seems that God prefers men who have...

Hey TRex, I am just discussing the theology of this question from a Biblical standpoint. I suppose that my issue with the stand that many western Christian's take on this subject is that it discriminates against a significant part of humanity. Even though this type of marital arrangement...

Hi Witness, I believe that Paul was saying just that. If you read the context he is talking about qualifications. Running a household well was seen to be indicative of one’s ability to handle the job of bishop or deacon. Making it a requirement to have only one wife really makes little...

New Heavens and New Earth by Justin Mangonel I want to talk with you about a revelation that God has given me concerning the New Heavens and New Earth. This truth is meant to be an encouragement to those who are working hard for the kingdom of God. Surely Jesus is coming and His reward...

Hi PW, Nice to meet you. I suppose as people enter into the Tabernacle experience it may cause a good number of them to congregate together because of the shared experience. That is what happened with the spiritual fulfillment of the first two feasts. I find fellowship where I can...
