    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Sex is a great and wonderful thing that God created. When two people have sex they become one flesh and become married, to that one person. Not many people realize this, they believe they need to go to church and have a priest ordained it. I wish I knew that when I was younger... I probably...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    There are people out there who think it is okay to have sex with children. That is not right, ... there are many people falling into the line because of the people in the old testament doing polygamy that it is okay for them to do today. In the end I believe it hurts people, and really makes a...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Im just asking is it really loving to have sex with one wife, and have sex with the other. That is the overall question. Does God approve of this? or did God make a template in the Garden, one man and one wife. That is all I am looking to be found in being answered @JohnDB. Man can say a lot...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Maybe I'll look into it, I wish you were more on spot about your knowing for sure cause it just leaves it up in the air, either you are right or your wrong, but if God wanted people to be in polygamy, perhaps he would have made an extra female rather than just eve. Yahava got upset with his...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Perhaps they are hired workers, Steven. You bring up a good point about slaves, Paul talks about becoming slaves to righteouseness. Romans 6:15-23 New International Version Slaves to Righteousness 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! 16...

    Why do alot of Christian denominations have a problem with looking into the Past for the return of Christ?

    All that we are waiting for then is death, ultimately. May you continue to serve Yahava with joy. You can believe whatever you would like to concerning what is on your heart. I still love you too. I believe there is no great tribulation that anyone is going to experience other than the gnawing...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Okay, I dont trust you on the notion of that it was mandated by Law if it is not in the Torah. I understand what it was like back then, but I would like to see where God approved of polygamy if it is possible because I do not believe he ever did, but he allowed people to make choices to what...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Can you prove that Polygamy was mandated by the law? What law? Mans law or God's law? I would like to see it.

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    God made the template in the garden whether one wants to follow it or not is on them. God allowed people to make their own choices to be married to more than one person if they wanted to however, it just caused problems in the end. That is what should be noted when it comes to this subject...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    To answer your question, I would say no. Jesus was coming back to get a pure, spotless, bride, and they were people who faithfully laid their lives down for Christ. I believe that because of this being the bride of Christ which Yeshua would come back, there would be no fault, or polygamy in it.

    WWJD with LGBTQ?

    The Law is good, its for the lawless and rebellious, according to what Paul wrote to Timothy. 1 Timothy 1:3-11. 3As I urged you on my departure to Macedonia, you should stay on at Ephesus to instruct certain men not to teach false doctrines 4or devote themselves to myths and endless...

    WWJD with LGBTQ?

    The more a person desires after Yahava, and look towards Him, I am sure they will feel some type of way when they do wrong to their neighbor, lash out in hatred, and things of that nature that comes from our own nature to do. Greed, lust, so on and so forth. Going along with faithlessness isn't...

    We Can't Stop Sinning?

    Because we are not the Word of God made flesh. Now that the Spirit of Christ dwells within us, there is aspect of help in which leads us to do the right thing, however I body may desire differently. From the course of my life from what use to be done as a younger adolescent, and now towards...

    Are Christians Sinners?

    Robert, I have heard "There is none righteous, no, not one" relates back to pslams, which infers there is no one righteous at all who doesn't believe in Yahava, or God. Have you ever heard this before?

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    There are many people that try to do this today, I could only imagine how hard it is to handle to juggle around multiple wives, even multiple families, going back and forth and keeping things either out in the open or completely secret. Many boyfriends, and girlfriends, try to get another member...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Having two wives always caused more problems. Remember when Sarah was like, well its taking a little while, let's go ahead and give you this maidservant to sleep with and have a son. Then Sarah was indignant when the maidservant got preganant and was mean to her. There was also the mother of...

    Why do alot of Christian denominations have a problem with looking into the Past for the return of Christ?

    Yahava had part of the earth destroyed in Ad70, it was the Jews heaven and earth. Everything they had burned down to the ground, even the second temple. I believe during these happenings Jesus did come back and grab his bride. I do not believe in a literal 1000 years.... 1 day is like a thousand...

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    Perhaps he heard the Spirit and the bride. The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price. What is assured Yahava, will judge people, fairly, rightly, and to me even...
