Re: Polygamy in the Bible

Does the NT say that Divorce is "SIN?"

I have great respect for the men in my life. I give them the proper respect and honor them. But I know I am dearly loved by God. I believe He wants what is best for me...and Polygamy AIN'T it!!!

Again what you believe and what the Word says might be in Contradiciton... all through scripture God recognized women through their fathers or husbands.... A woman could not enter the Covenant except by circumcision.. which could only be performed in a man... she was recognized in the Covenant through the MAN.. now we are talking about a GOD that NEVER CHANGES.... he recognizes the woman through her head.. either her Father or Husband.

Of course he loves you and he loves you when you understand his desire for women to helpers to their husbands and mothers to their children.. and worshiipers and prayer warriors.... but to say that Polygamy is somehow demeaning to a woman is failure to understand the benefits of Polygamy throughout history.. in this country alone if all the women wanted a husand it couldn't happen... their are 8 million more women than men..... and yet God tells a woman to have a husband..... how can it happen for those 8 million women? Polygamy

Dr. Vaughn,

May I ask - are you a UPC minister? Just curious... Are you a licensed minister? Are you a Mormon or Branhamite???

I can show you several quotes where you have equated it to sin.. you have said it is WRONG..... you have said is unthinkable to you that God is against it in the NT.... care to give me another meaning of SIN?

The argument here is that if you say Polygamy is WRONG because it wasn't so from the beginning then you must use the same textual argument for Divorce or either leave both of then alone....

Can we say liberal, feminist, anti Sola Scriptora mindset?

I am simply making the case as it is.... no matter what you have been trained to think.. if it opposes clear scriptural teachings... its Anti Word

I care about this neither way.. have one wife of 15 years and no desire for more.. but I will not be so closed minded as to promote my western mindset into the things of God.. as some are doing.... if you don't agree with it.. so be it but leave it out of the realm of it being WRONG

I totaly agree! It is one bride many members!
