I don't think that was what Dr. V meant.

I think we "stare" at two gays, at least in part, because the Holy Ghost in us is repulsed - but that is a different subject.

Dora...being a wife as you know it didn't exist biblically. Frankly, as a woman you didn't even have a right to speak in church for many centuries...and you definitely would have had no vote or say in how your home was run.
Truth is Dora, a woman in biblical times would have wondered if you thought it best if they be slaves (commonly abused) and prostitutes over being protected and cared for wives in the household of a godly Israelite man.

Dora....I don't remember anyone supporting anything homosexual. And in response to your question I offered a rather lengthy explaination of the pain and damage polyamory can cause.

The fact you can offer no scripture that say he DOES is proof enough that he does not.. God had NO PROBLEM saying what he considered abominations.. what he despised and my freind Polygamy was never in that list... he despised men who treated their wives unfaily in Polygamy

So far the good Doctor has offered NO SCRIPTURE to support his fictitious doctrine. Until he does, his post is little more than a sad imaginary tale. What I don’t understand though is why is he's so dedicated to arguing for it???
