1 | Does God endorse polygamy? | 1 Kin 11:3 | Hugh McBryde | 175571 | ||
Yes, I do, it's clear that if you gain a large number of votes for a position being clear, it's clear. Jesus does not say that the Genesis account specifies one man and one woman for the purpose of upholding monogamy as the prefered form of marriage, Jesus makes the point in Matthew 19, that the thing that was NOT SO in the beginning, was marriages breaking up. He's making the point that Adam and Eve's bond was life long, not monogamous. |

2 | Does God endorse polygamy? | 1 Kin 11:3 | srbaegon | 175581 | ||
Hello Hugh, And the marriage referred to as not breaking up consisted of one man and one woman. And you have never answered my question--Do you believe that whatever the Bible does not specifically condemn is permissible to the believer? How many times and in how many ways must this be asked before you give a response? Steve |

Hugh is pointing out that the specific area Jesus was addressing was DIVORCE. That in the beginning DIVORCE was not so. What Hugh is pointing out is that Scripture had plenty of places to condemn polygyny, and did not. Had David divorced one of his wives, then he would have cause her to commit adultery, and thus broken the "from the beginning it was not so" I suppose somehow in all the self-righteousness of churchdom so many people feel so good now that they have made themselves better than men Scripture calls righteous. I suspect that's really what this is all about. Elevating one'self to somehow be better than someone Scripture called righteous figuring that if they are more righteous than David, Abraham, Gideon and Joash, that then they are guaranteed a place in heaven. Sure...... that'll work..... |
