1 | Does God endorse polygamy? | 1 Kin 11:3 | Morant61 | 68549 | ||
Greetings Don! Four walls! That's bad! :-) 1) Regarding laws: So, are you saying my friend that because something is legislated in the Old Testament that God approves of the legislated activity? How about Ex. 21:22? Since God legislated the action of hitting a pregnant woman, and didn't specifically say that we shouldn't do it, then God approves of it? :-) I say it respectfully, but I still say that you are doing exactly what you accuse others of doing - reading into the silence of Scripture what you what it to say. Where is the specific command and/or statement which says that a man can marry more than one woman? 2) 'Mia': In what way were your comments takend out of context or ignored? I simply made the point that 'mia' is the feminine form of 'one' and that 'one' is the usual translation, not 'first'. I'm just curious! :-) 3) New Jerusalem: Rev. 19 never identifies the Bride of the Lamb, but Rev. 21:9-10 specifically identifies the bride of the Lamb as being the city New Jerusalem. It is an interesting study. I have always heard of the Bride of Christ as being the Church, but was surprized to discover that the phrase never occurs in Scripture. 2 Cor. 11:2 is the closest I could find. Have a great day! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

I think the "bride of Christ" idea finds its support in Ephesians 5, even though the term is not used. --Joe! |

Greetings Joe! I concur! I was just surprized that it wasn't used as much or as clearly as I thought it might be! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

I just started looking more in-depth at this myself when my kooky mother-in-law came to me with her fanciful notion that the "bride of Christ" is a faithful subset of all Christians, and not the church itself. I was as surprised as you seem to be. Just goes to show what we can take for granted... --Joe! |
