Subject: Does God endorse polygamy? |
Bible Note: Swordman: I, the author of the original question of this thread, am a Southern Baptist too, but I don't hold a pro-polygamy view, and you are the first Southern Bapist (if that's what you indeed really are) that I ever heard of who does. I would like to point out with emphasis and vigor that the views you expressed in your post do not reflect the view of the Southern Baptist Convention, its leadership, nor the "Baptist Faith and Message." You may call yourself a Southern Baptist, sir or madam, but in your views on polygamy, you are definitely a maverick in my estimation. ..... P.S. I could and perhaps should say more, especially to the end of letting the Bible itself unravel "the many wild threads hanging loose" in your post, but the hour is late, I'm getting to be an old man, and must get my rest. Besides, Joe has made an excellent start in the unraveling process and, God willing and if the occasion arises, I may yet take a yank at some of the many wild threads still hanging loose in your pro-polygamy post. Have a nice day. Southern Baptist? Hmmm. --Hank |
