Subject: Does God endorse polygamy? |
Bible Note: I will repeat myself AGAIN: I never said that God "endorsed" polygamy. The main thrust of my argumentation has been that God did not command AGAINST a plaurlity of wives. He never declared it to be sin nor did He declare it to be against His perfect will. Most of the arguments presented to me are rooted in what is known as "natural law" rather than the "written Law". When one rests his case solely upon the basis of "natural law", he is resting his case upon a foundation that is subjective rather than objective. Nobody can possibly otherwise convince those whose case is built upon a shifting foundation of subjectivity. The greatest of athletes cannot win at a game whose rules change like the wind. Now, the rest of your post I will not answer due to the spirit of your message. Your ungracious and unChristian accusation of my allegedly leading a "sinful, lustful lifestyle" clearly does not warrent a response. A question mark at the end does not make your tone any more acceptable and gracious. You do not know me nor do you know how I live. You can attempt to usurp the Throne of Christ, but I think you will find that you are pitting yourself against an impossible acquisition. Quite simply, your questions in this most resent post to me are not worthy of an answer when you conduct yourself in such an ungodly manner..... Good day..... Don Dean |
