Subject: Does God endorse polygamy? |
Bible Note: Hello Don You stated: "Besides, I never said that polygamy is God's ideal for marriage, as many have assumed concerning my position. I also never claimed that God 'endorsed' polygamy." These are surprising statements considering the vigor of your defense. Also according to your words, people who are in polygomous relationships are knowingly outside of God's perfect will. A verse comes to mind: James 4:17 (ESV) So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. Steve |
