Subject: Does God endorse polygamy? |
Bible Note: So maybe the actual church Swordman goes to allows polygynous marriage....... Is he OK then? After all, if he does have several wives, and did not get state licenses for more than one of them, he breaks no civil law. And if the church he goes to allows polygyny, then he breaks no laws of his church, thus is under their authority. And Scripture read as a whole does not condemn polygyny, so therefore he has not sinned, either. Where, then, is the problem? |
