Subject: Does God endorse polygamy? |
Bible Note: It is good to hear from you, Tim. I quoted only those portions of that commentary that dealt directly with the misinterpretation of "husband of one wife". I did not say that the writers were pro-polygamy, only that any attempt to utilize Titus and 2 Timothy as being anti-polygamy is actually not in keeping with the Greek. One other member of this forum acknowledged my intellectual honesty for not trying to make the authors out to be pro-polygamy. There are MANY more portions of that commentary that I could have quoted, but we are all limited to only 5000 characters in this forum. I hope that answers your question.
