Subject: Does God endorse polygamy? |
Bible Note: Hugh - It strikes me as a trifle odd that for your initial post to Study Bible Forum you would pick from the archives a question that was posed well over five years ago during the very early days of this Forum. Given the subject of the question and your stand on polygamy, it causes me to wonder exactly why you choose this Forum. If, as it now appears, it is to promote an agenda, the agenda being polygamy, you may as well fold now and quietly leave. If you come to this place to study God's word with the rest of us without riding a theological hobby horse that you happen to favor, fine, welcome. But you may as well know from the start that the eyes of many users are upon you and we fully expect you to comply with the stated guidelines for posting to this Forum. As a case in point: Your remarks about Joseph and Jesus in your second post are out of line. No one can possibly document this kind of argument from Scripture. It is pure speculation based on nothing but hot air and that sort of thing goes beyond acceptable limits of this Forum. Frankly, Hugh, you're off to a rather bad start. Please review the guideliness and pay particular attention to the feedback you're getting from long-time users who have responded to your posts. I wish you well. --Hank |
