Subject: Does God endorse polygamy? |
Bible Note: Yes, I do, it's clear that if you gain a large number of votes for a position being clear, it's clear. Jesus does not say that the Genesis account specifies one man and one woman for the purpose of upholding monogamy as the prefered form of marriage, Jesus makes the point in Matthew 19, that the thing that was NOT SO in the beginning, was marriages breaking up. He's making the point that Adam and Eve's bond was life long, not monogamous. |
