Subject: Does God endorse polygamy? |
Bible Note: Hugh, I am not basing my arguments on what people thought. People think all kinds of strange things. Many people were polygamists, and even today, there are many who want to define marraige in all sorts of ways. Its only important what the Bible specifically says. So then you agree that if Genesis 2:24 declares marraige to be between one man and one woman, then Joash could not have been polygamist and have been declared to be right. Jesus when quoting Genesis is clearly using singular word forms - man, woman, the two become one - this seems pretty clear to me. Throughout Scripture, it is this view that is supported, not polygamy. I am somewhat flabbergasted that you are comparing me to a homosexual trying to make Scripture support homosexuality. I hope this is not an example of what we can expect from you in the future! Love in Christ, Mark |
