Subject: Does God endorse polygamy? |
Bible Note: No, adultery is not defined as someone other than your spouse. No I cannot produce references for this, since I cannot prove the negative. Please provide YOUR source for such an assertion. As far as your other question goes, it's somewhat off topic. Neither of us want to get into a war over what the other does that isn't prohibited by scripture, that we do. I don't think you know exactly where that line is drawn, nor do I. Polygyny is a bit different, there are numerous examples of it's continuing and rather "in your face" practice, and this is accompanied by ZERO condemnation. This is entirely unlike the LORD not saying anything about meth use, or flying on an airplane. The best reply I can give along those lines is that Intoxication is frowned on, and taking man made transportation never is. Hugh |
