Subject: Does God endorse polygamy? |
Bible Note: Maybe his norm is the regular people. At least 5 of the hero's of faith listed in Hebrews had multiple wives. But he's right, these people weren't normal, they were heros of faith. So maybe polygyny is only for people who's faith is above normal? Sorry...... couldn't resist |
