Subject: Does God endorse polygamy? |
Bible Note: I'd like to see the historical documentation you have to prove this claim that polygyny was not practiced in 1st century Judea. If not, they why would Paul have mentioned it in reference to deacons and bishops? And why in 1 Cor 5:1 that a son took his father's wife? She wasn't his mother, obviously, or that would have been stated. Yeah, I know, now you are going to say that the first wife died. It's OK, go ahead. 2 Cor 7 seems to show this situation resolved. Careful on your allegations. As far as the homosexuality thing, there was no need to comment on that. The Torah that Yah'shua and Paul followed was VERY clear on that matter, and nobody was disputing this. |
