Bible Question:
I was watching the 700 club (please stay with me here) the other week, and they were talking about the Homosexual marriage movement, they then ended this discussion by acknowledging the next big wave in the attack on marriage. The founders refer to themselves as Christian polygamists, they claim their movement is legitimate because and I quote, "Polygamy is in the Bible. Polygamy is found throughout history. These facts prove that marriage's definition includes plural marriage. Polygyny is a far older traditional marriage than anti-polygamy." Well first of all there's a spelling mistake, so right-a-way I wouldn't be giving them too much credibility. But also did our Father not create Adam and Eve first, I mean it is not as if God created Adam and then created Mary Susan Eve and Beth. My question is what other evidence does the Bible have against this movement usefull for that of rebuking, i.e. God never condones polygamy, neither does he ever say "every man should be with that of only one wife". Now he does say in 1st Timothy and Titus that elders and Pastors should only have one wife, but never as a general rule of thumb, applicable to everyone. What are your thoughts on this matter also here is the url of the polygamists, if you wish to use it; http://www.truthbearer.org |
Bible Answer: Well, in 1 corinthians 7:4 it says we do not have power of our own body, but that power belongs to our spouse. If we have two spouses, then each one would have power over 50 percent of us, and if we had 5 spouses, then each spouse would have power over 20 percent of us. That is not a situation that lines up with God's inspired word, Agreed? Tim PS, I enjoy the 700 club as well, but with anything else that is on TV, you must take it in, and decide whether it lines up with God's truth or not. |
