Lucifer (Satan) is Monogamous

[MeganC]

The thing is, I suspect that most plyg families are simply not interesting or controversial or full of enough drama to be interesting to read about.

That was my observation a long time ago is that most of the thing about poly is decidedly domestic. Cooking, chores, child care, and etc. are up front and center. The secular world focuses on the sex but while that is a part of the life the majority of daily life isn't all that exciting.

I guess that's part of why when I hear from ostensibly poly people it's the ones who don't have much drama going on who I tend to more quickly accept as grounded.

"I can barely handle one woman", "it would only be fun for one night" and "who would want more than one wife" etc etc.

Sure...great, got it. You don’t want more than one wife. Thing is, a close second to the don't want to live polygamy opinion in my experience is the inevitable bit about how many wives/girlfriend one has had in a string of serial monogamy relationships.

Yes, it’s sad to see professed believers of Messiah preferring the light of Lucifer over the flesh of Messiah - which is the everlasting and unchanging word of God.

It's not just spiritual.

It's laziness, lies/false assumptions by society etc...

People to often assume other sex is thinking like theirs. They they get hit by reality. Add refusal to learn sexuality specific skills which many think they aren't needed.

And behold in few years, some guys find wife, happy just because some women wants him....why have another when he is barely able to function with one.

My wife found a couple of ladies on Youtube that represent that calm, eyes wide open kinda relationship you are describing. They discuss it over tea in their chats that they share with the world...

The Alldredge Adventure

Share your videos with friends, family, and the world

This is the type of content that I think is normalizing....

The Alldredge's are good people, good friends of ours. I even get talked about in their Q&A.

1 Timothy 4:1
1 Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons.

2 They will forbid marriage.

Who is the King of the demons? Lucifer/Satan. The Creator says - which is repeated by the Apostles - that Lucifer is the god of the (rebellious) house of Israel. Not the remnant House of Israel that remained faithful:

Acts 7:42:43
Was it to me you were bringing sacrifices and offerings during those forty years in the wilderness, oh House of Israel?

No, you carried your pagan gods— the shrine of Molech, the star of your god Rephan, and the images you made to worship them. So I will send you into exile as far away as Babylon.’

Rephan is the god of Saturn. Also, Lucifer/Satan is the god of Saturn. Saturnalia - which was an ancient Roman holiday (celebrated mid-Dec) - was in honor of the god of Saturn. Rome is monogamous in honor of the god of Saturn.

I just happened upon this thread, and found it interesting. I have recently been pondering an adjacent topic- namely how the Watchers of Genesis 6 came down and bred with human women to create the hybrid/defiled race of the Nephilim.

While it isn't biblical Canon (even though some church fathers advocated for it, and the Bible quotes it verbatum at least twice), the book of 1 Enoch goes into detail about how the "Watcher Angels" left heaven and defiled the human race by sleeping with their women- specifically how each (supposedly 200 in number) chose one wife for themselves:

1 Enoch 7:

1​

And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms ​

2​

and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. And they ​

3​

became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed ​

4​

all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against ​

5​

them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and ​

6​

fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.​

I absolutely do not side with the notion of monogamy itsself being evil, but it is interesting that 1 Enoch specifies this evil event (known by theologians as the second divine rebellion) as being based on a series of unholy monogamous unions between angels and the daughters of men. I think this point is only really applicable in response to people's assumptions that polygamy only results in evil. With Genesis 3 also in mind, it's clear that the first two Divine rebellions actually came from monogamous relationships, even if not a direct result from monogamy itself. Just sayin.

When discussing marriage, it gives me particular pleasure to point out that it was a MONOGAMOUS couple who brought sin, suffering, and death into the human race. I also like to stress the fact that it was a MONOGOMOUS couple whose son became the first murderer. Emphasizing the fact it was monogamy helps take the wind out of their sails.
