i like the solution that your post suggests... that of believers accepting polygyny as valid marriage and encouraging women toward lawful (according to YHWH) marriage.
I love
@MeganC connecting this to government because many people have expectations of government...and churches ....maybe because of rose colored idealistic....unreasonable assumptions. They give those "authorities" credit....too much credit....assuming that first they are authorized by the Most High... then that their intentions are to serve Him.
Reading that paper linked here called "The Esau Affect (Effect?) Was eye opening for me. I saw that every government man has made is idolatry and the horrific damage they cause to the world in REPLACING what YHWH authorized with man made CRAP.
YHWH Authorised a Patriarchal Theocracy.
Man wanted a king.....then to tell "the king" his limits (republic) the people get the government they deserve....and they rejected YHWH.
THE CHURCH should not exist as it does BECAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE NO AUTHORITY OUTSIDE IF WHAY YHWH AUTHORIZED.
This thing called church should not advise young women in marriage!! That is her father's job!!!
Basically the only purpose of church is fellowship. . And perhaps caring for the poor.
IN THE CONTEXT OF FELLOWSHIP there is a responsibility ON EVERY MAN to hold other MEN accountable for their actions.....making sure that teaching and behavior are SUBJECT to YHWH.
The churches should be helping in this regard.
They should accept polygyny.
The churches would rather they go out into the world,
Because they serve the modern HUMANISTIC (human so called values) Baal system.
So if the churches are in submission to His Word (Yeshua is the Word made flesh) - they would teach the truth on biblical marriage - and thereby these women wouldn’t be sinning, but helping grow the kingdom.
But they are NOT. They serve another self made/man made God.
Ted Weiland has an audio called "Could you be a disciples of Baal...and not know it. Or something like that. He also wrote a book Bible Law v the US Constitution.
These help you flip your thinking from "The churches should..." to realizing we give them too much credit and submit to them as authorities.....when we aught to be calling them to repentance from the door like the prophet of old!! "How long halt ye between two opinions? If YHWH be God then SERVE HIM!"
DO what He authorized!
Thy Kingdom come
