They use Peter because they believe Peter was given the keys, and with those keys they can add or take away whatever they like (through Apostolic Succession). Of course, Peter quoted the prophet Isaiah in his own letters, which said that the word...

Sadly, kinda like leftists proclaim they "support the Bill of Rights..."

Mistranslations and the move to dynamic equivalence in translations has led many people unwittingly into a faulty understanding of what was originally communicated by God in His Word. Yes, there are those who knowingly and deliberately have led...

That's what I figured you meant. They aren't really using Peter. They are using their misinterpretation of Christ's word to Peter. Unfortunately Protestantism is so broad, that the word has become virtually meaningless. You can always find...

How precisely does Rome use Peter to undermine the rest of the Bible, or patriarchy and polygyny in particular? Yes, they misinterpret something Christ once said to Peter, to try to give undue authority to their organization and leaders. I...

MemeFan, I believe the "teenage son" is the son of Ell's mentor, not the son of Ell herself. It seems like Ell is a relatively young woman still living with her family, not a single mother in her 30s or 40s. I also initially had some confusion...

Roman Catholicism has some seriously anti marriage beliefs and practices. I refer not only to polygynous marriage, but also marriage in general. Rome prohibits various individuals from marrying when the Bible does not. In doing this she sins...

Yeah, or be a promiscuous liberal lefty with a harem and all is good. But take responsibility for an additional wife and whooaaa...!!

That is what its like in Australia. We have strong laws against legal plural marriages but we open gates for Muslims to enter and now they have to adjust or fall back on family law to settle disputes in an existing plural marriage which they are...

Yes it is. Polygyny is legal and accepted amongst Muslims, mostly not even being questioned. Funny thing is, some people think I must be Muslim but when I tell them I'm a Christian, suddenly being polygynous is wrong. 🤣

This book was written in the late 1800`s. I found it on Thriftbooks.com but there may be free reads out there. IMO it`s a good read. Learned a few things.

Thanks Off-Grid. I'm glad you are aware, and raised the issue that the father is the proper one to talk to, even if it hasn't yet worked out that way. It also sounds like Elll comes from an intact and generally loving family, even if some members...

Her father is a carpenter who is "quiet," according to the young man I had the call with. I told him straight that it should be her father in this position if we were having a biblical discussion, and he just told me her dad is quiet. I danced...
