Thanks, Frederick. So glad to hear from another pastor! Yes, I have had my fill of "system" churches...which are no churches at all....Christianity has all but become a cultural religion in the US, no different then the Jews of Jesus' day. It...

Hello everyone! I wanted to introduce my wife and I. We are a couple in our 40s with 2 children and the Lord willing, more on the way. We are a homeschooling and homesteading family who has been through the battles of life, seen the heart of...

What they said! When our daughter married and her husband's family came out her mom in law to be a sis in law to be didn't know how they would feel about the other wife, her son, and the new baby daughter that were added since we had met them...

This. ;)

The ironic reality is that most of our practicing families are too busy to engage here as often as the rest of us would like. There are a few that may be able to chime in. This is a question that gets asked a lot. The best place to get answers...

P.S. I’ve since purchased “A Christian Defense of Polygamy Throughout The Centuries” by J.D. Langton, which is itself a compilation of several texts from Milton, Madan, et al, and am working my way through it. But to be honest, the real thing...

2nd Samuel 12:8 is what did it for me, last year when reading the Holy Scriptures through from cover to cover for the first time (to my shame), as I was baptized and have been walking with the LORD for about 18 years now. While my theological...

Honestly, you've never struck me as odd. You seem well grounded to me. ;)

A woman, now one of my wives, asked why there was a note in her study Bible condemning Lamech for having more than one wife since God never said it was wrong. I repeated all the usual (wrong) answers but got into studying the matter and came to...

As the oddball on the site, I have walked a different path to arrive at more or less the same place. When I met my wife, I was dating her friend. She and I hit it off and we're obviously very interested in her. After knowing her for a time, she...

The first glimmer of this truth hit me when I read 2nd Samuel chapter 12, verse 8. At that point (nearly 20 years ago), I realized polygamy isn't adultery. I didn't yet realize that it is completely legitimate, but I knew for certain that it...

After 2,000 years of church history and Greco-Roman and Church culture that denigrated polygyny, it is only by the grace of God that we are all here, understanding, believing, and trusting in His perfect wisdom and grace....I am generally curious...

Oh and why would Solomon be warning his son about the adulterous woman, while simultaneously having 999 of them?

Well God claimed that His two wives were adulterous, when He was the One who had two of them!!!!

Perhaps an editing error? Must the man be married? Any man engaging with a married woman not his own seems more precise.
