What a sick group.
Ewwwwww!
bet those girls turn out to be fellas...
Two words: Leah, Rachel.
Yes they were sinning..but God overlooked their sin
Well, they’re already idiots. I don’t know about the being fellows bit. Ugh, sleeping with your sister’s husband right after your sister’s slept with him. Those women ain’t right.
Polygamy is its own punishment.
And David paid the price by having a VERY dysfunctional family with a lot of envy and anger
lol...you have to be careful in Thailand. Things are not always what they seem.;-)
Lucky guy. If there’s a conversation, he doesn’t have to be involved.
King David did a lot of things. He murdered, too, and offended God in many ways, and was judged. Once, when he numbered his people against God’s wishes, God killed over 30,000 Israelites in judgement against him.
We can’t base our lives on David, at least not on his sinful behavior. He did good and right things too, and was a believer.
We are Christians, not Davidians or Abrahamians.
God started with Adam and Eve, one man, one woman. He never changed it.
Mathew 19:6: “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” said Jesus.
Note, two. Not three or more.
Constant references to marriage law refer to one husband and one wife, both in the New Testament and the Old.
Ephesians 5:33
“However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.”
Note, not each one of you must love his wives, and the wives must respect their husband.
Note the requirements for being an elder:
Titus 1:6 “If a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination. . .”
Teaching regarding the relationship of marriage constantly reference one husband and one wife.
I am sorry I have to print out the fact that marriage is between one man and woman as ordained by God on Free Republic. I could cite a hundred or more Bible verses that directly teach or indirectly refer to the estate of marriage being between one man and one woman. It should not even be a question.
The polygamy practices of several (not all) of the patriarchs are shown as their downfall. Solomon was lost due to his pagan wives. The children of David’s several wives destroyed and divided the kingdom. Abraham’s polygamy set up the oldest ethnic rivalry on the planet, still working out today. Just because it is recorded in Scripture does not mean it is endorsed.
1 Corinthians 7:2 says, “Let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.” Polygamy is sinful for male or female. Women married to the same husband do not each have their own husbands.
And where is the lucky groom going to on his honemoon?
(Come on... You know....)
Please see my post 32.
I can’t believe I am even having to write this stuff out.
You’re making the mistake of assuming these people are Christians. They may very well not be.
And there’s only one mother-in-law!
We’re all sinners, yes. And he’s one lucky sinner!
