You are the one that brought God into a selfish story to somehow make it sound more kosher and now you are trying to blame me for pointing that out! Why don’t you just admit that you are wrong here?

I answered a hypothetical question posed in Post 3

It’s a toss up as to which deviance the left will try to mainstream next — polygamy or pedophilia.

I made a comparison of the degree to which God condemns six wrong things.

1, Slavery.
2. Execution for nonviolent crime.
3. Genocide of the losing population in war.
4. Divorce.
5. Fornication.
6. Polygamy.

I submitted an observation that while all of those things are wrong, certain of those show more mercy than others and are less condemned in the bible. My best guess, answering which wrong thing listed in post three would be the next to be mainstreamed by the left was that Polygamy would be next, as society has already mainstreamed two other improper relationships (numbers 4. & 5.) which are more severely condemned than Polygamy.

I did not address pedophilia as I believe it to be as bad a sin as abortion, which has also already been mainstreamed.

You seem to be upset that I maintain that Fornication and Divorce are more strongly condemned in scripture than Polygamy.

Please list for me each place in Scripture where Divorce, Fornication, and Polygamy are specifically addressed.

With that list in mind, you and I can address which is more strongly condemned.

Is it your contention that no sin is more strongly to be avoided than any other sin?
