As the battle for marriage equality rages on, a different, more obscure kind of sexual immorality is slowly rearing its ugly head: polygamy.
Polygamy is defined as the "the custom of having more than one wife or husband at the same time," a practice which directly violates the Biblical commandment instructing marriage to be between a single man and wife (1 Timothy 3:2, 12 and Titus 1:6).
However, the secular media is increasingly attempting to normalize, and even glamorize this kind of perverted lifestyle.
Showtime is airing an original series called Polyamory: Married & Dating, which follows two polyamorous families living in Southern California. The show follows in the footsteps of "Sister Wives," which shows a depicting a man "happily married" to three wives.
Most recently, NBC released a show called True Believers, in which viewers get an inside look into what it's like to "live with multiple partners without sacrificing the comforts of home." The producers get up close and person with five adults and a 9-year-old girl who see nothing amiss with their lifestyle.
Jennifer LeClaire, author of "The Making of a Prophet" calls the push for polygamy a "new level of debauchery," warning that it will soon follow in the footsteps of the homosexual agenda in becoming a national issue.
"The prince of the power of the air is using media to push a new level of debauchery to generations young and old," she writes. "ABC has preached the "gospel of polyamory" in its attempt to move past gay marriage into further destruction of God's plan for the family." "Slowly and steadily, the push for polyamory is rising in the media, in many ways taking a page from the gay agenda's playbook. Polyamory is already a legislative issue in Canada. Rest assured, America is next. The shadow of Sodom and Gomorrah hangs over America. Perversion is rising. Currently, polyamory is illegal in 21 states, but recent polls suggest that number may change. NBC reports that 5 percent of people in the United States are in polyamorous relationships and reveals there are over 900 in Atlanta's polyamory community. LeClaire warns against complacency, saying Christians have an obligation to protect God's plan for the family and protect the next generation. She encourages Christians to unite together and pray for the preservation of traditional marriage. "If we sit by and complain or stick our heads in the sand, arguing that Christians should not be discussing these issues, then we're admitting defeat and displeasing Christ. But if you believe that God can deliver some from the grip of immorality...then drop to your knees and join with me in intercessory prayer. It's not only about setting the captives free-it's about protecting the next generation of young minds the media is molding.
“The ancient Israelis had a very different attitude about sex than we have. Remember the story of the old King David and Abishag the Shunamite. Looking at beautiful naked girls was believed to have strong medicinal benefits!”
If you came away with that conclusion from reading that account....you are part of the sexual immorality problem in this country - the Shulamite was a gloried nurse to help keep an extremely old man warm - and NOT in the sexual sense.
IF Americans had not of been so immoral in heterosexual matters, which your flippant remark is indicative of, then this homosexual plague would never have become an issue. Sadly, the legitimization of homosexual behavior has its roots in the legitimization in hetereosexual sin and license to practice evil (unbridled and unashamed lust). BTW - America has been polygamous for years - it is called “serial polygamy” with doing it one spouse at a time. No respect for the permanence of marriage.

“However, it is not unnatural for a male mammal to mate with more than one female.”
Human beings are not animals. Polygamy was never seen as a “good” thing in the Bible....it ONLY brought problems for those persons that practiced it.
Homosexuality and Polygamy are BOTH sexual immorality and should both be equally suppressed by any “God Fearing” people.
Most divorces are initiated by the female, not the male. You knew that, right?
Are you saying God doesn’t sanction what he doesn’t prohibit...?
King David practiced polygamy and was a man after God’s heart. The fact that Deacons and Elders were supposed to be the husband of ONE wife means there were Christians who had more than one.
I’d prefer to keep homosexuality and polygamy illegal in the US as offensive to society, but I find polygamy much less offensive and believe it has a much stronger case for acceptance by the courts than homosexual marriage.
Yep here they come again, trying to lesson the abomination of sodomy by making polygamy a worse issue than what it is which is a no issue.
There were some more.
Abrahams wives Sarah, Hagar, later on Keturah.
Jacobs wives Leah, Rachel, Zilpah and Bilhah.
And when Pedophilia becomes legal the same ones will be hollering,( its going to lead to polygamy, its going to lead to polygamy....
Yes, and in each case these plural wives brought them grief and harmed the Kingdom of Israel and the world. Also, by the time the Lord Jesus was on earth, plural marriage was no longer recognized. It actually was never sanctioned by God at all....more or less tolerated at best.
God works in strange ways, thank god for Israel.
There’s a bit of a difference between two consenting adults of the same gender wanting to have sex and an adult wanting to have sex with an underage child who can’t consent.
Anyone can write a screwballed book, but that doesn’t mean it’ll ever become widely accepted
One of the big differences between homosexuality and pedophilia is that you don’t have to be religious to despise pedophiles. I’m of the opinion that that’s what’s going to keep it from ever being accepted.
From wikipedia:
“
In 2000, Robert and Barbara Curley sued NAMBLA for the wrongful death of their son. A NAMBLA founder speculated that the case would “break our backs, even if we win, which we will.”[4] The suit was eventually dismissed. Media reports from 2006 have suggested that for practical purposes the group no longer exists and that it consists only of a web site maintained by a few enthusiasts.[16]”
No doubt......
“Anyone can write a screwballed book, but that doesnt mean itll ever become widely accepted”
Except that’s exactly the sort of thing that happened with homosexuality 40 years ago.
“One of the big differences between homosexuality and pedophilia is that you dont have to be religious to despise pedophiles.”
The same was said of homosexuality. Remember, it was removed from Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 40 years ago - and the DSM is NOT a religion guided book by any means.
“Im of the opinion that thats whats going to keep it from ever being accepted.”
I understand, but they ultimate goal of the sexual revolution is the sexual use of children. That has always been the goal. The revolutionaries are headed to it. It is inevitable unless someone stops it. Everything you said could have been said about homosexuality, polygamy, and polyamory just 40 years ago. Now, they have all gone significantly mainstream. All it takes is winning the popular culture. Look at the description for this recent film: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2479800/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_23 Now think of its star: James Franco: http://hollywoodlife.com/2014/04/04/james-franco-instagram-scandal-apology-confession-live-with-kelly-and-michael/ They’re nibbling around the edges - 17 year olds. They’ll go younger - with public approval - soon.
Oh, and one more thing about Franco: http://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/dec/07/james-franco-interior-leather-bar-sex-pornographic-film
The sense of Genesis 2:24 is singular. Isaac and Rebecca seemed to know it.
God is pretty clear about what he forbids.
What makes you think they won’t start to think they can consent? In many places you can have an abortion and be handed contraception without parental consent, which has contributed to destigmatisng underage sex. IMHO, the process of destigmatising underage sex, eventually to be followed by legalising and then normalising, has already begun. Having said that, I believe polygamy will follow before paedophillia does, but the process is already under way.
Obama already brought slavery back. Obamacare creates the “company store”.
