Polygamous Relationships

If one so says, to the best of his knowledge and belief, that he is correct; He also, by doing so, is saying that all others are wrong.

Very true. The implications of that observation leads to the fact that for anyone to state that they know God's intent for all men simply on the basis of Adam's having been given one wife, even though they have no other backing for establishing such an assumption as fact, they're basically saying that, irregardless of any evidence, anyone who disagrees with them are wrong.....and on what basis?

Think about it: To what level are some people willing to stoop in order to enforce a belief based purely upon inuendo?

In the face of a complete lack of any declaration from the Lord, "All men shalt have only one wife, as Adam had only one wife," there are people willing to defend the monogamy-only dogma for all men upon no basis of evidence whatsoever. There's a word for that. It's called narcissism. It's similar to the defense homosexuals use when demanding that so long as they love one another, God can't possibly have a problem with their affections....after all, the Lord was addressing only the prostitutional aspect of homosexual activity, not genuine love itself (as if they were ever capable of such love for one anoter).

No genuine Christian would ever let them get away with such terrible appologetics, and yet some turn right around and use the same tactics in defense of a dogma as if the popularity of the belief were sufficient evidence in their favor.
 
Again, I ask where the Lord stated that Adam's having one wife was His ideal for all men throughout all time. Apart from such a statement made by God, any finger pointing at Adam is pure presumption based upon utter silence.

You cause confusion over nothing, Swordman. First of all, you agreed with Guardian's statement - meanwhile you insulted the author of the article and even "stooping" so low to say the author might be a "secret member" on this site. That's pathetic. The author's name is irrelevant anyway, but the source was listed. You contradict your own self, meanwhile going off putting down everyone elses' statements.

You cause confusion here, you're not welcomed to post any further in this thread. Confusion is of the devil alone.
 
Married to more than one wife seem's to not be biblically right.


What about God's command on marriage to one wife in (Genesis 2:24)

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

is it not a singular context for wife?

Yes I know Abraham situation he's still paying for the disobedience in the MiddleEast wars between Israel and Ishmael's people. God knew that more than one wife with Abraham's camp would cause great problems so Hagar was sent away.I am sure Abraham did not know the great consequences of his decision to be with Hagar but we surely see it.Nowhere's did God tell him to sleep with his servant infact He kept stating to Abraham that he and Sarah would be a intricate part of multitudes of generations

Leah was the one chosen for Jacob correct his true wife.Looked he longed for her sister got her guess what she died after the second child Leah went on with life.

Yes solomon had many wives that eventually became his downfall right? She turned him to idols,temple too away and destroyed

David had his own issues with his wives. Including death at birth,incest from mixing of families,siblings killing each other over rape, not to mention devestated Tamar never married.

I donot see where God condoned it from the very start of the bible in Gensis please correct me if I am wrong.

Forgot to add that Leah the first wife of Jacob is the wife who bore the line of Judah the Savior's line through 4th son Judah there must be something to this.
 
One would expect confusion from the Mormons as they are a cult.

To hold office in the church one of the qualifications is to be the "husband of one wife".
The church is the bride of Christ and marriage is a picture of that relationship; one husband, one wife in a loving, nurturing relationship.
