Ok, I admit to being a little slow. After all, I've been involved with the Biblical Family & PM movement for 13 or 14 years, and the following just hit me this morning!
The doxctrines of devils includes forbiding to marry.. That's nothing new.
But we usually identify the "who" (is being forbidden) as being a man forbidden to marry more than one.
But here's the thing -- no-one forbids the man to marry ONCE. So he is allowed, even under monogamist doctrine, to be in a marriage/covenant man/woman relationship, and thus in line with the Divine Proclamation in Genesis 2 that "it is NOT GOOD for man(kind) to be alone."
So who is forbidden? :? :roll:
WOMEN!!!
Women end up being forbidden to marry a man whom they can and do respect, and who is appropriate (i.e. a believer, equally yoked, etc.) because he is already married!
True, some women DO marry. But they live in fear of losing their husband's love and regard and relationship, and then being among those who are alone and forbidden to marry because "all the good men are taken".
And "the rest" of women? Those who aren't IN a marriage relationship? Who look around them and reach the aforementioned out conclusion? FORBIDDEN by this doctrine of devils.
Satan's first lie was aimed at women, deceiving them (well, "her") to the race's hurt. Sounds like he hasn't changed his tactics. Up to us to expose the lie!
