Poly Practised Elsewhere

Well what can we expect from a woman from Oxford; classic feminist perspective. Conflates different biologically based roles with value. Apparently from this perspective, women aren't valued unless they're in power.
I've lived in a society where women are valued above men; no thanks. God's way actually works.
An interesting read. The writer seems to understand that the God spoken of in the Bible is a polygamous God by using the plural pronoun and referring to 'their "husband"'.
"The prophets Hosea, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel all use the metaphor of an adulterous woman to condemn the people of Israel who have been unfaithful to Yahweh, their “husband,” by worshiping other gods."
It's disappointing so-called Bible scholars can't see that fact and therefore misrepresent God through their monogamy-only teaching.
I have to try this beer.
Amen!
It continues to amaze me how close so-called Bible scholars can come to the truth and yet miss seeing it. Or maybe it is that they don't miss seeing it, but turn a purposeful blind eye to it. A quote I've heard... "There are none so blind as those who do not want to see"
Yes, that would certainly be the case with some as it is written in Rom. 1:18; they "suppress the truth in unrighteousness."
Still, I think there are many who are like I was, just never studied the matter diligently for myself.
I'm guessing that is probably the case of most who go under the name Christian. I know I spent far too much time on the "never studied" road. I am very thankful for the grace I was given to move my understanding to where it is now, and for having been given a desire to search diligently to see if these things be so.
This one makes a good point. Men are naturally polygynous; you can't fight biology. If you force monogamy the result with be STDs, prostitution, abortions and bastard children (and the social ills thereof). But if you allow them polygyny you harness that biological urge in the creation of healthy families instead of social ills.
The comment; "Most people with the infection in this kingdom, are either bachelors and spinsters as well as couples in a monogamous marriage" is something governments and social legislators seem blind to!
or not. A lot of money is made off of these diseases.
