As the oddball on the site, I have walked a different path to arrive at more or less the same place. When I met my wife, I was dating her friend. She and I hit it off and we're obviously very interested in her. After knowing her for a time, she... -

The first glimmer of this truth hit me when I read 2nd Samuel chapter 12, verse 8. At that point (nearly 20 years ago), I realized polygamy isn't adultery. I didn't yet realize that it is completely legitimate, but I knew for certain that it...

After 2,000 years of church history and Greco-Roman and Church culture that denigrated polygyny, it is only by the grace of God that we are all here, understanding, believing, and trusting in His perfect wisdom and grace....I am generally curious...

Oh and why would Solomon be warning his son about the adulterous woman, while simultaneously having 999 of them?

Well God claimed that His two wives were adulterous, when He was the One who had two of them!!!!

Perhaps an editing error? Must the man be married? Any man engaging with a married woman not his own seems more precise.

Excellent point, thanks Megan, and I should have been more precise in my request. We should first settle this issue with those who accuse us of adultery. Ask the one making the accusation to show you from the Bible the biblical definition of...

Define what is adultery first: Adultery is sexual contact between a married man and a woman who is married to someone else. If the man and woman are married to each other then that's not adultery. Legally, in the West, only one man and one...

When describing what coveting is, we also find a nugget about the definitions of what appears to be adultery as well. David was also guilty of coveting first, then adultery by… “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet...

Many will say Jacob (among others) was in adultery for having more than one wife; Leah first, then Rachel, then the two maids. However, in Matthew 8:11 Jesus said Abraham, Isaac and Jacob would be in the kingdom of heaven. Paul wrote in 1...

I'll begin... I heard a guy say David was in adultery for having more than one wife. The guy had just pointed out David's sin of adultery with Bathsheba, and quite correctly shown this was the sin of adultery because she was the wife of Uriah. He...

Joleneakamama replied to the thread Greetings!.There is a lot to consider with this subject, and much of it is hard to even imagine....when the hypothetical "other wife" is a faceless specter of unknown temperment! May I suggest she read the blog of a member here who shared her struggles...

Yes, Sister, it is true. It is also the case that the cages they hung the polygynous Anabaptists of Münster in are still there today. It is a grievous thing that those who have been washed in the blood of the Lamb and are mystically joined...

And these sentiment by Virginia Baptists like George Mason and others is what contributed to Jefferson including the Bill of Rights in the Constitution and promoting, in his writings, the concept of separation of church and state. Baptists...

P.S. While for some advocates of Baptist Successionism is undoubtedly a matter of pride, as it is said that pride is the first thing to enter into a man and the last thing to leave, for others it is a matter of necessity. If, in fact: 1. The...
