I'm just going to say a few things, and I won't be replying on this again (probably), you can DM me, I'll eventually answer, but I'm away from home this week. We did meet Israel and his wives at the BF summer retreat this year - everyone found...

They were and they were an exceptional family. They led a period of praise and worship that was very moving.

May God still use this story for people to study what Bible truly says about patriarchy and polygyny. I have been told that this family was at last biblical family retreat. Whatever error they hold to, may God use our brothers and sisters to...

Doctrinal deficiencies? In what way? Please explain. How do you know these women are teaching mixed multitudes? This video seemed to show a testimonial. Did I miss something? How do you read the admonition for women to be silent in the...

This is great information! Some how I had never heard of this episode.

Happy Reformation Day! Over 500 years ago, Martin Bucer gathered fellow theologians to approve Prince Philip of Hesse’s second marriage. Though courageous in opposing Rome, these reformers faltered when confronting polygyny—pressure to conform to...

Welcome Jamie! There is certainly a lot of new ideas and emotions that come up when you accept polygyny as a biblical option. I have shared a few things here in the forums that have helped me make sense of my inner conflicts....or to be more...

Our family has done different things over the years due to changing circumstances. The general idea was one of "it really isn't anyone's business" especially if we didn't know them well. We did all agree that telling family was important since...

Long time has passed since last time forum was so much united. All thanks to @Kojent

Ah, McClintock. Love JW and that movie. Maureen O’Hara is one of my faves. Not as good a flick as Quiet Man, but still good.

So you’ve kind of conceded the point, there is no need to submit to ungodly leaders, even if they’re not ordering you to say anything ungodly, their very ungodliness precludes them as ordained authority.

It seems pretty clear to me that Solomon violated all three of those commands from Deuteronomy 17 (excessive horses, getting them from Egypt, excessive wives, and excessive gold and silver). Deuteronomy 17 warns that these can result in the...

I don’t believe that Solomon was seeking those wives. Israel was in its heyday during his reign and leaders of countries, provinces, towns or whatever wanted to get in his good graces. What do you give a king who has anything that he wants...

When you do the math on a thousand women....he had to marry a new one every couple weeks for like 20 years. There is no way he could maintain relations with that many wives. Could he even remember their names? As I understand it those living...
