Heterosexuality Discussion ForumDifferent kinds of heterosexual sex??? ??? ??? I apologize. Did you not see my quote. I'll review, with a little editing: Deuteronomy 17:16-17 Do the previous 2 lines not look similar to you at all. It seems pretty obvious: If v17 is a sin, then so is v16 because they say virtually the EXACT SAME THING! It is astounding that you can't see the legitimacy of a polygynous marriage as the bible displays it. All of this tripe about how God winked at it then, how times have changed, etc. does not explain why more than 30 biblical men were married to more than one wife at a time. It does not explain why your god blessed those men despite their 'sinful' lifestyle, as you suppose it to be. One of Jesus's parables - the parable of the wise and foolish virgins - describes a situation in which a man was to be married to 10 virgins but only ended up marrying 5 of them. Would Jesus use a sinful act to teach his people. According to your 'logic', he did. An aside: (I know what your going to say: "The other 9 were part of the wedding party." This isn't an American wedding with bridesmaids and groomsmen. All of the women were intended for the bridegroom, just as all of the individual members of the church are awaiting their bridegroom, Jesus.) End aside. There is nothing promiscuous about one man being faithfully devoted to one or many wives. Just as a mother can be bound to more than one child, a husband has the capacity to be bound to more than one wife. Polygyny does not indicate promiscuity any more than a monogomous relationship does. Beyond all of that, where is the practice forbidden in scripture? With the Levitical law being as specific as it is, where is the commandment to not marry more than one wife. Did Moses not get the memo to include that particular line in the scripture? There's also not specific instruction against multiple women being together with a single man [or with each other, for that matter, which would have logically followed Leviticus 18:22]. Apparently Moses was napping during Levitical Writing 101 (yes, Aineo, that's sarcasm). Let's see: - More than 30 men who had multiple wives - Your god's blessing on men who practiced it - Jesus referencing the practice in a parable - No specific condemnation of it, despite the Levitical detail of sexual impurities - Multiple scriptural references to men who have "more than one wife" as previously mentioned by Helix And your case rests on "he made them male and female". Kind of hard to see the forest because all these darned trees keep getting in the way. :roll: |
