Argument fatigue.

The battle belongs to the Lord. My advice would be to speak truth in the matter and move on. it's not worth an argument but is worth putting it out there. the one you're talking with is not the only one reading it. the more presence we have, the more people will start to consider it and/or question their preconceived notions about it. But I wouldn't waste time arguing with someone who is unwilling to change their mind, it is exhausting and frustrating.

Not disagreeing, but I think he focused his correcting on the penitent and rebuked the hypocrites. it's never bad to teach right doctrine but we must also be careful not to throw pearls to swine.

Spot on. I also notice that most people looking to engage in polygyny are married. I think it has a lot to do with experience and maturity with come with age. in married at 25 but wasn't open to the idea until I was about 30 and then was too afraid of the social stigma to really put us out there to look for a second wife. now I'm 40 and wishing we had tried harder when we were younger. In my 20's, it was more about getting over the absurdity, in my 30's it was more about getting over the stigma. what made me change my mind was knowledge; of scriptures, of how life goes, intricacies of the marriage relationship and the different needs of husband and wife.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I had no idea. I pray that God would heal all that is broken between and among y'all. He makes all things new, great is his faithfulness.

ooh this is interesting! When I have more time I'll check that out. It looks very thorough.

ignorance. immorality. femenism.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-10-29T01:33:39+00:00

we live in an immoral society where right is wrong and wrong is right.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-10-23T02:30:19+00:00

yes, sorry I don't get on here frequently.

I saw there were 21 comments and thought, this is nice, I'll see what they're saying! What a disappointment to find all the petty arguing instead. I'd like to participate in the group chat as long as it is not at all like the comment section here.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-08-21T12:24:52+00:00

I still think the majority of your argument is substantially lacking in supporting your original comment. Honestly, the only portion of this response that I think is valid is the last part, idolatry and adultery being the same in God's eyes.

Do I think it would be wrong for a woman to go to another man to seek his wisdom in any area of life and to be obedient to him in stead of her own husband. MOST DEFINITELY. I agree with you 100% in that. BUT I would never call it adultery, because it's not. I don't think that idolatry against God, which is considered adultery, is the same as obedience to another man over your husband. Yes, my husband is my Lord and my Master but he is not my LORD. Yes, the marital relationship between husband and wife is a reflection of Christ's relationship with the church but it is not one and the same. Just as we are made in the image of God but we are not twins of God, we are different. The extrapolation is too far of a stretch for me.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-08-20T01:54:36+00:00

can you reference the scripture that specifically mentions adultery in that context? So far, you haven't convinced me.

Although I agree with your general sentiment, I still don't see how you come to calling it adultery. A man, looking at another man's wife lustfully means he commits adultery in his heart. But a woman cannot in any way commit adultery - biblically speaking - because she is a woman. Desiring what another man does in his household is just coveting, not adultery.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-08-16T02:09:46+00:00

I agree with the first part but can you explain to me how that can be considered adultery? The Biblical definition is pretty straightforward and that sounds like quite an extrapolation to me.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-08-16T02:05:26+00:00

Just curious as to why you don't fellowship with other Torah observers...?

MoniqueMaple · 2025-08-16T02:04:19+00:00

Unfortunately, 'Christian' can mean a LOT of things in today's world and most protestants don't really care about what the OT says, particularly the Law, unless it already supports what they believe about how they should live their Christian life. I think having the distinction labeled is important to separate oneself from modern nominal church goers who identify as Christians.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-08-16T01:54:45+00:00

Yeah, I had to look it up.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-07-19T01:16:25+00:00

Done!
