No doubt you'll keep trying. :p Fine question. And I always get some mileage out of starting off the answer in the most scandalous way possible: "by falling in love with a married preacher," lol. In the late '90's I was an intern working at the...

WARNING: Long post ahead It was recently suggested that people here should share their stories of how they came to realize the real joy of God's plan for Human marriages, and how discovering God's blessing upon polygynous households became a...

I think he was making fun of Isaac because even when Abraham put her and Ishmael away scripture is clear they were provided for and I don’t think they would have buried Abraham together if Ishmael had done that to Isaac

I always get jaw drops when I point out to folks that Ishmael has his own twelve tribes and was greatly blessed by God. And when you point out that Judah wasn’t born to a “legitimate” wife......whoa!!!!

There are a lot of ignorant preachers. There are also a lot of dishonest preachers. Those same men that call Ishmael illegitimate never dare to call Joseph and his brothers a.bunch of bastards. They aren't even consistent in their...

Isaac was the child of promise, and heir of the covenant, through whom the Savior of the World would come. In the book of Galatians, the apostle Paul tells us that this (at least partially) has to do with him being the son of the free woman, not...

Thanks for posting your comment and I agree with you. People twist the Scriptures to support their faulty presuppositions, even telling lies about what is written. This comment below is something many seem to ignore. Fighting in marriages...

Proverbs 6:26 is very interesting. It is translated in various ways in different translations, some of which don't seem to make much logical sense. But the NRSV renders it extremely interestingly: Proverbs 6:23-35 For the commandment is a lamp...

If you get to impugn all sovereign election guys by the deeds of some, Can I redeem them by the life of one? The prince of preachers, one Charles H Spurgeon, is regarded by many as one of the greats in any era. “All of Grace” is still a very...

Good list of tasks, but you've missed the most important, bar praying of course, let's call it task 0: 0: Be the best husband you can be to one wife There's always more we can do better. Understanding polygamy helps us to understand patriarchy...

This is also abundantly evident with the debate over monogamy and polygyny. If we stick with always seeking to understand a passage of Scripture as the Author intended, we would all save ourselves a lot of trouble. Study and teach salvation or...
