Asked and answered. "Precedent" means just that. It doesn't always have to be spelled out as "statutes, judgments, and commandments." That's the idea of INSTRUCTION. YHVH tells us what they did, and what it meant.

In John chapter 8, Jesus is involved in a dispute with the Pharisees (v:13). During the course of the discussion one of them makes a veiled accusation against Jesus saying, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.” (v:41). The...

I have to say that it somewhat bothers me that we currently have two threads going here that are judging and seemingly condemning the beliefs of others. However wrong their beliefs may be, that’s not the purpose of this site.

In the same way I believe celibacy is a valid way to live, even an admirably holy way to live for those called to it and able to actually do it (and I'll gladly debate that scripturally) - but I'm not celibate, it's not my calling. I don't have...

Let’s start with the fact that there are males who haven’t proven themselves mature enough to be the leader of one wife. So not even monogamy is a “right” that anyone can expect. Should everyone know the truth about plural marriage? Of course...

From what I understand from Scripture marriage is for most people, whether believer or unbeliever. God made us this way. If you want to be married once, that's fine scripturally. If you want to be married more than once, that's also fine. The...

It's a good test of whether the woman is marriage material. If she answers like that then she's not thinking along marriage lines, and you know to walk away and leave her to the life she's chosen.

How? Where is this in scripture?

I shared our beliefs with practically everyone for 20 years before my husband found another wife. It alienated some, and really made no real difference in acceptance. They had 20 years to research it....but didn't. They had all those years to...
