What you are observing is a group of people doing what you encouraged all of us to do…searching the scriptures. Verses are found. They are read. They are taken at strict face value. That might seem legalistic, but it’s actually just basic...

I like these examples. I think they’re good evidence. If we are being 100% honest, they are implicit, not explicit commands for polygyny. I’m not sure these are a slam dunk, but they can be deduced to at least allowing the possibility of...

Levirate marriage if man is already married. Taking care of widows also implies mandatory polygyny if all men are already married. Seduction of virgin implies taking ex-virgin as additional if man is already married.

As much as I thought I used to hate the debate on the details of this topic, I’d rather we argue over when marriage begins than over a personal clashes over triviality. So, is the master in a marriage, or is it something else until he does the deed?

LOL. Onan died because he refused to "properly do" Levirate marriage. And he wasn't levirate priest. I thought you know this story from Genesis 39. And that Levirage marriage is implied in book of Ruth and that Levirage marriage has nothing...

You won’t be taken seriously until you can produce results. In industry we have a saying; If you can’t produce, you teach. If you can’t teach, you inspect.

If your best argument is it’s your common sense. You are the only one with interesting ideas Everyone else is intellectually inferior That’s not a very convincing argument I can tell you from 30 years experience in marriage with the same...

12Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Hmmm... I suspect your description of salvation came the Book of Common Sense because I see there is no Bible reference given. Salvation is a gift from God where He rescues the sinner from His eternal wrath through the substitutionary sacrifice...

And, once again, it devolves into something else completely and also personal when @MemeFan comes along. Perhaps we get back on track with the original post question and thought?

Of course this all comes from your experience with your own wife right. So you would know better than most.

This is something I've analyzed. I don't deny that economic realities exist, or the challenge. The Scriptures make it clear a man should "count the cost" before building. At the same time, for all the difficulties of modern life, we do have more...
