Re: What Does God Say About Polygamy? -

Anointed Biblical teaching, Brethren. What's more, while hippy-dippy liberal Christians will argue that the Old Testament laws on polygyny were set aside in the New Testament (or rather, their personal opinion of what the Lord meant to say in the New Testament), the New Testament actually takes polygyny for granted. Bishops and deacons are required to be monogamous:
1 Tim. 3:2: A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1 Tim. 3:12: Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
If all Christian men were monogamous as a matter of course, why would the Lord insert that requirement specifically for bishops and deacons? The Bible contains no superfluous words.
This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity™ and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals. If you think that we've misquoted or twisted Scripture or quoted any verse out of context, please explain in detail how we've done so. Otherwise, if what you read on this site offends you, then you're offended by Almighty God and His Word, not by us.
