Neo-Feminist: "Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female?"
Jacobs_Trouble: I have also read what is written in the FULL volume of the BOOK that my LORD said that I am a god and that the scripture cannot be broken. (John 10:34-35) Rather where is it written that you are such a goddess that you should disobey the scripture by adding to it?
Neo-Feminist: Notice, God made them ONE from the BEGINNING. And God never changes!
Jacobs_Trouble: The CHANGELESS ONE certainly made them ONE from the BEGINNING. Notice also, what a great multitude of persons will be found in the BRIDE and in the BODY of Christ. Are they not also ONE? How is it then, that a number of souls too great to count are ONE? Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. God is ONE.Wherefore then do you condemn me if there is no marriage nor giving in marriage in the resurrection? (Revelation 7:9) It is because your thoughts are but carnal.
Neo-Feminist: God made ONE wife for Adam -- not a harem!
Jacobs_Trouble: God made ONE wife for Adam and look what happened! Adam could have also allowed his help meet, Eve, to fall into the transgression in the knowledge that His Maker was fully able to provide him a harem of wives 100 times more obedient and beautiful and instill in Adam the ability to please them all. By your reason and logic you could also just as easily say that "ONE WIFE" is already too much trouble for a son of God; but in the beginning it was not so and God was able to provide. But let me ask a thing of you if you are so pure in your knowledge of the word: God made WIVES (plural) for the sons of Adam who took their sisters for wives. This was also in the beginning. Do you say that we should take our sisters for our wives in this way today because "the beginning" is our only godly example of marriage? Is this not incest?
Neo-Feminist: There is NO New Testament biblical support for polygamy.
Jacobs_Trouble: There is New Testament biblical support for both godly monogamy and godly polygyny although neither of these two terms is found in HOLY BIBLE. Godly marriage is the union of a man and a virgin woman in the Lord - regardless of how many times the man may marry a virgin. Now that is Bible. Stay with the word of truth. A man may marry a multitude of wives while he yet lives: A woman may marry only one husband, or be an adulteress. Please do not add to the word but learn to divide it correctly that you may discern with a true witness.
Neo-Feminist: The Lord wants ONE man and ONE woman to be married to each other.....and that is IT!
Where is this written? To the best of my knowledge the only BIBLE in all the established religions of the world today that specifically resorts to the phrase, "only one wife" is the Qu'ran. You will not find the words, "only one wife" written in the pages of the HOLY BIBLE. You will not find the requirement that all husbands are limited to "only one wife". Your words: "and that is IT" are not found in the scripture either. Keep to God's word and do not add to it. NEW TESTAMENT POLYGYNY
Neo-Feminist:Extra-marital relationship is adultery, and we all should know that.
Jacobs_Trouble: The phrase "Extra-marital relationship" is not found in the scripture either but I think that we should all know that there is a great difference between an extra-marital relationship and a godly marriage. Why do you call marriage "adultery"? Does your conscience bother you? The word "extra" means literally "outside of" or, "instead of", as in "extra-curricular". Polygyny is not the practice of getting married... instead of getting married. This is not logical. An extra-marital relationship is an affair outside of marriage. If it is commited with another man's wife, it is adultery. Surely you know this.
Neo-Feminist: Polygamy is clearly adultery in its most outrageous form. What are people trying to justify?!
Jacobs_Trouble: Where is it written? Where does the scripture say, if a man hath two or more wives he is an adulterer? I will assure you, you will not find it in the Holy Bible: God would have even condemned Himself if it were so. But because you say if a man hath two or more wives he is an adulterer and a whoremonger, you condemn God. He is the changeless ONE.It is written throughout the scripture that men of God had two wives and in no place does the scripture call them "adulterers" for this. In full Bible truth, the scriptures give us examples and godly advice in such cases. (see Deuteronomy 21:15). So then. If the word of God recognizes "two wives", and the scripture cannot be broken, is it not then possible for a man to have two wives - even in this dispensation? The term "Two Wives" is found in the HOLY BIBLE twelve times.
Neo-Feminist: From the very beginning GOD wanted it to be "male and female"....ONE wife and one husband.
Jacobs_Trouble: You have said this before, repeating these words often. No matter how many times you repeat these words they do not transform into different words. They do not magically convert into the words you are seeking: "only ONE wife". I am one with my wife and I am also one with my wife. Just as Abraham was ONE with Hagar, so am I ONE with my wife. Just as Abraham was ONE with Sarah, so am I also ONE with my wife. Just as JESUS in the book of Revelation (New Testament) is ONE HUSBANDMAN over a union comprising a MULTITUDE OF PERSONS (plural) in the ONENESS of a Holy Bride.
Neo-Feminist: But God's people were rebellious and they ended up doing what THEY wanted to do. I do not believe God EVER wanted it that way.
Jacobs_Trouble: The flesh is at enmity with God. If God's people were rebellious as you say, how much more rebellious is the world today that despises godly marriage? What you believe is irrevelant because your belief has no root in true doctrine. The neo-feminist may believe that it is also her prerogative to change her mind but God is true. As it is written: For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. - Malachi 3:6
Neo-Feminist: He did permit it in the OT days. He does NOT permit it in the NEW COVENANT church. Period.
Jacobs_Trouble: God permits godly marriage in the NEW COVENANT and in the OLD COVENANT church. Period. God does NOT permit ungodly marriage to thrive in the church. Period. He is the CHANGELESS ONE. Period.
Neo-Feminist: I don't believe that God has ever approved of more than one living wife for any man. Quite the contrary, He FORBADE IT, even to the kings of Israel....and that by written STATUTE!
Jacobs_Trouble: God permits and then changes his mind? How typical of neo-feminist logic. Only "quite"? Is the LORD our God so confused that He should vacilate as a woman in her moment of indecision? Again you err, not discerning the fullness of the scripture. First you say, He permitted and now you say He FORBADE what He permitted. This does not sound much like the CHANGELESS ONE to me. The STATUTE that you refer to does not forbid the godly "adding" of wives but the MULTIPLYING for gain, like cattle. If your words were in full agreement with the scripture then you are saying that God broke His own STATUTE by adding wives unto King David. Try as you might, you cannot have it BOTH ways. Either God is true, or He is a liar. I verily maintain that God is true. In Him there is no variance. I understand that neo-feminists change their minds a great deal.
Neo-Feminist: BUT, I think he did allow it because of the hardness of their hearts.
Jacobs_Trouble: Oh. My apology. I thought you stated that God FORBADE it altogether. Now you say He "allowed" it because of the hardness of their hearts. Do you suppose only men of Old Testament times suffered from hardness of heart but women were exempt? Why do you continue to confuse godly marriage with adultery? Even because you listen to the wrong voice.
Neo-Feminist: Sometimes God will allow you to have what you want, but you will lose what you got in the end.
Jacobs_Trouble: You would do well to heed these words as it is obviously your vehement desire to have things your own way and NOT according to the perfect way of Jesus. Jezebel was the same. Jezebel wanted to be the Lord of her lord and she too, was no lady but a powerful neo-feminist of her time. I have little doubt that she did not stand for godly marriage either. Nonetheless the standard of holiness is not the standard of sexual egalitarianism and equality for genders. The Neo-Feminist feigns to desire that godly men obey the law of the Wifewoman and the Husbandman both but it is written that a man cannot serve two masters and herein lies the confusion of the Wifewoman.
