And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters. 1 Chronicle 14:3 .
Tractorman: Your true color are beginning to show…or is it the old man in you trying to over power the new man in you. I do not care what you think of me…I fall or will stand before God and not you. Although I am grieved my elder brother in Christ, and one that is quite formal- one who is so immerse in the scriptures could not see what am trying to do.
We are all obsess…we never stop thinking of something…some are obsess with God and the bible,,,some with self…some for the cause of what is right. Now if i am obsess with polygamy as you say…is there something wrong with that? Have I made it my idol? Or as you already know…I am here to prepare the way….to order what needs ordering…yet you will not believe.
What does the Lord require of you Tractorman? Does He need you to blabber about His Words…to add right words to His SET & Perfect Words to a point where that exercise is vain? Where no one even bothers to read your ALL YOUR BLABBER-your contribution to informations overload? Remember in making of many books there is no end.
Does God not requires you to preach what needs to be preachED? To order what needs to be ordered?And in this case when we SEE the MAIN CAUSE of the destruction of our women, children and society is the BIG LIE OF THE SHOULD BE MONOGAMY FOR ALL MEN, won’t we do what needs to be done? Don’t put my words aside Tractorman nor think that I am here on my own. Why won’t you try and test the spirit-and be like the Bereans, make sure of it…then when you find what I’ m saying is true…JUST DO IT!
Your advice to me: “Tell ya what - why don’t you LOVE YOUR WIFE SO MUCH to the point that she can NO LONGER handle all the LOVE you are demonstrating to her that she DEMAND that you spread your immense love to another woman… or two or three more?!”
My comment: Try your advise to me on your wife and see if she will permit you to add another wife? If your wife was Esther or Ruth or Sarah or any of the Holy women of old, they will permit you. But now you are married to a woman however godly she is yet she was born together with you in this point of time where the Laws of God on Marriage and Family had already been changed by the antichrist-in it place is a tampered Law passed off as the genuine one. You and your wife have swallowed that LIE-hook, line and sinker-together with the majority-the many- on the wide road to destruction of family and society. Our enemy is subtle Tractorman, and do not think that just because you are immerse in the scripture that he can’t pull one off on you.
You asked me :But from a DOCTRINAL viewpoint, can you please provide me with a NEW TESTAMENT verse which condones, acknowledges, encourages or provides guidance regarding the taking or maintenance of ADDITIONAL wives….I’m not asking for quotes by Luther, Calvin or a www site link, blog post or anything else, but from the New Testament scriptures only…
My comment: Tractorman, how does the Old Testament and New Testament differ? Is it not that the New Testament is founded on the Old Testament? By your asking me of this, are you rightly dividing the Word of God aright? Are you not putting too much weight on the New while ignoring the foundation? Think deep o Godly man! Come let us reason together Tractorman so those vague spots on your treasured doctrines will be spotlighted upon-and you may see!
Think! If Martin Luther the reformer believe polygamy was not a sin, was he wrong? If God Himself compares Himself to a Polygamist would that make Him a pervert? If a man after God’s own heart practice polygamy and polygamy was a sin, would God not have told David to cease and desist from such a practice? A practice that Abraham, Jacob, and even Moses practiced by marrying more than one wife. So is POLYGAMY A SIN AGAINST GOD? If it is not then tell us so! don’t let your pride or haste on your part let you post words that later you will regret Tractorman, as your little brother in Christ I beseech you think and pray whether what am saying is true.
