    But how did she serve him? "Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat. Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her...

    POLYGAMY IN THE LAW OF GOD - BIBLICAL TEXTS

    We're splitting hairs if we debate over whether Abishag should technically be called a "wife" or something else, and that's really quite irrelevant. My point was that she was one of David's women. She was a woman assigned to David. She was a woman that he took to be his. One more on the list of...

    There's also Abishag, whose situation is a little different but is yet another woman whom David took.

    Australian PM calls Elon Musk an 'arrogant billionaire' in row over attack footage

    That's what New Zealand did with the mosque shooting here. It's illegal for me to view or store either footage of the event or the shooter's manifesto. It is only the fact that it remains legal outside NZ which leaves the possibility for such evil events to be studied and learned from. It is...

    Is 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 an ideal passage to discredit the anti-polygynists?

    Of course, much tradition - even most tradition - is good. We all agree we should accept the Bible - even the most anti-traditionalists here accept that to some degree - so we all agree with church tradition to some extent. The issue is simply when it comes to using scripture to contradict...

    Is 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 an ideal passage to discredit the anti-polygynists?

    Everything you said is true. And what you described is church tradition. As you said, the early church was not handed a list of authoritative books from God. They gradually came to a collective agreement on what books were scriptural, which ultimately became settled tradition. That is not...

    I've only got older style euro notes with slightly different imagery, but I can see how he did it. He folded it in a specific place, so the "demon" is formed from the top of Scandinavia in the map that appears on the back of every euro note. The "mouth" is the Gulf of Bothnia and the "eye" is...

    Is 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 an ideal passage to discredit the anti-polygynists?

    Is there a reason for someone to come to that point, which is not itself based upon church tradition? The most convincing internal reason I can think of is the ELS codes that @Mark C has discussed elsewhere, but I am unclear whether they apply to anything other than the Torah itself - and am...

    Polygyny date site?

    I have never used @ModernPolygamy's website, but have administered this forum for many years, and I know very well that there are certain individuals who have had negative experiences here (from their perspective) and as a result recommend people do not use this forum. Rightly or wrongly (I...

    Help for translation

    To be brutally honest, I have to say it is not written in a very gripping fashion - although as a matter or principle I don't like @MarkH's suggestion about using AI tools to improve it, I fully understand why he has suggested it. Also, as I mentioned to someone else today, there are already...

    Is 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 an ideal passage to discredit the anti-polygynists?

    But you're missing the point I was making @Earth_is-. And which books are scripture? The ones church tradition says are scripture - however we debate it, it really does come down to that on some level, because there is no list of which books are scripture in the Bible itself. This is why the...

    The quiet part out loud

    I found it hilarious, because it was humour that touched on a truth like all good humour should. Although I don't intend to discourage you from writing your book, there already are a lot of books on the topic, and talking-head style Youtube videos - but that's it, and those are things that...
