I always find it interesting when certain Christians can see through the lies promoted by the general population in one area, and then completely miss it in other areas. Polygyny is one of those areas where it is so taboo and off limits, that it is not really allowed to be debated. And you would never find a father who would ever give away his virgin daughter to be the 2nd wife of a man. God forbid! he would exclaim. But the reason why my family even considers polygyny as an option is because we have decided not to be conformed to the world (Romans 12:2) and that in a generation where Americans have wholeheartedly rejected the counsel of the LORD, if something is a popular opinion, it is usually wrong. All that to say, I don't believe our generation knows things better than previous generations. I think we are doing much worse in our thinking.
Enter the issue of race, racism, Nazism, and "hate". All of these labels are entirely ambiguous and meaningless because they are so over-used and abused. Christians are labeled as "haters" because they don't believe in accepting something that God hates, in Sodomy. But when you examine the fruit of the actions of both sides, the people doing the hating are actually those opposing the Christians. We Christians are opposed, slandered, called names, sued in the court of law, and discriminated against in the market and workplace, bullied into submission because we will not believe in their Marxism. What makes someone "full of hate" isn't actual hate, but a refusal to bow the knee to Baal and rather submitting to God's ways. It is no different when thinking about the terms "Nazi and Racist".
Where I work, there is a certain race of people who always sit together when at meetings or anything they do. This doesn't matter what department it is either. In general, this group sticks together. Why? Because they love each other and are more comfortable with each other than other groups. This is not wrong (they are not the same race as me) for them to do so. I also prefer my own people.
If I were to start a business of my own, and I had to start building a staff, and say, that my children wanted to work for me, and so did your children; who do you think I am going to hire? My children, of course; even if your children are more qualified than mine. Why? Because I love my children more than I love yours. I prefer to work with them more than I prefer to work with your children. They know me better, they understand my thinking better, and can relate to me better. If I had to choose between my cousin and yours, I would choose mine also. And along down the family tree you could go to understand my point.
So when someone has a business and prefers to work with someone in his distant extended family more than he prefer to work or do business with people of other groups, and prefers people who he is more familiar with, trusts more, knows better, is more closely related to, etc.; he is automatically labeled a Nazi, KKK leader, who wants to kill everyone who is not like him. This is insanity, but this is how it goes. Such a man is ostracized from society and is "in the closet" to borrow a term of the sodomites. He is oftentimes deprived of a living. But he is considered the person who "hates". It is actually the opposite.
Would I be considered a "racist" because I prefer that any wife I take to be a certain race, and of a certain national origin? Sadly, I probably would be by most people in this country. But love for one's own is not equivalent to hate for others. I do not hate your family because I love my family more than yours. Why should I get lumped into the same category as a guy like Theodore Kauffman (A Jew), who wrote a book "Germany Must Perish", calling for the genocide of all Germans?
Anyhow, much more can be said, but I do not wish to debate, just give understanding where misunderstandings appear to abound. Don't get sucked into the terminology and buy into the philosophy of those who hate Christ, and are trying to rebuild the Tower of Babel!
