Biblical Families is not a dating website. It is a forum to discuss issues relating to marriage and the Bible, and to offer guidance and support, not to find a wife. Click here for more information.
Unfortunately for Orthodox who want to practice polygyny, church leaders have excessive amounts of sway. Be prepared to get anathema award.
I hope you will select to esteem teaching of God over traditions of men.
The only Orthodox I know who...
Hi!
I’ve been browsing around Biblical Families for a while now, but not formally introduced myself (and my hubby who does not yet have an account on here, but I am constantly reading threads and posts to). I emailed to inquire about the...

You have some good meat to chew on and I won’t add too much more.
I will say that your biggest hurdle won’t be showing specific verses or arguing from a NT perspective. Your biggest hurdle will be the antinomian mindset that...
Here are some additional thoughts on Romans 7, specifically verse 4.
Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should...
Thanks for sharing from the Church of Christ perspective @FatherRuleMemes. That was helpful. 👍🏻
The "Duck Dynasty" Robertson guys are Church of Christ aren't they? I've listened to some of their podcasts dealing with religious matters, and...
Here is another NT passage for consideration.
But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. (1st Corinthians 11:3 NKJV))
The relationship between Christ and the Christian...
There is a book here in the resources "Marriage from the Bible Alone" that is very good. I also appreciate how @frederick approaches it. What is the penalty? What class of sin is it? Those unanswerable questions coupled with "Many will come...
Thank you very much for your thoughts; reading through it the way you laid it out was helpful in structuring ours a bit better!
Also thank you! This repeated notion that the responsibility for proof is theirs makes so much sense.
I've...
Hi @All to Him, congratulations for taking a stand for the authority of Holy Scripture. 👍 @Bartato has presented many valuable answers and biblical truths to point out to the people you are talking with. Something I find most helpful to keep in...
Those passages from Hebrews have nothing to do with marriage, polygyny , sexuality, or the moral law.
The fact that Christ has accomplished redemption, and that we are now under the New and better Covenant does not change the moral fabric of the...
Like you, I tend to believe that the moral law given in the Old Testament still generally applies. It is from God Himself after all. Marriage and sexuality are governed by the moral law.
I'm a Reformed leaning Southern Baptist FWIW. I do not...
Hello (and sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section 😬).
In an unplanned, but made sense in the moment manner, I shared with my parents our discovery of what Biblical Marriage is and that it includes polygyny.
Silvio was on video call with...
I believe in exactly what Corinthians 11 says and windblown conforms to that and even goes a bit farther. It's misunderstood though. It's not a direct command. It seems almost unique in all of scripture in how it's worded and presented.
