I was shocked to discover how important social acceptance was to my own wife while discussing polygny. The idea of sharing was not an issue. The social stigma was. And, she felt the full weight of the social stigma when friends of hers called for...

Ahh but we CAN SHOW that at the council at Trent THEY DID MAKE THE NEW ASSERTION. That is when the church decided that scripture guidance alone was insufficient for marriages or divorces to be made. THAT was also when they prescribed...

I don’t think he has that many controversies personally. I think some people are reserving judgement until he’s been in the movement for a little while longer but he’s a mover and a shaker and he seems to know how to get things done.

I am not familiar enough with him to know about his controversies, although reading his background it does not surprise me.

Blogger and commentator "Vox Day" Theodore Beale has a whole complicated male social sexual hierarchy. He breaks men up into these categories. Alpha, Bravo, Delta, Gamma, Omega, plus Sigma and Lambda People frequently ask him about the female...

True. I think it is status, and violence is the most primitive and basic way that men achieve status.

Highly second going to a retreat. They are a great blessing, a lot of fun, and everything else is more effective when you interact with people you have met face to face. You are in a good spot, where you realize the truth, but also have the...

Assuming that commands for one sex apply to both sexes when the text does not support that may be the worst mistake you can make about understanding what God's will is for the two sexes. And you see this all of the time. Very common modern mistake.

So our point of contention is #2. When someone claims that it DOES condemn polygyny, the onus is on them to show that it does, or else they (you in this particular case) are engaging in "Proof by Assertion" which is a logical Fallacy and is...
