I have no problem agreeing to disagree. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion when there is no direct reference to a topic. I have drawn an opinion from context clues, and you have drawn a different opinion. So be it. Do you believe God sees polygamy as immoral today?

While there is no direct prohibition for most men in the Bible to have more than one wife, there are indicators that God was against the practice. Abraham took two wives and there was turmoil in his house because of that: Genesis 16:5-6 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have...

Just because God allows something does not mean He’s ok with it. Do you believe God is ok with abortion? Do you believe He is ok with genocide? No, I didn’t forget. But look at your own response: Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was...

Every moral issue we face today is addressed in scripture. Gay marriage…forbidden. AI…if it’s used for good, then good. If it’s used for evil, forbidden. Cloning…God is the giver of all life. And we do have direct access to God for clear and relevant positions for every issue. That direct...

Divorce and remarriage was allowed under Jewish law but that was not God’s plan. Nowhere in Scripture do we read of God encouraging multiple wives. God allows people to lie and steal, but He does not support such actions. The same applies to marriage. God’s intent has always been one man and one...

The Revelation of Jesus is the conclusion of the story of God’s redemption of mankind. In Revelation we see Jesus as the King of Kings who finally and forever defeats Satan and all of his evil associates. In Revelations we see perfect justice executed on the ungodly. Believers receive glorified...

I’m talking about the book of Revelations. It closed the canon of scripture.

The completion of scripture is not a problem at all for Christians. If God can create the universe out of nothing, it would be easy for Him to ensure the canon of scripture is complete. With the Revelation the scriptures were complete. Everything a person needs to know for salvation and...

Jesus made it clear that from the beginning, God’s intention was marriage to be between one man and one woman. Just because God allowed multiple wives does not mean He endorsed the practice. Matt.19:4-5 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the...

Not at all. I had already sent you a DM. This was directed towards others.

From the website https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/83754/what-is-the-basis-for-the-belief-that-the-apostle-john-died-around-ad-100

That’s what I thought. And yet I often find myself in trouble for words others don’t like. Oh well, I count it all joy when others try to silence my words. That places me in good company.

Here is a wonderful answer given by John Piper on the authorship of the Gospel of John https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/who-is-the-disciple-jesus-loved

Justin Martyr may very well have used that phrase. But that does not mean he doubted John as the author of the Gospel that bears his name. Again, I have offered academic support for John being the author. If you can provide supporting evidence that he didn’t I will be happy to examine it.

Since we are discussing thought crimes, I would like to delve a little deeper. Words, both spoken and written, are expressions of thoughts. Harsh words express harsh thoughts. Kind words reveal kind thoughts. If kind words expressing concern for others are spoken, are the thoughts behind the...
