im just so horrified i have to post this. though i dont have many coherent thoughts on this issue. a few days ago, we watched this in our law and religion class. and i found another one. when i watched both i was overwhelmed with sadness for a reason i cant explain. how do you feel if another woman walks out holding your husbands hand? or if he goes into a room with another woman and you know he says the same sweet things to her that he did to you the night before? and the worst part is.. you live together, eat together, go out together, raise your children together. what if that other woman was your best friend.. or your SISTER. (wives 2 and 3 in the video are sisters).
"sister wife". what kind of term is that??
when God created Adam, He created Eve as a companion. He didnt create Eve and Eva and Evelyn for Adam. He created EVE. ONE. SINGULAR. NOT PLURAL. WHICH PART OF THAT DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND.
but along the way in our humanness and sin, we distorted God's will for our lives. Sarah gave Abraham her servant Hagar to bear a son when she could not - polygamy = result? pain and hurt and regret. as i read the Bible, it disappoints me that so many great men in the Bible practised this exact sin of polygamy. Solomon, for one, was the champion of it. i dont know, im not one to comment on this issue cos i havent read up on it and am ignorant on the topic. but one thing i know for sure - God NEVER meant it to be that way. sure, these great men walked with God. but they made mistakes - and polygamy was definitely one of them. i dont quite know why God didnt punish this sin severely (as societal views nowadays would if you were in a polygamous relationship), but im gonna try to find out. so stay tuned!!!
