Nor the division of covenants nor the "Law" of Grace nor authority nor much else.

It would appear he is searching for answers from his reason and logic, rather pharisaical and sad. I pray he will find the Lord's grace and lift his thoughts to higher issues. Janine whatever are you doing on the Knox Ring lass?

I noted he is Reformed Prebyterian which has it's roots in Ulster. They were more Cristocentric and less political than the more common Presbyterian strains. Actually I believe that is what caused their splitting off, something about a rejection of a homogeny with england and Scotland churches solely for political reasons and not for faith reasons.

My own Presbyterian roots, Free Presbyterian, have some ties to them. I knew they existed in the USA but never really realized that they are a force.

Booty, I was given a link to that item by a friend on the "Ship of Fools" - never heard of Knox Ring until this morning.

I'm a pretty progressive-thinking guy, but I honestly liked the piece. Well, most of it. I don't think calling people idiotic or Star Trek characters is appropriate, but what he said made a lot of sense. I may not agree with all of his conclusions, but I can't deny that our world would be in a lot better shape if we were a bit more specific on what is acceptible and what is not in the sex department.

You know, just because somebody tries to follow the rules doesn't mean they have lost God's grace.

Ach Charlie and the rules to be followed would be, Love the Lord you God above all & Love one another as I have loved thee?

Let's hope he doesn't teach the high school or young adults class in his home congregation.

If he tries, and if they've not been well-indoctrinated from the cradle with his views, they may all get up and leave en masse...

Booty, they are a mixed bag over there as always.  Some of my particular friends remember you and ask after you from time to time.

This is so odd..the article relied heavily on the OT but gave no mention to the fact that in the OT MEN WHERE ALLOWED MANY WIVES...in fact they were allowed many wives and many concubines (read live-in honeys)...it is a little easier to follow biblical principles concerning sexual relations when you can have sex with a different wife every night... :bowling:

Why?

Is this simply a "guy thing" that I don't get because I'm a woman?  

Sexual intimacy in a marriage relationship cannot be separated from intimacy in all other aspects.  For a husband and multiple wives to enjoy the intimacy that is God's design for a couple would require all of them to be equally intimate with each other, not just each wife with the man.  That's just not gonna happen!

Well, yes to a certain extent men do tend to be more into multiple partners.

Hhmmm...well it was God's design...polygamy was considered God's design for marriage through out the OT and the practice only stopped being the norm in Isreal when they fell captive to the Romans who outlawed it.   :D
